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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
