I don't know why I cant see their post but I just left my e-mail address so they can send me a message. I'll keep everyone posted if I hear from them.

Laura M must be the equivalent of our disappearing Jennifer here on the GM forum. Lucky Chevy folks still have someone from corporate that still gives a damn about customer service. It appears GM And Jennifer have gone AWOL.

Drove to pick up my trifold soft tonneau. Smooth ride there. Installed tonneau, drove home, noticed a rear end vibration that wasn't there before. Thought about it while I looked out my review mirror and saw the wind flapping on the tonneau. Pulled over, folded the cover open and continued on my way. Vibration free. Wtf

Ugggh....and tonight my back up camera stopped working.

 

Same here. My vibration has also been changing. Now when I let off the gas, the wheel vibrates bad. I'm still waiting on an answer from my attorney. My next truck will be a Ram. GM has serious issues now and I don't want any part of this company right now.

Shudder, clunk, vibration,1-2-3-4 shift issues, and now unwanted neutral is all signs of lock up torque converter and pump issues.

I am still putting my money on this as the main culprit in this ongoing saga. The software update for the unwanted neutral is indeed for the transmission control module, by tweaking the software to demand better lock-up of the torque converter or tweaking the shift pressure to keep it in gear when engine rpm is low and torque demand is high, might be signs that the pump is loosing pressure (leaking internally) or faulty pump.

I have compiled all the info here, vibration, at 40-50mph, vibration starting around 70mph, 1-2 shift delay, vibration at idle, changing vibration with head wind and weather temp swings, and now unwanted neutral issue.

How is all this related to tires, or suspension!

Crack in pump or torque converter, or internal leaks matches these issues.

All our current transmission rely on electrical pulse to shift gears now, and pump provides the pressure to engauge and release lock up, and brakes electronically release pressure from pump when applied, some folks here also complained about transmission slow to release when braking?

GM knows the truth, and the fix is in the removal of the transmission's internal parts in my humble opinion.

I think you are right...my truck just feels like it is towing or under a load all the time with the transmission and especially in the wind.

The "shifting to neutral" recall is only for 4x4 trucks. It's the transfer case and has nothing to do with the transmission.

TCM is being updated. That is transmission control module, this is the brains for the transmission.

I don't trust what is told to the owner from GM....remember Toyota no hardware/software issue there until the dead were counted by lawyers.

I do belive this is a trans issue also. If you think about it, nobody that has had this specific issue has been successfully repaired with a tire, rear end, or drive shaft fix / replace. Mine shakes at it's worst when in cruise control, which would point to a trans pump pehaps? Or torque converter? I dont wish to be a mechanic or engineer...I simply want to drive my truck and not think about stuff like this. GM has e-mailed me back and said they're gathering more info and talking to the dealer and that I'll hear from them soon. Lets see what they'll do, I hope they can restore my faith here and get us all fixed up so we can all get some resolution and start enjoying our new trucks.

When I took my truck in for the recall on the relocation of the coolant line they also updated the TCM and the ECM. I didn't realize that was a required recall. After they did that my vibration was 10 fold worse. It was tolerable before the reprogramming. My truck has been in for 2 weeks while waiting for and now installation of my new ring and pinion. Getting close to my threshold of toleration. Remember, this is my 2nd truck. About ready to just ask for my money back and go look at Ram or Ford. Getting damn ridiculous. Edited by Chappy 1901

    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
