This is nothing new and has been mentioned multiple times in this thread.  Works for some but not for others.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

(P/N 23469809 – Qty 2) Note free under warranty read bulletin

 

Also you can read the Bulletin Helps understand where GM thinks the issues are. There are other bulletins for trans,converter, program(8speed) and also a rear shock recall.

Should apply for 17 also. It was just dated at the time for those years. Same body truck. Honestly print the bulletin and walk it in. They like to act like you the customer doesn't know. But parts are free and so is service so screw them make them fix it. Also depending on your issue there is a bulletin for undercoating spray above trans.

Yes as I stated there are other ways to fix depending on truck options and trims. The worst seems to be the 8speeds. Also the 2 degree can be too much. Then there is a bulletin for that, so I got that part coming also. 72190e5e1ca0509200f1238c8116d3b7.jpge17cf6260d4b152a5887a7f08256bbc8.jpg18aa24f8e3e7cb8e6e4ffb525d419753.jpg

I traded off my 2 2014's and bought a Raptor and King Ranch back in April.

Yup....got sick of the shitty 8 speed,highway vibes,and multiple lifter n pushrod failures....dumped the POS and went back to Ford.

When a dealership shop admits the tranny wasn't right but Chev wouldn't touch it was the final straw....

GM can kiss my ass

Lots of folks believe the  pushrod/cam in block engine  is obsolete technology as compared to the DOHC engine.  Actually, both designs date back to the turn of the 20th century.  And, there are pros and cons for each.  The pros for the pushrod is it’s lighter (exempting the true hemi elephant) and has a lower center of gravity, generally creates more torque (push) due to a slower burn rate.  Pros for dohc is faster burn rate, more high rpm hp, no valve float to speak of, great for racing.  So, the debate about which concept is better depends on usage and preference.  Personally, for truck use I prefer the naturally aspirated pushroad.  Just my two bits ?...

I think the development of 10 spd tranny was a joint Ford/GM collaborative endeavor.  So, presumably it should function about the same for both.  Perhaps, some programming differences such as shift points, etc.  just guessing though...

So traded my '14 double cab. Decided to stick it out with GM and got an '18 Silverado Crew Cab regular bed. So the 153 wheelbase. 5.3 Z71 6 speed 3.42... Well it doesn't vibe much on the highway but a bit of a shudder on acceleration and deceleration. Having played the shim game on my last truck,  I rolled my eyes and looked underneath. I guess they are rolling them out with shims in them now. I was perfectly smooth till the 500 mile mark. I don't highway much. Prolly have them taken out. Funny part is, in Maine, when you buy a new Chevy, you get lemon law paperwork with your packet and owners manual. Once it's your fault. Twice it's mine...

There are shims in between the leaf springs to change the angle between the drive shaft and rear axle assembly.

Ohhh.... I guess I missed a few pages.

Is that affected when guys level / lift trucks?

Obviously the shake is there from the factory on some of these trucks (my 2014 included) so ...

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
