Muhs hope your issue gets resolved. I have no doubt it's the torque converter that is causing the shudder you feel. It happens under light throttle application between 1400-1600 rpms or so. My issue was finally resolved but took both a new converter and after a change to synthetic fluid per a TSB that came out later.

 

Thanks! I hope I do get it resolved. As a show of how much i like the rest of the truck i ordered two sets of Bilstein 5100's this afternoon

I think my torque converter one of my issues as well. Doesn't matter what you think. If they "can't find anything wrong" with it then NOTHING is going to get repaired

Just got a call from the service adviser and they said that they were checking to see if there is another 8 digit software update code and the truck only gives them the option to enter one digit of the 8 digit code... so now they need to pass this up to GM tech or whatever. are they idiots? am i an idiot? am i crazy? her words were we want to make sure that its not the TC shudder and check and see if there is a problem with the engine control module and the transmission control module not communicating before we give it back to you. did they just "brick" my truck? this is almost funny its pissing me off so much. oh and i forgot to mention ive had problems with this truck from within the first 3 months. after roughly 3 months of ownership it had to go into the shop 4 times for blowing fuel injectors, first the shop (in wisconsin) tried to blame me using non top tier gas. i told them to go shove it. after going in for the same problem of lunching fuel injectors 3 more times they replaced the ENTIRE fuel system which seemed to have fixed that specific problem. i was within a week of lemon lawwing the vehicle. :bs:

Sounds like it's FERD TIME brotha! Once you go FERD you never go back!

haha well ya never know... i just went out and bought 4 bilstein 5100's so this thing had better get fixed!

Hope so! You will have no problem unloading the 5100' on this site......Let us know and good luck!

Thanks! I am expecting a call from them sometime this morning. I won't hold my breath... Trouble is I work in Ft. Myers and my truck is at the dealership in naples where I live so it makes it tough to go down there and really raise he11 because i have to be at work...

I hadn't looked at this topic in a long time.

When I bought my 2015 6.2 8A it had a huge 2-1 downshift bang.

It had about 2k miles when I brought it to the dealer and they did some GMC software updates and the problem was resolved.

I now have a little over 17k miles and had forgotten I had even had that problem!

Hopefully those that continue to have 8A problems are able to get a dealer that stays updated and is able to resolve the problems.

I think that this is a great truck!

If they replace the TC do they also replace this Stator Shaft that others have talked about? Seems like that is also a problem?

just got a call from the SA. said they did some sort of adaptive relearn for the tranny and that there was some incorrect software loaded into the transfer case. correct me if im wrong but the transfer case is only utilized to engage 4 wheel drive... we shall see if this works and if it doesnt ive already spoken with another dealership who is very familiar with the issues surrounding the torque converter. i will keep everybody updated.

Mine was totally solved with the software update -no parts were replaced.

hopefully the 3rd software update is the charm! But I'm not holding my breath...

Nothing is going to fix the shudder issue but a torque converter! I would have lost it on the dealership if I was you. It's simple, the bulletin explains it very clearly, many converters have been replaced due to this problem and I have yet to hear that it didn't fix the shudder. My dealership was doing 3 others the same week they replaced mine. It's not rocket science. Replace converter... Problem solved. They sound like a bunch of loons. I would definitely take it to another dealership.

update: seems to drive ok but i swear i still feel like its slipping a little bit at steady state throttle and i feel that the only people who know what I'm talking about are those who have experienced it. Ill give it a few days and report back. the downshifting coming to a stop is way better but I'm not sure if thats because the truck is back in its learn mode... any help here guys?

What exactly is this "shudder" that everyone is talking about? Is it during shift points or is it while in any gear during acceleration? Also this vibration that iim hearing about in some. Is it a real noticeable vibration that feels like a tire balance issue or worse?

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
