Just wondering who all has had this addressed. I have just developed this issue over the last couple months.

 

 

 

#PI1450: Snap, Pop, Click, Tick or Clunk Noise on a Launch - (Mar 27, 2015)

Subject: Snap, Pop, Click, Tick or Clunk Noise on a Launch

 

Models: 2015 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV

2015 Chevrolet Silverado

2015 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL

Equipped with 8L90 Automatic Transmission (RPO M5U)

Built Prior to December 1, 2014

Attention: This PI also applies to any of the above models that may be Export vehicles.

Condition/Concern

Some customers may comment on a snap, pop, click, tick or clunk noise, typically on a launch after a stop.

 

This condition may be caused by clearance between C1 and C2 clutch reaction plates (steels) and the case.

 

Recommendation/Instructions

This procedure will load the plates in one direction and then the other direction to maximize the motion of the plates. The impact of the plates on the case is what results in snap or the clunk noise. The C1 and C2 clutch reaction plates (steels) were revised in transmissions built November 5, 2014 or later to prevent this noise condition.

 

Procedure to test for snap or clunk:

 

Warm the transmission to at least 40°C (104°F) sump temperature.

Place the transfer case in 2WD.

Drive the vehicle in Drive, up to about 64 km/h (40 mph).

Release throttle and bring the vehicle to a stop.

Launch the vehicle and listen for a snap or clunk.

Repeat several times to confirm the snap or clunk noise.

If this test confirms the noise, the transmission should be replaced. Refer to the latest version of PIP5200 and contact PQC for a replacement transmission.

 

Important: If the transmission is replaced, the transmission solenoid characterization reprogramming must be performed using the TIS2Web Service Programming System (SPS). Refer to Solenoid Valve Characterization Reprogramming in eSI. The Transmission Service Fast Learn Procedure must also be completed. If these procedures are not completed, shift quality may be less than optimal.

My 2015 Chevrolet 6.2 does this. It's the 2wd and not the 4wd. One dealer replaced the driveshaft and the problem still happened when I picked up the truck.I'm taking mine in Friday to a different dealer.

Yeah, it's not drive type specific, it's an issue with clearances in the 8L90

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
