Thanks Blazin for the tips. Curious questions: First, the squeaking is only when braking, just like the typical brake squeal when coming to a stoplight, not an occasional squeak as if the pad is loose, so can you enlighten me on how putting grease on the back of the pad can help with the squeak from the contact between pad and rotor during braking? Second, I don't have the die grinder option, or sandpaper, but would taking the rotors to auto parts store and have them turned do the same thing?
Side note, back to transmission. Yesterday I did some more adjustments on the TV cable, but here comes my stupid moment.
When I bought the truck back on Dec 31st, I failed to check the transmission fluid level, and then the couple times I've been working under hood, I may have checked but never properly did it while engine was warm and running (idle). So, yesterday, I checked and my transmission was overfilled, by a lot. The "bleeping" dealership is yet again making me really mad, they, or their service shop, just threw fluid in there without checking levels. So, I sucked out about a quart or two of fluid and then went for a drive. Now, the transmission was instantly working better, but that 1-2 and 2-3 shifts are still weird. Question for yall 48RE's, how hard and quick does the shift to 2nd feel when under WOT? Can the truck bark the tires going to second with the auto? I experienced that lastnight for the first time, but didn't know if it was supposed to, or if it's a clunky shift and not right. I still suspect I'm going to need to spend my upcoming bonus on a full transmission service though, as I have a gut feeling the damage has already been done. Anyways, that is that.
