The transmission seem to shift fine, no strange tranny issue that I can notice. Its still under warrenty so I may bring it in but knowing this dealers who knows if they will feel the same thing. They may just say some BS like "thats normal".

The transmission will shift normal if the TCC solenoid is getting stuck or if there's some type of trash in the valve body at the TCC solenoid. This solenoid doesn't have too much affect on upshifts. So this is why you wouldn't suspect a trans issue. There may also be a history code in the TCM they can work on. Tell us what the dealer finds out, if anything.....

I'm gonna say torque converter clutch staying engaged too long. Trans issue. It's almost like if you had a manual car and slowed down without pushing the clutch in, but pushed it in before it got to

Thanks, I'll have to make an appointment and see what they say. Should I even mention anything about a possible TCC issue?

You could hint at it at least. Or make your complaint say something like "it feels like manual trans going to stall without pushing the clutch" any trans guy should immediately start thinking TCC lockup

Justin has a lot of insight and experience and as in recent posts, is on the trail.

 

My thought is to put it in neutral vs in gear while coasting down. The TC shouldn't come into play in neuchie

Well, I was out and tried this, in neutral it does not do it so, it looks like its a tranny issue. Now to get the dealer to pay attention to my issue and fix it.

Shouldn't be too hard for them, but you never know. Definitely TCC fault going if it's okay in neutral. You may also have some darkened clutches from it staying on as well. Request pictures from the disassembly. Post them here! WE WANT TO SEE!!! [emoji23][emoji23]

 

Oh and don't forget there could be something stuck in the valve body itself, stopping a valve from moving or maybe a valve bore that's not quite circular. Normally I take a pocket screwdriver and move the valve back and forth easily to see if it moves, it won't take much pressure. If it has to be forced, the valve body needs to come apart. If they are free, checking the TCC o-ring and fitment in the bore is a good idea. If it shudders every time you slow down, then it should be relatively easy to narrow down. If it's intermittent, I would go ahead with replacing the TCC solenoid after the valve body inspection.

Well, was at the dealer today and a service bulletin was done that they said is what would fix it. So far its MUCH better, it seems to be doing it a little now but I may be overly sensitive so I'm going to give it a week. But right now it seems fixed.

I've been having this same exact issue for the past week. Slowing down from from 30 MPH to a stop, may have to make an appointment too. Rotor's and brake's are fine.

What exactly was the service bulletin they performed, I also have a vibration in steering wheel at low speeds.

I've seen a very similar issue on other vehicles when the pinion angle gets out of whack.  Have you done anything that would alter the pinion angle without readjusting it (lowering/lift shackles)?

I have a flip kit and hanger set at 5 in the back. I had a reputable shop in Okc install a two piece driveshaft which fixed the shake vibe at highway speeds and the jump seat doesn’t shake anymore, but the steering wheel vibe is still present at 20mph. It’s funny it doesn’t do it all the time, so I don’t think it’s driveline related. I’ve had the tires balanced several times at different shops, just had an alignment done that helped a little bit.

I am having a similar issue after installing 2.5" rear lift blocks and a set of Bilstein 5100 set to 1.85". Feels like bad shake while braking, felt through pedal and stearing wheel.  Starts at around 70kmh very slightly worsening as I get closer to 30Kmh.  I believe my problem is pinion angles do to the wrong style block??  (all installs were done by a shop and it did receive an alignment. Also has been back and everything checked over)

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
