Got a 4l60e issue. Any help is appreciated. I won't be able to get someone to scan the truck until Friday. I've searched a number of forums and I can't find anything exactly like I'm experiencing. The trans has a fresh rebuild with a shift kit and corvette servo installed...not sure on the brands of those. The problem I'm having is when I shift from park or reverse to OD (my truck has P,R,N,OD,3,2,1) the truck will not move. I can get the rpm's up and it will kick in gear hard and move, but I'm not sure if it's in first or jumping on to second...I've only tried that once. If I manually shift it down to first or second and without moving the truck shift immediately back to OD it will go on into first an shift thru the gears normally. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Eric

Sounds like whoever rebuilt it, needs to do it again. There is the slightest lag from park to drive and such but it shouldn't last for seconds.

Get bent twit. You don't know anything about the situation. You're just a blowhard behind a computer screen trying to fill a post quota for the day. If you don't have something constructive to contribute toward the problem then just keep scrolling.

Actually, he was a dealership drivetrain tech, and now works for the canadian govt as a tech. He knows what he is talking about. Also the name calling will not be taken lightly, consider this a light verbal warning

I never questioned his mechanical abilities. But he didn't show any in his post. So why even post?

Because you used the words "fresh rebuild" which to most of us means it was done in the past few months. So his comment is to take it back to the builder. Most decent shops will warranty their work. If it is having issues use the warranty. It is there to help you.

 

Rob is very blunt, but knows what he is talking about. He is not one to burn a bridge with since in the future he may have the answers for you in terms of diagrams or schematics

The constructive thing to do IS to return to the trans builder and let them look it over. That's your answer.

The toast pictures are completely unnecessary and if I see any more I'm giving points moderator or not.

The question has been answered several times including in my post #9. He needs to return to his builder, because his trans is major fubar

 

Feel free to do so, Sarah. If it bothers you so much to have a little humor around here

 

 

:)

 

Any further discussion on this issue should be in the mod lounge

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
