The same as when the torque converter went out, RPM's began to surge with no change in speed. Tranny temp remained normal, no codes, but you could feel the driveline problem when under load. It was very subtle at first, but I'm always on the lookout for slight changes in a vehicles operation arising from my aviation background. It showed up while driving on a 4 hour trip, and was not consistently there, and took it in when I got home. Acted up on the way to the dealership.

Purchased new 2014 Sierra All Terrain with tow package, and now getting transmission replaced at 130,000 miles. Torque converter was replaced under warranty at 76,000 miles. Trans fluids changed @ every 35,000 miles. I tow a few times a month, but trailer with ATV's usually about 2,500 lbs, occasionally I use the larger/heavier trailer (3,300 lbs empty) for a total of @ 5,500 probably 3x a year. Most towing is 100 miles each way to my cabin. I did tow a CJ7 on the heavy trailer back from Texas to Ohio last year. My YukonX (2500 series) with the 6.2 that I replaced had 192,000 miles, and towed a lot more with it, to include a few times towing a trackhoe for total load of 8,750lbs. Never had a transmission problem. So, not happy... Should have known, as my neighbor had a 2015 Silverado, almost entirely highway miles, and had to replace tranny at 142,000. He puts @ 50,000 miles on per year, so when that happened, I started to worry and my truck made it another year, then transmission tanked...

My dealer installed the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite at the time of purchase. They also installed the bedrug with GM logo, and it came with the GM rubber bed matt that now sits on top of the bedrug. I've had the truck since November, and it has done great with heavy rains, car washes, snow, sub zero weather, etc. I looked hard at bak flip folding covers and the retractable ones. Didn't think the restartable ones would do well in snow and freezing weather. Wasn't sure how easy they would be to take out when I need the entire bed. Mine easily comes out in just a few minutes. The fact you could open a "locked" bak flip with a coat hanger (video on Fold-A-Cover's site) helped seal the deal. I've had a little water inside, but a shot glass full near the tailgate 2 or 3 times, was honestly expecting more. So, very happy with my purchase, love the looks.
