1. pull out the trans filter and inspect it for metal debris first, make sure the hard parts aren't disintegrating inside the trans

Hey 14silverado5.3,

     What's going on at your dealership is they know exactly what's going on with your truck. They are just spinning you around so that you keep driving it and your transmission will fail totally and then they will fix it for a substantial more amount of MONEY, versus the easy fix now they won't make as much MONEY off of you... Oh what power the almighty dollar has over us.

I have a 2014 Siverado LTZ. Has 43,000 miles on it . Was driving on the interstate when I heard a whining noise and the transmission was not shifting correctly. Got off the interstate and as i slowed down heard a bang. Then the only gear that worked properly was Drive- no neutral or reverse. I had it towed to a mechanic who is repairing the transmission for me with a newly rebuilt transmission from GM. Costing me ~$6200. GM is not making good on anything with this truck. Extremely disappointed.

A friend at my office just had to have his transmission replaced - about $5000.
Still, he's at 160K before this happened.
What a bummer! :(

2014 Silverado 4x4 just turned 100k. Start the truck loud whining sound, sounds like it's coming from the bell housing hard to tell. Pull into reverse nothing put into drive nothing turn the truck off and restart whining not as loud and reverse and drive work? 6L80E I believe is the transmission in my truck.

I Have the problem of ''grinding noise'' with my silverado 2014 1500 LTZ.  Its similar to ''14SILVERADO5.3''.

when i drive at 50 mph at constant speed  , it make grinding noise every few minutes.  It happen also at other speed (60 mph).  It seem to happen in the same time that the truck switch from V8 to V4.

 

so , i want to know how you resolve it.

change all the transmission?

or just the ''torque converter''?

 

thank you

Ok so im new to this forum, but i got a 2014 ltz 1500 chevy 6 months ago. 3 days after buying it i found water in the oil. 2 months later tranny valve body goes out. 600 bucks later im back on the road. 1 month later same tranny issue. Found a guy here in Gainesville, fl, he says all the 6l80’s have torque converter failure. He has it 4 days and rebuilds entire tranny. Valves, shift kit, torque converter, several other things. 4200 bucks. So what im saying is that the torque converters blow apart sending schrapnal thru tranny. He tells me he does 2 of these trannys a week. Gave me a year warranty and so far im good to go

yes this has been known for along time now..

Gm convertors have a very small clutch lining material that needs replaced around 100k mark.

Now this will very depending how you drive, tow etc, so its just a guess. 

But when the convertor goes it does send all the clutch material into the rest of the trans and makes a real mess of things.

 

My advice, change the convertor as soon as  you can. And i know its not cheap nor easy, but itll save your transmission

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
