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.

      I love my truck but

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
