Thanks a lot crystal for your offer yes I will let you know if I need anything .yesterday I was in the dealer and one of the transmission tech go out with me for a road test and he said I think it's the valve body but am not sure keep your truck for two days if inspection . I asked him if the issuefrom the valve body how mmuch will cost me for a new one ? He said around $1800 WOOow it's very expensive !! Do you tthink guys if I buy the valve body kit from eBay will solve my problem ? Is it easy to install it ?

Dealer called me 2 hours ago and they told me I have to change the transmission main control !! Are they mean the valve body or another part ??

Did they quote you an estimate on price?

If You are at 60k miles, it should be covered under the 60k mile 5 yr power train warranty from the factory.

The dealer may blame it on the tune though

Transmission main control is it the valve body or different part ?
Can I use the valve body rebuild kit or I have to change it ?
How difficult to install that kit ?

From my invoice (Not saying your leak is originating from the same place)...

Transmission bulkhead connector sleeve seal leaking. Per TSB 14-0069, connector sleeve removed and replaced all three seals. Installed sleeve and topped off fluid.

Doubtful if it happened immediately after a fluid change, either some crap got pushed into a valve during the flush and its not moving correctly, or you trans was relying on the crud in the fluid for smooth operation.

Speaking with a friend a while back who is a service department manager at a large dealership he was saying that they see a higher transmission failure rate on transmissions that have recently been flushed vs left for ever with no fluid changes. To which I would agree as this happened to me with my Jeep maybe 1000 miles after the transmission was flushed.

I've heard this same thing from multiple people, about multiple vehicle types and have always wondered if it was accurate... So much so, I think about it EVERY time a service is recommended.
