Hope this is the right forum!
Check engine light came on last night ('96 Z71) while driving. Kept up at 55 just fine until I had to slow to under 20...tried to accelerate and truck sorta sputtered and was only able to go 20-25 mpr (very rough). Went up and over a hill and going down, coasted until 55mpr...truck ran fine again until I had to slow down. Made another attempt at accelerating and truck wouldn't pick up...starting hearing a banging under the hood on the passenger side. Pulled over & got a tow. :frown:
Tranny fluid was lower that expected, replaced fuel filter but still hesitating on the shift. Fluid doesn't smell like the "burnt almonds" as you might smell but engine is a bit louder.
Any suggestions?
