Believe the truck is having problems shifting from low second to drive. Gas mileage has went way down and vehicle isn't making any unusual noises or whines. Was working fine about a week ago, then pulled on an 8000 pound cardboard baler to scoot it around at a 90 degree angle while it was lying down. The truck moved it, no problems until afterwards. Changed the tranny filter and fluid, help a little, not much. No fuel leaks anywhere, no sensor problems, etc. Thinking it is the shift solenoid. Any suggestions????? zmame Veteran / Moderator Dec 9, 2011, 4:14 PM Post #2 of 4 (1456 views) Re: Vehicle eating fuel Sign In I assume it's a auto trans? What RPM does the vechical rev at 65 MPH? Have you mesured actual fuel miliage? Is check engine light on? is OD off light on/flashing? heyyou2@mchsi.com New User Dec 10, 2011, 1:11 AM Post #3 of 4 (1447 views) Re: Vehicle eating fuel Sign In Yes, auto trans; at 65mph revs to 4500 when not in drive; usually runs no more than 3000; actual fuel mileage around 10 mpg; check engine light not on; the overdrive on/off comes on occassionally, but not constant. zmame Veteran / Moderator Dec 10, 2011, 7:23 AM Post #4 of 4 (1436 views) Re: Vehicle eating fuel Sign In You will need to get a scanner on it when the OD light is on and go from there. Might be valve body issue or electrical issue in the transmission. The code it throws will help point you in the right direction.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
