Hey Everyone,


Just replaced my 2004 2500 HD (with about 300,000 miles) with a new 2015. Trany felt funny all along but assumed it was just "learning" like they said it would. I now have about 1,500 miles on it. In the past 2 days it has been slipping, running much hotter than normal, chattering right after a shift, totally slipped out of gear while driving, got stuck in 2nd gear a few times, wouldn't go into reverse, etc. Its now back at the dealer. Any one having similar issues with these yet? I do not beat on it and fluid level is good.

For the first two weeks I never saw it higher than 160. While taking it to dealer to have them look at it, I made it to 234. Thats when it totally slipped out of gear. I pulled over ant let it cool down then contnued to dealer. Those are trans fluid temps.

Dealer called today just before closing and said control valve failed. Tracked one down and should have it tomorrow. Thats all I got for now. Will post more details when I get them.

The Latest....Mechanic dug a little deeper and found metal shavings in tranny. Now looking at rebuild or replace. I'm leaning toward this not being a problem everyone will have. Probably something done wrong in the factory or maybe some idiot took it for one hell of a test drive before I got it. Dealer is cool. It just sucks going from the 2500 with a service body and pipe racks to a mini van. Very limited on what work I could do this week. should have it back in another day or to and will update again.

Not any problems with 2500 hd Sierra with 6.0, 4.10, CC Z71 , 6 SP. Guess there is always one that gives problems.

Glad warranty covers it.

 

Thank you

For "therink", Its a gas job. Got it back last night. Feels like a totally different truck. From what they told me, Tork converter "shit the bed." Found metal shavings, dust and other stuff everywhere. It has been rebuilt completely, the only thing original is the housing. I have a mile long list of parts that were replaced. They guaranteed me I will never be back there with a transmission problem. I hope It all works out. They were going to replace the transmission but had trouble getting one there fast so they rebuilt it. Clearly not something everyone needs to worry about, just one bad one in the bunch. Thank you all for your posts and info. I will update as time goes on.

Last weekend I took my 2015 2500HD on a vacation. Maybe 10 hours into the trip overdrive quit working and the engine light came on. Already depressing gas mileage got even worse as rpm was higher than normal. The last 1/4 mile of the trip it never shifted out of 1st gear! Called the closest dealer (45 minutes away) on Monday morning. Took it in Tuesday morning. engine light had gone out and trans seemed normal. Wasted most of a day waiting for them to verify that there was a problem and get me a rental. I wasted yesterday because they said it would be ready and it wasn't. I just picked it up this afternoon(another day half shot). We leave tomorrow to go home. :( Here is what they found.

 

Black clutches in the pan. Lucky I made it.

Converter and pump cover shot.

They replaced clutches, plates, gaskets, seals and pump cover with new parts.

replaced converter with a reman. Not to happy about that. This truck has 2300 miles on it and now has a rebuilt trans and a reman converter. I work for GM so you can bet they will hear about it.

 

Hope I make it home. I'll probably worry the whole way.

Service torque converters for just about all GM transmissions are reman from GM. No service new converters listed in the parts catalog You work for them, you should know that... :smoker:

Why should I know that? I didn't say that I work in a dealership. In 34 years as a toolmaker in an assembly plant I have never seen a parts book.

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.

      You might find the drive cycle you need somewhere on charm.li (website), otherwise I suggest a subscription to alldata.com to get them for your truck.
