Hey guys, I have a 2007 Denali with the 6.2L engine and six speed transmission and Im having some issues. It all stated around may of last year I had the shift track sensor replaced at the dealership. Everything seemed fine but one day my dad was with me and mentioned if it always was a little slow going into reverse, I didn't notice it before having the sensor replaced, so I thought maybe the sensor was just needing to be calibrated, anyways I drove it like normal because it was shifting properly threw every other gear and it was only slow if the transmission was hot. fast forward to July and me and my buddies are about to merge onto the freeway which was up hill so I floor the gas and go well the truck doesn't it red lines and I see the check engine light come on, great. So I let the truck cool off for bit the transmission was at 100 Celsius but the engine was fine, once it cools off we drive up to the hotel and everything seems fine except its really slow going into reverse now. Anyways it was a couple days before the dealership where I was at could get it in, but the truck was driving fine so I just drove it gingerly, I did notice that the tranny was running warm though like 70-80 degrees in town but i just thought it was because it was +35 out. So the dealer ship takes a look and the codes that were thrown were from the pressure silnoid so I thought ok great, why did it go off, well heres the funny part, the dealership, in my home town, where they replaced the shift track sensor, well they over filled the transmission by 4 1/2L. 4 1/2L!!! what the shit, so the dealership where im staying does a transmission flush and put the correct levels in, says its all good. Im driving it but it still seems to be a little slow going into reverse, and sometimes it still redlines if I have it gunned at 110km/h.

 

Fast forward to now and Im starting to get worried, its still low going into reverse, but only when the transmission has reached around 50 degrees and then I notice it. The delay hasn't got any longer though, and it still does the redline and 110 km/h. So I checked fluid levels and all is good, It doesn't smell burnt and its still a nice pink. But I want to get it checked because its starting to shift funny, less smooth I should say. The truck has 150,000 km on it Im just praying that I don't need to have the transmission rebuilt because its not slipping it just doesn't feel as smooth. Is there a chance that it could just be the pressure silnoid or do I see a new transmission in my future.

sigh... I know it sounds bad and Im probably do more harm than good putting it off, but I really really don't want to have someone look at it and tell me that shits ****ed I truly don't want to hear "you need new clutches" or "needs to be rebuilt". Your right about not having to go so fast, but Im 18 and when I pass someone I really don't like to be in the other lane for that long.

also nice to see someone else from Alberta on here.

110 kilometers per hour is only 68.3508 MPH.

To Rob, that's sound barrier territory. :)

Sounds like whoever paid for your rig needs to pony up for some trans work

You don't want to hear you've got a broken transmission? Think anyone does? And it's not a

Race car so if you want to go fast I suggest you get rid if it you say "I'm 18" like it's some sort of excuse to drive like that...

Your right it absolutely isn't an excuse, and driving like that is dangerous I know. But when there's a long open peice of highway with no one on it, it's hard to resist the urge to go faster then the designated speed limit.

Run it by a trans shop and let them take a look at.

Back when I had my '07 Sierra I was thinking the same.

I thought a fluid change can fix it. It was better though. For sure.

But another 15000km down the road I spend 3.5 grands (before taxes!) for a complete rebuilt.

 

And one thing is for sure. You don't wanna hear someone say: "If you had brought the truck in earlier we might would have been able to fix it with a change of some clutches or bushings..."

 

so long

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      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!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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 ?.
