Re: A tough one....
BTW, no one has mentioned a head gasket. You could get mixing of the fluids there and underload the truck would certainly run poorly.
Re: A tough one....
Why would your truck do this twice? What causes this to happen?
If it has tires or testicles, you're going to have trouble with it

Well I don't know what causes it but there is a wall in the radiator that separates the coolant from the tranny fluid. They are both cooled in the same unit (when stock). That wall can rupture and apparently does more so with the H2.
I've had it happen twice now and I've seen it a couple times here. As Phil says GM has 1800 reported cases.
I talked to the dealer again after they got my truck. They are looking into plugging off the radiator section of the tranny cooler and running a separate one so this can't happen again. They did say it CAN be done.
As a side note - I watch my gauges when I wheel. Nothing ever got overly hot and the rig gave me no warning until it started acting up.

A mixing of tranny fluid and coolant from a head gasket? Oil maybe.
I am curious why it was running badly though. It sure didn't feel like a tranny issue unless something was binding maybe.
Thanks Ken (and everyone) for the well wishes with wife. Still no real change. Tests that take longer to process should be done tomorrow at noon. Hope to know more then. She did have an otter pop awhile ago though. Thats a good thing right?
