*** EDIT 5/8 - Please note that this issue started out as a misdiagnosis of Transmission issues - and now I"m thinking it is Fuel Pump issues.****
***EDIT 5/10 - Removed from 911 thread, no longer 911
Well, after my excursion in the mountains this weekend, I get in my truck to drive to work (about an hour after getting home from mountainous drive where I used cruise control.. Hope this wasn't the main cause of the problem) get halfway down the road, and I noticed that the truck stuttered while at about 20 mph maybe 1st or between 1st / 2nd gear- Then the orange Transmission light came on.
I cautiously popped it into reverse, and rolled right back up into my driveway (same noticeable jittery/stuttering- almost like the truck was starving for gas -
Earlier this weekend, and a few times before, I've had it stall when putting it into Drive over and over - only to fix itself after a 2-3 minute engine-off, and restart. The last time this happened was Sunday driving up a ramp in a parking garage - it just stalled.. 5 minutes later, no issues it seemed and it started right up. I don't think it's related, but heck if I know!
I'm at work now - didn't really have any time at all to attempt diagnosis, and I know this isn't enough information, just thought I'd get a posting up here asap. I'll likely begin with a simple fluid check/top off- maybe bust out with an all out pulling of the pan, fluid/gasket/filter replacement..
Any thoughts?
