Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2016 Sierra 5.3L 8Speed and it is shifting hard in low gears. Just brought it in to the dealer and they said the trans temp is bad and is affecting the electronic shift adapt. They said a new trans temp is NOT covered under power train warranty.

Welcome to the site!

 

Where are you mileage wise?

 

You can open a claim with GM customer service to see if they will offer assistance on the repair cost.

Thanks! 

I'll have to look into that!

It just hit 90,000 but I recently bought it from a dealer that certified it so I get 3 months of power train warranty. They said power train only covers internally lubricated parts.

You may have to remind them that the transmission is full of internally lubricated parts. Lol

I've got the P0711 code on mine now too.  Search led me to this thread.  My truck is a 16 model with 63k miles on it.  I've recently had the 18 NA 355 trans flush done and now this is popping up on it.  I did find this video on Youtube that goes through it.

Is everyone having the internal connector wiring harness replaced at the same time with the trans temp sensor wiring harness? Dealership wants to do both. Says pip5700c bulletin requires it? I haven't seen the bulletin myself.

I know this is an older post, but I had both replaced.

 

The reason I came back to this is because I got a letter in the mail from GMC about being reimbursed for this repair.  Luckily I kept my dealer receipt on this and I have mailed it in for the reimbursement.  The total price I paid for the labor and parts was just under $400.

 

I'll update again if/when they send me a check.  It was a pleasant surprise actually.  I guess I'll see if they follow through.

2016 GMC Sierra 1500 All Terrain Package.  Had the 8L90 transmission flushed 3 times now because of "Torque Converter Shudder".  The first two times were under warranty, and were before the new fluid was released.  Flushed a third time in March, about 7 months ago, after warranty was up with new fluid.  Shudder issues were resolved but now have the P0711 code coming up.  On the phone the dealer said the temp sensor harness needed replaced and that it would cost around $525.  Called the GM customer service number because I'm sick of dealing with this transmission.  They said there were giving my case to a senior advisor and I would hear back in 1-2 days.  Paid to have the third flush done (around $300) plus my time to keep going to the dealer and taking off work to do so.  Tired of everything to do with this transmission.  Hoping GM will pay for a new harness.  Will update with results.

I have the garbage 8 speed in my 5.3L Silverado and it has been horrible since day 1.  Vibrating and slamming gear shifts both up and down but not all the time and usually only when cold.  (It is especially well behaved if a GM tech is driving to diagnose!) ? Its been flushed and reprogrammed several times with no help.  Last winter on a very cold day (-20F) I was running with the DIC set to trans temp just on a whim and noticed it read just 2 dashes for 5 miles or so then really erratic when it did read. I thought it was weird but hell the trans wasn't acting any worse than usual so what the heck.  So Recently, I see this issue with the temp. sensor on the 8 speeds and it all makes sense now.  I have been watching the trans temp much more closely now and it seems to read pretty stable when temps are summer time warm like 60 and above but the colder it gets the worse it performs and the more temp readings bounce. Now I know why this trans has been so horse sh**t and of course it's not covered for the 5.3L engines.  GM is losing me with this truck I think.

Just had the two codes show up today and just got off the phone with the dealer.  My truck (2016 all terrain 5.3L) is not covered.  Was looking forward to the release of the "refreshed" 2022 tomorrow but thinking I might start looking at Rams.  This truck and transmission is why GMC is the fourth popular truck.  Frustrating to say the least that they can f*ck up a transmission so badly and just walk away from it and leave so many people hanging.  Rant over.....

 

Is there any programming or calibration that has to happen if I replace the sensor myself?  thanks

Have you gotten your answer on this? I just replaced my sensor and no programming was needed.

2015 Silverado 6.2 8 speed

That part number does not seem correct. I had the same issue and changed the harness myself. I had purchased the harness on eBay using part number 24298757. This part number is the split harness, only the bottom half. You need this sensor, pan gasket24260071  and filter 24274402, all available on eBay or Amazon. You also need up to 8 quarts of MOBIL 124715(blue label) from Rock Auto or other retailers. Rock Auto seems cheaper. Several youtube videos on how to do it.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
