I do not know what the pin weight is. Advertised pin weight is 1880lb empty. I would guess that it is around 2000 - 2100lb. The test they are going to do on Monday are with a bumper pull camper around 7K. Another thing about the test that was conducted with my 5th wheel I was in manual in 3rd and 4th gear and when converter was locked and the tech unlocked it we were going up a slight grade to show him how it jerks/ bucks and this is not to be confused with chucking. I know the difference. It feels like the engine would be missing or cutting in or out. If the transmission is in 4th gear at about 50 mph the rpms are around 2100rpm if it 5th gear at about 60 mph the rpms are about 2100rpm. That is what is annoying trying to drive and increase throttle a little and truck starts to shake. Not cool

Will be waiting for the test outcome results.

 

The test methodology is on track to diagnose properly. I still worry about your 85.15% load factor without calculated wind resistance drag. The trailer they will be using will be much closer to the 50% load factor to see operational outcome.

 

If the jerking is still present at the new lower load, head for trans torque convertor clutch solenoid engage / disengagement "mechanical operation". If the problem disappears, it's the truck being over the maximum tow capacity with all the drags added on, that have not been calculated.

 

Too bad you never scaled (full tank of gas) the truck / trailer for full loaded weight. That can be found at truck stops, moving companies and metal scrap yards. Some of these places have "truck scales". You'll be shocked at what your true actual weight will be.

It does not Matter what the frickin wind resistance and or load on the truck is. Weather it was at maximum load or 50% Load. The truck should pull and or shift correctly. Im sure there is a programming glitch or he ended up with a bad converter solenoid!! Stop trying to over diagnose a simple problem! Im sorry but most techs and dealerships have no idea how to diagnose a mechanical problem anymore. They look straight to trying to avoid warranty claims or electronic programming and electronic failures. Im betting this problem can be duplicated without a load on the truck. If not its an easy read while driving the truck and connected to a diagnostic scanner.

 

I dont care if the truck was in a 100mph head wind and had been overloaded buy 50%. Has nothing to do with what the transmission and or converter is supposed to do.

 

OP. please keep us updated on the problem. And sorry if i missed it but if you shift down and apply more throttle does the issue go away? 2000Rpm while under a heavy load is not the correct rpm to be trying to pull at. Make it eat and shift into the correct gear and bring the rpm up over 3000. then once up to cruising speed you should beable to cruise on flat ground in 5th with that weight.

If I get on it from a start no problem. It is after I am up to cruising speed that the problem starts. 5th gear cruising at 60 MPH is around 2100-2200 rpm. Giving it a little throttle to keep it going at 60 I am in the area where it starts jerk/buck. The truck runs fine if you put the boot to it. You do not have to have your foot in it all the time and this is when it shows up. Cruising and only needing a little gas to keep it rolling is the problem. I sure hope this puts a end that I am babying the truck. Not the problem period.

Thanks. This is what i figured. And should be an easy resolve for a good tech with a scanner. Really sounds like an update is needed. Or you have a miscommunication between pcm and tcm while under load. Wasnt blaming that you were babying the truck. Just looking for the throttle an rpm situation. Either that or the converter solenoid is sticking or faulty etc. Does the truck do this while its in Tow/haul mode as well?

This is why I think it's the transmission's clutches...not enough to pressure to keep them tight.

Gm had an issue with the 2014 and earlier trucks occasionally having a torque converter shudder problem while under load. Pretty sure a recall. was issued for the TCM to be reprogrammed etc. I Dont remember the whole issue. Have not seen it with the 2015 + trucks. But it is probably the same situation.

Just got a call from dealer service manager saying they could not duplicate condition with there camper. I have a appointment the 25th to go with service manager and one of the owners and my 5th wheel for a test drive.

2016HD this happens in tow/haul mode in manual and drive.

Dealer service manager called today they made arrangements with Penn Equipment to use one of their trailers loaded with a mini excavator to get total around 10K. I will be present when test takes place this Thursday. I think they are at least trying to determine whats happening to cause jerking/bucking.

The service manager, one of the dealer owners and I did the test drive with the trailer and equipment approx between 10-11k and the truck did not jerk and buck. On Monday we will be doing the same with my 5th wheel camper. Will let you know the results of that test. I did the driving.

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.
