    I’m having an issue where my truck has no power, the RPM’s randomly surge, and the truck jolts sometimes when coming to a stop. I’ve cleaned my MAF and throttle body and the throttle body motor is working perfectly. No vacuum leaks or anything. I believe it’s transmission related but I have no clue. Any help would be appreciated. 2015 4x4 with 77k.

    Have you done any trans work on this.
    Does not sound very good.

    Possible a code could be pending like alex said.
    First thing I would do is get the fluid level checked.
    You have a gear slip there.

    Went to change the fluid and filter today and this is what I found. I’ve only put 2k on the truck since I got it. We’ve come to the conclusion that the clutches for gears 4 and 5 are burnt out. I don’t want to rebuild, so I’m gonna just buy a new transmission.

    Parents don’t wanna mess around with a used one. Would rather have one that is guaranteed to not have issues
