Bought a 2016 White Denali 3500 in October 2015 (one in the first batch) (D-MAX with Allison Trans)

 

The truck has been FLAWLESS... minor things like the right mirror LED blinkers are SO DAMN bright at night it's blinding... and my phone will not charge on the wireless charger (the light comes on and 5 seconds shuts off...

 

whatever i can live with those...

 

UNTIL this Monday after sitting in the garage for 3 days i pull it out and 2 nice large puddles under the front of the truck... i think water??? but i have not moved it, and no snow (live in Michigan) like ummm... look at it OIL? or TRANS? and yup red trans fluid... get under the truck and it's all over the front of the trans...

 

only has 3200 miles on it... and i have yet to tow my trailer with it... so i know it has not been pushed at all... i always warm up the Diesel before driving and so I have no idea.. taking to dealer tomorrow.

 

ALSO going to have them fix the BRAKE pedal recall and any recalls too... since they will have it to find the leak... (never leaked till this Monday)

 

again minus this it's been perfect...

 

 

I will post after i get back solution they came up with and performed to fix the leak.

My 2015 had a transmission leak, my paperwork says - PIE0319 Fluid Leak from Front End of Allison Transmission.

 

 

For the wireless charging, it only works on certain phones. If you have an iPhone, then you will need a certain wireless battery pack for it.

 

The mirror, can't help on that one since my windows are tinted.

Your HD truck fits in the garage? One lucky guy I'll say! Long bed?

So the Dealer called me today... apparently the Torque converter is leaking inside the trans housing. I will get the truck back tomorrow and will post all the details

they also are doing ALL and ANY RECALLS and any firmware upgrades (I asked for them all to be done)

 

truck fits in garage nooo problem. i have CREW with STD BOX and i have a SUPER DEEP 2.5 car garage..i have about 2 feet in front and 18" behind it with door closed.

 

on wireless i have a NOTE 5 that supports BOTH wireless charging standards. and like i said it starts but then after 3-5 seconds it stops... not that i care i just use a USB cable. (I'm an IT consultant) I got the tech crap nailed down... just don't know why it goes off... like i said not anything to worry about, if it works great if not don't care... i didn't buy this thing for that... just a perk... i bought it to haul my race car.

I noticed my oil pan gasket was shot and leaking around 10k miles.. Common on LMLs from what I've heard and seen.

 

Sounds like your issue was just a freak thing. as long as they cover it under warranty!

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
