I agree with f8i, the low speed driving is clunky to say the least, very undecided on which gear it should be in when clearly it should be in 1st but seems to go from 1st to 2nd and back and fourth like a tennis match at times. What's weird is most times it drives perfect. No where near as bad as some make it out to be though, but I'm a 20+ year gm truck owner and driver, the clunk is not the trans it's the slip yoke imo and every gm truck I have had has done it from my 89 s10 Baja to my new sierra a/t so I'm use to it and it really doesn't effect me much and truthfully only does it on occasion.

 

Overall I'm happy so far 3 months in with my purchase low speed trans shifting issues and all, best thing you can do is take a 15 for a test drive or better yet maybe a dealer will let you take one home for the night to make sure you will like it.

ok well this sucks! wife and i spent last 3hrs at dealer trying to get a deal done. we wanted to order a truck and all they wanted to was give all the incentives with nothing else. basically was only $1300-$1500 away from pulling this off. told me that they "wouldn't be making any money, losing money ". so back to the drawing board. just so heartbroken because we really want this truck.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
