  1. Yes been done several times. You need to head over to the Facebook group Gen V LTx 14-18 GM Trucks SUV L83 L86 LT1 and look for a post by Sean Hamilton from Feb 1st. Basically he makes a kit, harness, tcm, ecm and tune. You need the doner trans and transfer case as they are different from the 6 and 8 speed trucks.
  2. Do a search for delayed engagement, your torque converter is draining the fluid back to the transmission oil pan and the delay is the pump trying to fill it back up after startup. On the 8 speeds GM had added a check ball on the stator shaft support, not sure on the 6 speeds what the fix it for that. My truck with the 8 speed still does it off and on, but never when I take it in for repair so GM won't replace the stator shaft support go figure!!
  3. You are experiencing the torque converter shudder, pretty common apparently, my 16 has or had it and the only fix they will do is change the fluid in the trans once and that is it for now. For me I felt like I was running over rumble strips when I lightly accelerated. Mine hasn't come back as of now. Apparently there is a more permanent fix coming first quarter 2019.
  4. Well so far all my dealership did was change the transmission fluid and filter. So far it shifts smoother and I haven't noticed the shudder yet, but I only drive it at most 5 miles per day now so I will try to drive it longer to see if it is fixed or not.
  5. Same here, my 2016 just go the shudder last week, going in today for the shudder. Of course my dealer acted like they never heard of it before, go figure. I have been fighting them on the delayed engagement when I go into reverse after the truck sits overnight or 2, sometimes it slips backing out and I have to rev the engine a little bit to get it to move, other times it flat out wouldn't move at all, acted like it was in neutral. I had to shut it off and restart it to get it to move again.
  6. In my case yes it is definitely software. My 2016 6.2 8-speed had harsh shifting, for example when you slow down for the person in front of you to turn off the road onto a side street and you slow to about 10-15 mph and accelerate once they make the turn you get a rather bad harsh shift that resembles being lightly rear ended. I took it to the dealer in Feb of 2017 and they updated the transmission software along with the engine software, this helped with the harsh shifting. However I now feel the chugging and hesitation with throttle tip in at a stop sign or stop light almost all of the time now. It NEVER did this at all prior to the software update. It is going in tomorrow for this issue as well as the truck at times does not move in reverse at first start up at times, it acts like it is in neutral I rev it up and nothing, other times it bangs into gear that results in me squealing the tires while backing out of my garage. SO I will update if I get anything different done to my truck or if they fix it, which from your responses I highly doubt anything will help.
  7. I had the update done a few months ago and the truck is completely horrible!! I have the 16 6.2 with the 8 speed. My last issue is when at a stoplight making a right hand turn on red trying to pull out in front of heavy traffic in a tight window with around 1/3 throttle the truck just sits there and lugs and chugs like the PCM is applying an aggressive amount torque management. I then have to floor it to get the damn truck moving with me being in the middle of merging into the lane and traffic is now on top of me. I would have rather had the rough shifting over this issue.
  8. My 2016 Silverado does this also so your not alone here.
  9. This is for 2016's and newer only. 2015's and older do not have the required hardware to do this. You have to purchase the required hardware aftermarket from other suppliers (GM-Navigation.com, or MVI here on the forums) and then it will be flashed with the proper software then you can have your Android Auto. Expect to pay around 1200.00 or so to do this.
  10. I guess it could be S7 only as I don't have any other phone to test it out on, but just seems ridiculous to me that you have to reopen up the phone every time to set that, yeah I see it under developer options but my S7 doesn't allow you to switch it you select it but it stays on usb charging, I gave up on it for now and will have to live with opening up my phone to select MTP.
  11. Yes it is but it really would be nice to set it as the default option every time you plug it in so you don't have to open it back up every single time to take it from charge only to MTP, Google dropped the ball big time on that one in my opinion.
  12. And how difficult the truck wants to be!! HAHA!! At least that is what I was told at my dealer when I asked how long it took, they said anywhere between 1/2 hour to 2 hours and how difficult it wants to be. I did the paperwork on my truck on Feb 29th and picked it up on March 9th and it was not applied, I had to take it back in to get the update.
  13. But he has a 2014 which has the 6 speed transmission, but yes either way GM should stand behind it without any issues.
  14. My main key fob to my old 2014 looked similar it actually looked like a layer of the rubber was coming off, no abuse was ever given to it like grinding it on pavement or throwing it, just normal lock and unlock and remote starts and then back into my pocket for the day or night, never washed or anything, I also do not use my finger nails either, I keep them trimmed pretty close. Just slowly wore off.
