I'm 500 miles in with a 5.3 LTZ and it drives like a Cadillac to me coming from Hondas and Subarus. Smooth and quiet, even with Z71.

Same here. 700 miles on my 5.3 8sp RST Z71. Upgraded from a 2007 LT Crew, so the ride and drive are an exponential improvement. 

 

I have not experienced any vibration or oddities so far. When I first got it, I did feel like the shift from 1-2 was a little abrupt in the mornings when the truck was cold. But I have since come to realize I was babying the accelerator a little much, which was causing that harsh shifting feeling. I had to adjust my foot from its 12-year habits of driving a 4 speed w/OD! ? 

 

I’ve noticed that the 8 speed really works so smoothly when you put it to work. Not mashing on the gas, but just driving it like normal. It’s a GREAT power train, IMO.

Picked up my special ordered 2019 Trail Boss about 2 weeks ago.  Loving it so far.  Lots of mods already.

Same! Love the 5.3/8speed combo! Smooth as silk and more power than I could ever need! I have about 5000 miles on mine. Came from a 2011 Silverado half ton with 5.3/6speed and new truck is better in every way! The DFM is so much better than the AFM was (still wish it didn't have this feature but if it's going to,at least they improved it!)

definitely sounds like you need to be super careful with how you wash it. If it's going through a car wash with brushes, any black car will look bad after a few of those. OnThereel said a 2 bucket wash is the best way... I couldn't agree more. One bucket has soapy water, the other is for rinsing... I rinse my wash mitt after i wash each panel both with the hose and in the bucket, then do the wheels and rockers with a separate mitt and do them last. Start with the glass and work your way down. Black is a pain to wash but looks awesome when it's cleaned and cared for properly.  


Thanks for the tip. I guess I’ll be hitting up autozone

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice this. I have a 2019 RST and I noticed this for the first few weeks I got the truck. If I don’t baby the throttle as well it doesn’t have the abrupt shift form 1-2 from a cold start. The first few times it happened I remember thinking I really hope my brand new truck doesn’t have a transmission problem.

Looking to put on side steps Ricky's

I got real lucky with mine.  They had a scuff mark on the driver side one so they gave them to me for free.

Look up bulletin #16-NA-361 harsh 1-2 shift upon first startup shift under light throttle. GM says it normal on the 8 speed. It has something to do with the initial clutch fill time of the C4 clutch. No fix for it. Gm says it's normal. I have driven more than one 2019 8 speed and they all do it.

Looks like the steel and white are jacked up on blocks and have no tires and wheels lol.  I don't think black wheels are doing these trucks justice. Just an opinion.

Thanks for posting this. Puts my mind at ease that it’s normal and not our trucks having an issue.

Yeah shitty lighting doesn't help with it being sunny and these trucks parked facing south in the morning either.

 

Have you seen them in person?

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
