My 2016 Sierra with the 6.2 has been at the dealership for over a week now.  Had the check engine light come on and it read codes of something about transmission flow issue and they I guess determined it was the temp sensor.  Well apparently the temp sensor is on national backorder so they have no idea when it will be available.  Anyone have any experience with national backorder?

Haven't heard of this But it's funny I will call my GM rep tonight and get the low down. However sounds like more of the 6.2/8speed curse.

Nope it's not 6.2L curse...it's 8L90 M5U curse...if you want to remove all the unwanted crap related to the Transmission you will....make sure it has updated Torque Converter made after the initial Stalling failure to engage bulletin et.  Replace all coolant and keep filter in place....Drive for few weeks and Replace all fluid, Wire Harness, filter and pan gasket.  Your fine when all you get is the two bumps from line pressure in morning off cold soak.....Nothing can be done about it...It's programmed in!

Wow.  I wasn’t even having any issues besides that hard shift every once in awhile. So it sounds like I’m in for a fun time with the transmission then.  

 

They tell me me I can’t drive it so I just want it fixed at this point.

Thought I would update this just in case someone else has an issue.  The part finally came in and it was fixed.  Apparently there is a service bulletin out on this issue and it was fixed and I was not charged for the fix.

Bumping this up.  I got a check engine light due to a transmission code.  Does anyone have a part number for the sensor, in case powertrain warranty doesn't cover it.  Thanks. @newdude

Part of the interal wiring harness on the 8L90 8 speed.  24297369 is the most current #.  Retails for $95.06.  I show coverage ability for factory powertrain and factory emissions for that if its the cause of your issue.

So far my 6.2 8 speed has been flawless. I have 10000 miles on it and i have had AFM off since 40 miles. My range did come unplugged once and my tranny started acting a little funny. I think Afm is 90 % of the problems people have with the 8 speed. The corvette 8 speed has been a beast and can take a lot of power.

Could be, I've got 37k on mine now.  I did have it flushed due to the torque converter shudder I was having, and now the temp gauge is bouncing around.  Hopefully this is the last of my issues,  normally I wouldn't care about a gauge that much, but when the temp is low the TCM won't let the TC go into lockup.

At what temp does it let the TC go into lockup?

I'm not sure what temp it is command for in the TCM, I just know that my truck wouldn't go into lockup on the highway sometimes.  Just got my truck back yesterday, wiring harness was replaced under warranty.

Dropped our 2015 Yukon denali off on July 25 for an oil change and to check an error code.  They say it was the temperature sensor - they ordered the wrong part and have now been waiting 3+ weeks for the correct part and harness to come in. Still no ETA on when parts will be in.

 

Did some more digging and found this - TSB from last week- 18-NA-355 recommending fluid flush to resolve shuddering.

I've been told it isnt related.

 

So far all covered under warranty and loaner car provided but it sure isn't a Denali and its driving my wife nuts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
