I noticed that for the past couple of days I can hear and slightly feel a clunk towards the rear when I come to a stop. I am thinking it might be the splined shaft on the drive shaft need lube....any thoughts?

Man, I had this happening to me recently. I was really worried. Turns out I didn't shut the tailgate hard enough... I had lightly pushed it until it clicked, and apparently that wasn't sufficient. Anyway, I shut it as I would the truck door and viola, clunk be gone. Hope this helps and it's not something worse!

I had something similar during the first few hundred miles, I believe it was just the transmission learning the downshifts

Thanks, it's going in for service in a few days so I will bring it up to the service writer for what that is worth..

Try holding down the town/haul button for 5 seconds and then release. It should read in the DIC "grade braking disabled". That should make the trans shift smoother in certain situations and may fix what you're experiencing.

My 2015 Denali 6.2 A8 did this at about 1,200 miles. It actually got pretty loud just as it downshifted 2nd to 1st. The dealer did a recall/ reprogram and it has about 9,000 miles on it now and has never had the problem again.

This is happening to me and the dealer has no clue what it is and is instructing me to pick up my truck. Because they don't want to charge me for finding it.

I have had 2 2015's, 1 sierra double cab SLT and the other is a regular cab LT. I noticed that is driving at a smooth constant speed like 60-70 kms per hour and you remove your foot of the gas pedal the truck will have a small clunk from the rear end. The issue is that the truck is in V4 mode. try to put your truck in manual and hit the up button on your gear selector until the truck says 6 on the dash. now drive normally and you will find that the truck does not go into V4 anymore and the clunk from the rear will disappear completely. I drive in town with my truck in manual 6 all the time. The truck responds better and shifts smoother with no V4 mode. On the hiway I drive in automatic and let V4 work again for more fuel economy.

 

Hope this helps

Thank you! This was my issue. I created another post about it. Turned off grade control and now it's not giving me harsh 3-2 and 2-1 downshifts.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
