My truck has started to JERK when shifting into REVERSE from PARK and "delayed" actually engaging. It does it every now and then but it's starting to get annoying. I've already had the fluid flushed and now have a BlackBear Performance tune on it. The truck drives a lot better since the tune but the shifting into reverse is annoying. Has anyone else experienced this? What's the fix?

it seems like that's all dealerships do, is tell people "it's normal"! such bs

I was told it was normal, also I had "modifications done" that make it worse and that GM wouldn't warranty any repairs because of the engine modifications.  Its a Airraid tube. Only engine thing i have done, except muffler and exhaust tip. So If I plan to go back, gonna swap the stock box back on. so stupid.

Yeah i don't buy that one bit, your intake has nothing to do with it jerking going into reverse. I have an intake and tune on mine, truck jerked before and after these modifications, i don' t have warranty on my truck and have no issue paying out of pocket for the fix if someone could locate the fix

exactly what I told them. I only put the intake on the day before the appointment, and was doing it since day one.

It sucks this is happening to us but makes me feel better that I am not the only one with this problem. I saw a video on YouTube of another truck doing exactly what mine is doing, he never posted if he found a fix for it or not.

Life is like a box of GM Transmissions..... You never know what you're gonna get! :lol:

That's funny! I love the 2014-2018 GMC Trucks but these issues make me want to get rid of it! There's no reason for a truck to be acting like this.

Very true! I love everything about my truck except the transmission. And it's a 6 speed so it's supposed to be a good one! haha

The torque converter is being replaced in the next couple of weeks, so I'll see if that fixes it..

Keep us posted please! I'm curious to see what a new Torque Converter does for your truck!

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
