We'll have had ongoing issues with my 2014 Sierra tranny including a new bell housing because the old one was leaking( never anything on ground just noticed 2 drops of fluid on inspection cap on the bottom side of tranny).  When I finally got that resolved got the truck back and had what was like a screeching sound or metal metallic  sound periodically when it would downshift or upshift into third gear so back to the dealership it went.  Got the call this morning new tranny is here and getting installed. ?  Anybody ever had a reconditioned tranny from gm?  Do they come with a warranty?  Do they last?  Thank god for the 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty!

I bought a reconditioned trany  for my 93 Silverado from a local dealer.

4L60

The difference was the GM had a 3 year, 36 k mile warranty. All others,1 year, 12 k mile warranty.

When a trany is rebuilt they replace clutches, seals, for the most part. AAmco is a good example. To R&R my 93 trans was $2k with a 1 year, 12 k mile warranty. If the pumps or any other parts were bad upon tear down, add those parts cost to the bill.

GM techs check all parts and replace anything that doesn't meet spec's.

My 4l60 was $1900 and I installed it. Still got the warranty.

Shifted better than the original.

I would do it again if i need a trany rather than AAmco or other company.

The GM SRTA units carry a 3 year/100k mile warranty.  They have all the latest updated parts installed in them and the warranty is valid at any GM dealer if you have any issues down the road.  However, looking at the catalog, if you have a 5.3 non NHT, they only do new transmissions for those.  5.3 with NHT its a reman, 4.3 gets a reman, and 6.2 non NHT is new.  What are the specs on your truck?

That stinks!  I have 120,000 HARD miles on my '15 NHT and haven't had one single issue.  It tows heavy, hauls heavy, gets driven hard, and still comes back for more.  I am currently knocking on my wooden desk...just in case.  Just sounds like you got a fluke and should be if they repair or replace it with another.

Haven't seen any major tranny issues posted on here for the 14+ models.. any other issues you've noticed with your truck?

Just a couple of the common ones everyone talks about....leaf spring noise, needed a new radiator and thermostat due to a cracked leaking radiator.

Well, I would try not to worry about it too much then.  Look on the bright side, you have a new tranny!  Break it in nicely.  Do they have any theories as to what caused the failure?

had burnt up clutch on 3rd gear with little to no fibers left on it  and 4,5,6 all showed signs of major heat stress and scarring.  that is what they found out when they had torn it down.  my guess is something wasn't getting enough fluid...

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

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

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
