Transmission kinda bogs down when accelerating in 1st gear?
I have a 93 Z71 with 254,000 miles. I bought the truck back in March. When I first bought it, I didnt notice any hesitation when taking off. But for the past two months ive been experiencing this "hesitation" or "bogging down" when accelerating from a stop light. Its just a quick second hesitation. Is my trans due for a rebuilt soon or could it be something else?
From the looks of things, it doesnt look like too much was done to the truck. I cannot spot out any thing that is aftermarket. When I first bought the truck, the AC compressor was rattling and seized up and then the water pump seals discinigrated into nothing and was pouring coolant all over. The E brake was broke and the rear drum brakes had no adjusters so I installed them. The thermostat was shot and I replaced that. I even had to replace all the turn signals and parking lights cuz they burned out at the same time cuz they were old. I have an oil leak and I believe its coming from the rear main seal. The exhaust is rusted to hell and back but the truck still manages to sound awesome and drives good other than this little bog. The front rotors were warped. I paid 1200 for the truck. And the 4 wheel drive still works good. There are newer O2 sensors and new alternator... power steering pump looks like its a newer one. newer tires too. It sucks because I have no job right now and I hope to keep the truck as a little project and fix it up. Its still a strong running truck.
The previous owner used it as a work truck and it has the usual michigan rust on the cab corners and fenders.
