LOL really dude. I dont think people on this board spent 60 grand to drive a truck that shifts like a farm tractor. ohh not to mention the people that spent upwards of 100 k on Escalades that also shift like crap.

Yes really LOL. Give it time to get it chocolate together it works out to be a pretty fine transmission nice hard break in period seemed to help it along pretty well. Must not drove to many tractors because some of those shift so bad i thought it was a transformer =p

I have a Beautiful Ocean Blue 2017 XLT, Chromed Extra, 6.2 that does the same rough change 1 to 2 at slow speeds.  I have also noticed in high speed HWY passing it takes off like a jet and drops speed in high speed gear changes.  Love the truck but it does get funky changing gears at high and low speeds.  ROUGH shifts do not occur often 95% of the time it shifts Great!   I am VERY PLEASED with the gas mileage the truck gets!   I did drove a Corvette until my neck got so messed up it hurt to get in and out of.  I changed to a truck to help my neck issues.   I have found this truck with it’s FAST 6.2 engine more FUN TO DRIVE THAN MY VETTE!    I LOVE This TRUCK and can deal with a rough gear change every once in a while!

Mookdoc6 so did the tune help and where can do they sell? I have a 2016 Sierra with the 8 speed and it just started doing the weird shifting and like a vibration feeling going 65-70 it only has 25k

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
