Anyone had their transmission replaced under GM Program# 2044120? Talked to dealer about this today and GM is not replacing parts but the whole transmission. I set up an appointment and asked if mine really needed it as it seems to not have any issues. Of course they said I should and would take a couple of days. Suppose to drop off Monday morning.

did you receive a recall notice or take the truck in for service under warranty?

This is nothing new, been policy since the 8-sp was introduced. Dealers are not to open them up for repairs.

I have a 2015 denali w. the 8 speed and it has already had a new torque converter. Now i still have the delayed engagement upon start up. They issued this #16-NA-014, which states they will install a new stator shaft?? This is the issue I have now. I wasn't' crazy about them opening my trans. Are you sure and saying they will not open it up just replace it???? Is there a TSB or something written.

 

Thanks

They sure do... just had the stator tsb done and they took it all apart and put it back together again. I even have the work order to prove it lol.

The transmission is currently on exchange through the GM Product Quality Center (PQC). No transmission repairs, internal or external, are allowed at this time. If diagnosis has determined the need for any repair to the transmission, contact the PQC to discuss the information/diagnostics that led to the need to repair the transmission assembly before performing any repairs.

That's nice... also totally out of date and completely irrelevant.... research the stator tsb... yes dealers dismantle the transmission.. end of story.

Nothing in the mail. Checked for recall with my Chevrolet app and popped up. GM program #2044120 date issued Jun 21,2016.

Program title: Cracked 2-3-4-6-8 Clutch Piston

 

Program description: Certain 2016 model year Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Silverado LD and GMC Sierra LD vehicles, equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, may have a condition in which the 2-3-4-6-8 Clutch Piston is out of specification. Parts exhibited a crack condition as cast after machining. As a result the vehicle could exhibit 1-2 up shift slipping ot a flaring condition.

 

Safety Risk Description: The Vehicle could exhibit 1-2 up shift slipping or a flaring condition.

 

Repair Description: Replace the transmission.

 

This is all I have information wise. Dealer confirmed I would get a entirely brand new transmission. I'll keep you all posted.

Is there anyway we can confirm that we are eligible for this recall of the transmission?

I still have the delayed engagement when I start my vehicle and put from park to drive.

    • Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.
    • Saturday 87 was 2.98 at the local meijer when I filled up my car with 93.
    • I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.  
    • That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)
    • Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
