Has anyone had issues with there transmissions other than me. I stopped the other night to get gas started the truck up put it in drive hit the gas to go and it was like I was in neutral. I ended up driving it home in manual mode. The next morning it was picked up and towed to the dealer they said a module in the valve body was bad. Ill have the truck back on Friday hopefully,

Only had my brand new 2017 Z71 for a little over two weeks and had the shuttering and winding problem. Makes me wish I never got rid of my 07 classic. Now that was a truck. 262000 mls and had more balls the day I traded it in than this truck. So I checked the tranny fluid and it was a quart low. Refilled it correctly with the right fluid. Checked it about ten different times at different outside and operating temps just to be sure it was at correct level and seems to be holding. No leaks that I can find. Shuttering seems to have gone away as far as I can tell. Human and machine automation error is everywhere. Didn't surprise me that the factory didn't fill it properly. Assuming it's a brand new truck with only ten miles on it you'd think you wouldn't have to worry about fluids being low. But like I mentioned already error is everywhere. If I hadn't noticed, it may have gone on too long and no doubt would've become a problem that reminisces some of the symptoms I've been reading about all afternoon on this forum. Check your fluids! The retards at the plants obviously don't care about the work they're doing. Truck design is only third year into production and there's already over 35k posts about issues just on this forum. Government Motors needs to get their act together. I never had this kind of problem with the last three brand new chevys I've bought over the past thirty years. It's like the eighties all over again.

So they added the transmission dip stick to the 2017? My 2016 doesn't have one wish it did.

Strange, my 2015 has one.

My 2014 has one. You may need to look a little closer.

So how are you supposed to check it?

Is there a sensor in the tranny?

They say the fluid level should not need to be checked, unless the transmission has been overheated or is leaking and the dealer has to check the level

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
