I've also noticed the tach fluctuate slightly at around 50-55mph with a change in exhaust note. It goes away when speed increases. It doesn't seem to be a real problem, but if it is, I want it fixed before the factory warranty expires. Trans fluid is level is right on and only has about 16K miles on it.

See link above... I'm guessing your issue is only below 1500 RPM. Mine did it on one trip.. right about 60-65mph.. 1300rpm. Once I got above 1500 - around 72mph.. it never did it. I would also get a shake and shutter when it happened.

 

My issue was a little more harder to pin down because I got a tune the same time it happened. Anyway.. I re-installed the tune and it never happened again. I still see the RPM bounce a little bit around 50-60mph.. but I get no shutter....so it's all good.

What if the fluctuation is at idle? Like in park? Anyone know what this is about? If i give it throttle in park it stays at that rpm until i turn my truck off. Please help..... this truck was too expensive for all this crap. Hahaha

Welcome to the site.

 

How about a little more info about your truck. Looks like you are over 100000 miles, so my guess would be your torque converter is having issues.

I am having the same issue as Broman504.

2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4X4 about 111,750 miles.

Stuck lifter so just finished rebuilding the engine.
BTR Stg1 cam; New HPFP; all new GS7 lifters; stock rockers with CHE grunion upgrade; VVT limiter; removed mechanical vacuum pump. Gibson shorty headers just cuz; Custom tune to turn off AFM plus getting the most out of the engine.

My RPN flutter happens while in dark and I move the steering wheel. A couple of times she stalled, but mostly it just settles down

May have found an easy fix for some issues of surging, growling with rpm fluctuations, battery gauge only indicating battery voltage, and NOT inducating alternator voltage of 14 vokts, etc. Worth a try. 

-Turn ignition key OFF

-disconnect battery pos. Cable from battery POST.

- Turn ignition key to just before start.

-Allow to set disconnected with key in just before start position for a minimum of 15 minutes 

- After 15 minutes, Turn ignition key to OFF

- Reconnect pos battery cable

Turn ignition key to just before start; DO NOT START VEHICLE!

I got a message to open, and then shut driver's side window. System reset itself.

No more surging, growling, etc.

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
