I have a 2018 2500 duramax. Live in colder climate 22 degrees today. Park on a 20degree ish angle in my driveway. Put truck in park. Rolls backwards by itself a couple feet at a time. This had happened a few different times all in the winter. Have not brought it in. Don’t have the money to pay for them to diagnose and not find anything wrong

You are supposed to set the parking brake before you put the transmission into park.  By not doing so you have damaged the parking pawl inside the transmission.  If you are setting the brake and she's rolling, the parking brakes need to be adjusted.

      Half of you don't need an AFM disabler. Take 30 seconds to find out which half you're in

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      Disclosure: BlueV8 is a Supporting Vendor and we sell AFM/DFM disablers. We wrote this because not every GM owner actually needs one. In some cases, regular maintenance, towing use, an existing tune, or simply using M5 makes another device unnecessary.   ⏱ The 10-second version 🚫 Skip it if… You keep the oil full and change it every ~5,000 miles. Your risk is already low. You're happy shifting into M5 every drive. That disables AFM for free. Your truck tows heavy most days. AFM barely runs under load. You already run a tune or delete kit. Done is done. It's already ticking or misfiring. You need a mechanic, not a plug-in. ✅ Worth it if… You bought it used and the oil history is a mystery. Checking the dipstick is… not your hobby. (No judgment.) You're a long-term keeper with lots of easy highway miles — exactly when AFM runs most. The V4 drone and shudder drive you nuts. You're under warranty, so a tune is off the table.   The full article includes the supporting GM bulletins and owner reports: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler?utm_source=gm-trucks&utm_medium=forum&utm_content=halfofyoudonotneed

      Metal shavings on dipstick and filter

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      It`s magnetic so it`s not main or rod bearings. I would pop off a valve cover or 2 and take a good look at the rocker arms. See if you can see if any needle bearings are coming apart.

      Metal shavings on dipstick and filter

      By Clay LeBlanc · Posted

      Hey yall.   I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 2wd. I just did my own oil change (currently 132,000 miles) on the truck for the first time since I got it. It has always had routine maintenance done at the correct time. Never once had a check engine light, oil pressure light, or any light (except low fuel lol). Also never towed anything ever. It has been a daily driver for me.   I noticed the dipstick has metal shavings magnetized to the end of it. And even after wiping it and putting it back in like 12 times, it still pulls some out. The oil filter also has a good amount in it.  It has always ran perfect and still does. Never ever had a weird noise or knocking or ever ran rough. Almost too perfect lol. So this metal has really surprised me. I see some similar stories where people say this is normal wear, others say your engine is cooked. I know it’s hard to say for sure without seeing in person but just wanna see if anyone has had a similar experience at this mileage or any advice?   Thank you in advance.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      Yes I did forget that part.     That said, the older ones would still get in the 170-190F range.  Not that far off from an early K2XX.

      Heat is what kills them, the redesigned cooling system and that full temperature thermostat on the side of the transmission doomed them from day 1.  The heat eventually causes the clutch material on the plate to flex which then breaks up and runs throughout the transmission.     The GMT900s when serviced regularly, often run into the 200K mile range or more.  One 6L90 in an HD3500, pulled into the shop on its own power for overhaul at 320K miles at Precision Transmission a few years ago.
