Gear vendors od?
A friend called me up yesterday with a stalling truck. They were on the freeway and it stalled out while driving, it'd start up but stall all the time. I told him to try and replace the cps. It idled well but coudn't drive at all, as soon as you put it in drive it stalls. We thought maybe the converter had stuck or something so I told him to try and give it some gas when shifting it so it won't stall. Well that worked but now it's not moving.
We keep diagnosing it and we get to a Gear vendors overdrive unit, there is oil all over it. Disconnect the solenoid, and tried driving it and now it moves. It seems like the truck has no power. It's like maybe the TC is slipping to much.
Has anyone had any problems like this? I think maybe the unit is fried. Any suggestions?

Thanks, so here's what we got so far. H changed the oil in that od gear deal and filled it from the wrong hole. Don't ask me I haven't even seen it. Well there was only about 1/4 quart in there and it seems that he burned it up. We're going to look for a regular driveshaft and get rid of that gearvendor's od deal.
So anyone happen to have one laying around they'd like to donate?
It's a cc sb srw.

Not too many of us keep one of those laying around on the shelf. I take it this truck is fairly new to him? Did he ever use the GV unit? If it's something he likes, you might contact them about the cost to rebuild the unit.

GV will typically offer a reduced price for return customers,ie: repairs etc. and yeh if he ran it low on fluid, its toast. they normally hold 2 quarts of a GM's special oil. I don't recall the part # but thats all they reccommend. Barney
