Subject: Mileage and trans lock up shutter?
IP: Logged

Message:
I got a new 2002 QC, 4WD, 4.7l V8, Multi Speed Auto trans. tow package

What kind of Mileage are others getting ?
I am getting 12 mpg local and 16.5 highway (70-75mph).

When does the mileage peak, I have 2k miles on it ???

Has anyone else experienced tran lock up shutter at around 40-45 mph ? Dealer tells me it is common and there are no TSBs on it.

thanks
Gary

I have a 2002 CC part time 4x4 4.7L w/3.92's,
had it since Dec. and now have a little over 6,800 miles on it. 90 % of my driving is on the freeway and I average about 14-15 mpg.

About the trans shutter, mine does it too (most of the time)

I have a 5 yr 60,000 bumper-bumper and of corse the 7yr 100,000 mile drive-train warranty so I'll worry about it later if she breaks
