I now have a letter to go to the dealer for updates on my 10L1000. I have been reading about people that have been having issues, yes that is why the recall is out. I hope everyone is ok after having the issues. I have been reading that people are having the SW update that tells them something is going to happen within a certain time and should go back to the dealer when this happens. They are having issues after this SW is loaded, they are having the problem that this is suppose to warn you about this right after they leave the dealer and the trans starts shifting strangely and wheel lock-ups. So I'm wondering how many of you have had yours done (SW updates) and did you have this happen? When you went in to have the update installed was your truck running fine? Was it fine after? The camping season is a month away for me and we are wondering are we going to be in the same boat as many others are in??? My truck is fine at this point, do I take the chance and do the recall or not? So my mind is going in many directions on this issue, when did all this start to happen with the wheels locking up? Why is the recall for just 2020-2022. I read/hear that all of the 10 speeds (2500hd/3500hd) are having the issue and all at different mileages. I also see many aren't having any issues at all. Then another issue comes up with me, why just diesels. I really don't want to put on the tin foil hat but is this a way to drive diesels out of the market? I love my truck, but I don't want to be afraid to drive it with my camper on the back. I can't go back to a gas truck without selling the camper. My pin weight is over the limit for any gas truck. Strange but true, none of the gas dually trucks have a pin weight over 3000. So tell me what you have done with the recall, good or bad.

my trailer is stopping me from the gas truck. Well the list of pros/cons points to diesel. Good thread!!!!

thanks for all the input, and time to reply. I guess stay put with my diesel or get a different trailer.

good info, thanks. do you have the list for the diesels? I would like to compare it. So for years most if not all have gone with the 20-25% pin rating, now its 15%??? All the manufactures that I have been in touch with still go with20-25% Even GM when I got the truck new. In fact the sent me this link. Look at page 5, SW truck pulling a cimarron horse trailer (18k+ then add in LQ) with tongue weight of 5k plus( I called the people at cimarron for the info). That's way past the specs!!! https://www.gmc.com/content/dam/gmc/na/us/english/index/about/trailering-towing/02-pdfs/GMTB20CT300_2020_GMC_Trailering Guide.pdf This is for my truck to help you get started, read page 40 Tongue or kingpin weight cannot cause the vehicle to exceed the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) or the RGAWR (Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating). My numbers for the trailer are under the above specs. trailer- 11040 with a pin of 3500 = 30% I took out all of my stuff and it went down to 10500 (3150 pin). The trailer is rated for 14k loaded. Everything I could find stated that the duallys are built with the same parts, not options. So a high country with all the same rpo codes for both gas/diesel are the same truck till you add a bigger/smaller engine. So the chassis is the same till the engine goes in. If this is the case and it is according to all sources then its about 6-8 hundred lbs different. Going by the above list how is it that 15% is the rule when I can add up to 30% and still fit in the ratings, just not the pin. Wait I still have more payload that can be added, just don't call it pin weight??????? Did I make that somewhat clear what I wanted to say? This topic has made me crazy, year to year the trucks get bigger(hp/tq) and seem to be less on towing. The pics in the manual is what really made a mess of my homework when looking into my trailer. That trailer had over 2k more in pin weight(the one in the pic, p5) as mine and is being towed by a SW hd. I want to add, I don't use my truck for a living. I also do not claim to know all that some of you reading do. I just do fact checking. Please add to this post in a positive way, thanks for the reply Another JR

My dealers around here never get a dually (gas) to look at. I have a 6.6 diesel dually that does a great job of pulling my trailer down/up the road. I don't camp as much as I would like, so I'm thinking of going gas. Issue I have is, gooseneck pin is 4660 on my current truck. I have called around to other states due to the lack of trucks here and most say that all the gas trucks have low pin weight ratings. I will not tow over my specs, will it do it---sure. The insurance company says, don't do it because we will not cover you if something happens. Is there anyone using a gas dually out there????? If there is please post some specs

I have to ask, I think I may do the same, diesel to gas that is. How do you like it for towing, power wise and fuel use? We pulled the camper around more in the past, this year we only used it 3 times. So here is my big issue with it, towing specs. It almost cuts the numbers in half for towing???? I have a gooseneck that is a bit on the heavy side but still falls into the specs of like trucks. I can't find any gas trucks with the pin weight over 2600. Can anyone post a pic of your door jam sticker????

well I got the RA pan/fluid/filter and gasket. I think that its half the cost of the dealer so why not do it myself. I have been told/read that the gasket is re-usable, may not need it but wth.

the pic that is in the link is looking down at the bottom from the outside. Here is a few other pics on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-265-587-Transmission-Compatible-Chevrolet/dp/B0D5JZDXXJ Look at the third pic down, should give a better idea on it.

I talked to my dealer and they seem to think its just a legal thing going on for GM to cover their behinds.

So for the few that have changed their trans fluid, did you put back on a pan that had a drain plug? I have been looking at PPE/banks for starters. I also found this---- https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,2020,silverado+3500,6.6l+v8+diesel+turbocharged,3444638,transmission-automatic,fluid+pan,8546 Give some feedback on the pan you put on and any notes as to the quality of the parts. I'm going to put one of these on, I'm just doing my homework on each. Banks/PPE have 3-4 qt's extra (over the factory amount) with cooling fins. RA is the same size as factory and looks like cast aluminum. Has drain plug

I don't do much towing anymore, thinking of going back to gas 3500 dually. I am running into a problem, I can't find any trucks that have a high enough pin rating??? Can any of you that have a 3500 gas dually post pics of your door jam sticker. My pin weight is 3300 on my gooseneck. I think its strange that the payload goes up for the gas trucks but the pin weight goes down. Yes the tow rating goes down as well but the numbers seem to go the other way. So my numbers (diesel/HC) payload- 5600 pin- 4660 The trucks that I can find at the dealer is (gas /HC) payload- 6100 pin- 2640 The numbers are all-over the place, like I said above I want to go back to gas but

Since I started this I will go first. 4th time into the dealer, same one they are doing what they can but its still not working The touch screen was replaced and I'm still being told its a SW issue and to call back for updates once a month.

The problem keeps getting bigger and no fix. Who is having the issue of the screen going blank/black and not coming on? Tell us if you can get it to come back, how did you get it to come back. Is the screen doing anything else wrong. Other apps not working correctly. Fill us in with all the info you have. I don't want this to turn into just a place to complain, I do want this to be a poll and info source so that we can get the issue fixed.

I try to keep up with different threads on this issue, its hard now due to the list is so big. I have had this issue since 2020 when I got the truck and see its still going on with 2022 models. I'm getting the feeling that GM isn't looking into this. I would like to know why they are still selling the truck knowing its not working? The truck doesn't seem to have any other issues. My dealer just put in a new screen and then said just keep calling back to see if there is any updates. The GM person that reads these posts has been in touch with me but they aren't doing anything. They keep saying keep in touch with my dealer for updates. I would hope that someone would wake up and fix it. We keep having more people buying trucks with this issue, when are they going to take this serious.

It would be nice if this problem would get fixed, I have had it for the life of my truck so far. Hampton Chevrolet has replaced the screen, same day I came out after shutting down and still had the problem???? It works when it wants to. Updates anyone?
