Any one out there with the 8 speed transmission not having issues??

Just thought I would throw that out there to see how many are having problems and how many are not.

Thanks

My 2016 LTZ 8 speed, was having some slow speed surge and clunking issues that was corrected for the most part with a complete multi-flush and revised GM trans fluid done under warranty.  So far, my 2019 8 speed, is much smoother than the 2016, but I only have 500 miles on it!

2016 5.3 / 8 speed here. Sitting just north of 50K on the clock. No problems with mine. The dealership did a trans fluid flush last time I was there, only to keep my warranty in tact.

21,000 on mine with no issues.

Already 21K on your '19, that's amazing.  Let everyone know on the 2019 threads of your impressions so far of the '19, I would be interested to know if the seats have been improved, for example.

2019 Colorado LT here.....just about 250 miles and no trouble yet !! Haha ! Had no idea there was problems with the 8 speed. I was a Toyota Rav 4 owner before this until I was rear ended and was put in a Colorado rental for 2 weeks. I absolutely loved it, traded my Rav in on the Colorado 2 weeks later and here I am. hopefully the tranny thing doesnt bite me in the ass.

I did test drive a CPO 16 Colorado with 20k miles on it that drove like it was beat to shit, hated the 6 speed. Then tested a 17 Canyon SLT that had 24k on it and it also shifted a little funky so I opted for new.

I have ordered a 2020 Denali to .replace my 2017 Denali, both with eight speed transmissions.  I really liked the way the eight speed performed on two trips to Texas (10,000 miles total) and mileage up to thirty MPG (28 average for the second trip:).  I have yet to take one of my Canyon’s to a dealer for any repairs whatsoever  ( the current ordered Denali will be my fifth).   Although some have had problems my truck was trouble free from delivery to trade in.

My ZR2 Colorado the transmission was shuttered hard. I just brought it in yesterday  they flushed the transmission and replaced it with an upgraded oil. It’s seems to be working well for now. It’s only been one day. We’ll see. I’m reading nightmare stories of the Colorado having this problem.

I have a 19 Colorado LTZ with less than 7K miles and have experienced clunking and hard shifts several times under normal warm conditions. I told the service writer to check it when they serviced the truck for the first time. He said they checked it out and it was fine, but I'm not convinced. Guess it will have to get worse before they believe me.

Is it the diesel or the V6?

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
