I have just over 5k on my truck and I have been to the dealership over and opened a case with GM (that I have not had time to follow through with). I do not have the problem going down hill but I will tell you what I am experiencing. Maybe, its the same thing or at least try it out because if it is and you can replicate the noise if and when you decide to take it to the dealer. WHILE ACCELERATING (Above 25-30 and below 60) in whatever gear the truck is in RIGHT BEFORE it is going to shift I can let completely off the gas and when it downshift it makes a clunking sound. For example, while accelerating (normal acceleration or light acceleration) in town I let off the gas because the car in front of me is slowing down, stopping or whatever and I just have to let off the gas, it clunks downshifting. does not seen to do it in 1st or 2nd.
