Hello, I'm new to this site. I'm looking for any info that can help me with my problem.

 

My truck started shifting hard in third and when down shifting into 2nd. All the tranny shops say rebuild and take no time trying to figure it out. It throws no codes, I have reset the pcm which is supposed to remove any hidden codes causing limp mode if I am correct?

 

It shifts normal again and reseting pcm but after driving starts shifting hard again with no code.

 

I believe if there was something wrong with the internal hard parts it wouldn't shift normally when reseting pcm which it does and would make sense. I was told it is wear on the bands which is normal.

 

The truck has 215000 on it and has been doing this for 2 years it doesn't get any better or worse.

 

I tried replacing rear ujoint, greased splines of slip yolk, cleaned maf, changed tranny filter and oil. If I could get a code it would help. I have a scan tool of my own. My scan tool and the one at the tranny shop find no codes. wtf is wrong with my truck?

63 views and not one comment. Please excuse the typos as I'm using a cell phone. Is it possible for no one

To have experienced and fixed the same problem? Any help would be appreciated.

The reason why they are quick to say rebuild is due to what I am assuming that you have the ever so fragile 4l60e trans.

Id avoid rebuild and go the route of upgrading it to a 4l80e if that's the case.

 

That's if it is in fact going. That's a lot of miles on it. Silly question, but when was the last time you did a full fluid and filter change on it?

Disregard the last line, I missed where you said you changed it recently

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
