making a few additions to the thread. Shipping the truck from OKC to Amarillo was more than I expected, but there is a work-around. AAA Premier Membership! 200 mile one way free tow! So I had to cover the final 50 miles to get the truck to Precision Final bill to have it towed to their shop.... just under $250 After delivery confirmed from AAA driver, I called the shop and paid the deposit. This was to remove and inspect transmission. Was called on a Wednesday afternoon that the truck was ready. All excited, I let the woman know I would make arrangements that coming Saturday, or the next to pay and collect. Shortly after, the video of the tear down was made available on youtube. I tried calling their shop multiple times on Thursday and Friday but was never able to speak to them. no answer each time. Saturday morning!!! The alarm goes off. I decided to ride my motorcycle and brave the cold. 34 degrees at 6:20am when leaving the house. Google says 3.5 hour drive time to get to the shop. I made it just over 1 hour before my face began to freeze. With the stops for fuel, and a couple to regain feeling in my face and toes, I pulled up to the shop in Amarillo. It's now 11:48am PANIC! The shop is closed, the gates are locked, and I'm 30 ft away from my truck. Made a few calls and a post on facebook... less than 20 minutes later Richard calls me! He arrives and we end of talking for a while and he shows me the "dirty bird" and I pay the remainder, along when getting the info on a pan drop/ transmission fluid change at 3K miles. Drive the truck back home, and pull into the driveway just after 6pm. Long day and took a bit to warm up, but have driven the truck some and happy that it feels like it should. Big thanks to Precision for taking on the problem. Hope to have at least another 100k miles without problem!

Picked up the truck today! HAPPY!

talked with Precision Transmission in Amarillo today. arranging shipping and will be sending the truck to them.

quote to tow the truck from Oklahoma City to Amarillo Texas.... $1,600 i've had cars shipped 1/2 across the country for less!

Warmed up enough for me to check the dipstick and make a quick video popped the hood and checked the transmission fluid first. results are the attached image. after checking, started the truck but didnt have my phone to record video. sounded bad for the first 1.5 seconds when i first started the truck. When shifting from P or N to R or D it sounds similar to the stress of a power steering pump at max turn for the first second. *happens later in the video when i shift a few times* https://photos.app.goo.gl/4pAFEWfw2VTajshH6 The attached image if the dipstick from the transmission BLUE = first pulling the dipstick after truck was left for almost 1 week. This was after the 100+ mile drive GREEN = Second pull of the dip stick No noticeable metallic, even when looking at the dipstick after pulling. I'm guessing the Precision transmission you mentioned above is the one from Amarillo, Tx. Tried calling a few times today, Saturday morning, but havent been able to get them on the phone. Would be a bit of a trip from Oklahoma City. So here are my concerns. - If I have a local GM dealer or transmission shop swap it out for a replacement transmission, I'm looking at 100,000 hopeful carefree miles. most are 3 year warranty on a replacement transmission. *some 6 year warranty - If I swap it out, going to have to have several uninterrupted hours to do the work. *i'm more likely to win the lotto - have a local shop rebuild, and loads of risk, as likely no warranty. My use and intentions with the truck include - sit most of the time. i have my commuter fart - around 10,000 miles per year *used for weekend trips / hauling things - dependable - responds and drives like OEM. dont want a stall that is some high RPM. Local GM dealer has trucks with the same transmission issue waiting for replacement. service writer has stated +80% that install a new torque converter and flush the system, after having an issue, are back soon with more problems. Recommends to replace transmission. starting to question replacing the parts and hope that no other issues arise.

2500 torque converter added to parts list still looking to update the regulator parts. *list will be updated later O ring added to parts list, but not sure i have the correct part number unknown yet. havent checked the dip stick. havent pulled transmission. 2WD

Warranty time expired in November. Still good on mileage, but either doesnt matter due to the 5 years being over. 2016 Sierra 2wd "Shudder" started on the trip home from the last drive. Going to document a few things and list parts replaced, part numbers and photos. Will do the work myself at home. Torque Converter Part Number : GM (17804388) O-Ring for Torque Converter Snout Part Number: SO-23-28, GM-O-9V ???? not sure if correct part number Transmission Filter Part Number : GM (24274402) Transmission Pan Gasket Par Number : GM (24260071) Amsoil ATF Part Number : ATLQT-EA *approx. 10 quarts Transmission Thermostat Kit Part Number : STP-STL010 gasket for the transmission oil cooler braket ? *looking into this part now Part Number : Exhaust gaskets *3 bolt from header to mid pipe X2 Part Number : Transmission rear seal *for driveshaft Part Number : That covers the parts list of items that I know will be required. Updates to the list will happen if I find other MUST DO changes or replacements. Since the problem started yesterday, driving home for the final 100 miles of the trip, I've parked the truck, and sprayed down bolts with PB Blaster. Snow called for this week, so it's time to decide part sources, and get things ordered. Updates to come later!

cables delivered yesterday! identified the parts from page one of this thread. 19303285 19119050 I drove a couple of times with the console in, and have a few changes. 1. I have a bit of left over "dynamat" material and will be adding some to the inside *below* the center console. will take photos. warm sunday should work!

Hello Frankie, Was watching the video while removing the seat and putting the console in place. I had purchased a console over the summer and finally ordered the harness a few weeks back, all after viewing the thread and video last spring. my mind had skipped over the need for the additional cable order to bring everything active. identified the parts from page one of this thread. 19303285 19119050 both are needed for what i have. ordered with gmpartdirect and plan on getting to them this week. TY

can someone offer suggestions? I purchased the harness and installed what I have. Truck is a 2016 Sierra. Console in a 2016 or newer. *has usb IN and usb OUT above the power connection when connecting things. from the image on page 1, i need to know what USB Cables I need. 19303285 19119050 19303284 I want all the USB Connections to work. Hoping i only need to take things apart 1 more time. TIA

I had manually set the time and then clicked for it to sync over cell network. No option for time zone. I had turned the truck back on and connected the phone again and it's once again working. Thank you all for your help! The following includes what steps were required for mine to connect and work again1. Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes 2. Remove the connection to my phone 3. Connect via Bluetooth 4. Set time and date, then select to sync automatically 5. Wait 10 minutes while the redio plays and the Bluetooth is on. 6. Turn truck off and on again. 7 connected successfully via USB and android auto Wheeeewww

Not sure. Truck purchased used a few months ago. Will look for a sticker atop the battery in a bit. Might just disconnect it and leave it overnight.

I am disconnected the battery and left it disconnected for 30 minutes before trying this again. And result is the same I'm still not able to connect my phone to Android auto and the truck and getting a error screenshot included. I've tried three different cables.

I'm 12 hours from home with the family on vacation. 2016 Sierra SLE and up until this trip everything has worked correctly with connection to my phone. Now I get a "Communication error 8" when I try plugging my phone in after a brief disconnect of the battery. Bluetooth showed as available for just a moment and now I can't get it to connect. I checked with the GMC dealership where I'm at and their response was to buy a new stereo or a new truck. How can I reset or get the radio to work with my phone again?
