The 8l90 is a defective. Based on my research there is a class action lawsuit.  I have had three repairs ( TCC recall, new valve body, reprogramming. ) my miles did not warrant any maintenance. 
 

I will let you know how it turns out. S

Did you get the flush done.I just had it done, I would never think that changing fluid would make that much of difference.My shift points are great now,no more clunking.

Yes there is issues this is one of 4 major issues gm has had or is having. Trans and afm/DOD are fixable but good luck getting them to do it. As it cost to much and is mostly out of dealership ability

Change all of the fluid to the new recommended fluid for your truck.  Put your VIN in here and have a look:   https://parts-catalog.acdelco.com/catalog/catalog_search.php   If that

I had my trans flushed at 88k miles, as a maintenance item. Trans was running great.

Fast forward to 120k miles and the entire thing went boom! Had to get a new rebuild done. 

I blame the flush. Pan drop and filter change is better than just a flush.

Just starting to get this problem with my 2017 Silverado 6 speed. It has 26000 miles on it and is beginning to shudder in mornings, at 30 mph and after about an 20 min. of driving it’s starts to calm down. Any suggestions on what I should do and what route I should take. I’ve taken it to tow different dealers and one person felt it but would not talk to me about it. Both dealers said there was nothing wrong with it.

Please send info of where I can file for this class action lawsuit. 

This thread is about the 8-speed and no talks of the 6-speed that has been around since 2007.

I have a 2020 Colorado basic model for work purchased from deLuz Chev. in Hilo Hawaii. Major hesitation with shifting (especially when going up hills)  Head mechanic acknoledged the problem but there was no fix currently.....management however told me a couple days later that he discovered no problems at all. When I suggested that I play a recording of his acknowledgment for the management they went silent :) Thats when the owners wanted to get involved but still did nothing. For a 2020!? 

 

Does anyone have any information about this?

I have a 17 Yukon 5.3 with 6sp.  I began experiencing the shudder around 40k.  Are there others with a 6sp experiencing the shudder?  GM bulletin 16-NA-175 only covers 8sp tranny>  Help!

I also have a 6 speed with the same problem. I notice it most when going up hill and if I give it a little gas to maintain speed it feels like it wants to kick down but just jerks.

Here is a link a youtube video from an automotive lawyer about the lawsuit.  GM's claim in the suit is they do not need to cover the warranty as the problems are with the design, not a material or workmanship problem.

Good to know!

GM says:

 

"I make a crappy transmission and it isn't my fault because I use good materials and my workmanship is divine". 

 

NEXT!!!

 

A horse is looking better and better all the time.

Just had the dealer do a pan drop and filter done to be 6 speed. I was curious how they do flush with the trans thermostat we have. Since you can flush a damn thing unless the trans thermostat is bypassed or the fluid they are flushing with is pre heated to 190+ degrees.

 

they said they don’t do flushes, they drop the pan and filter and 6-7 quarts come out. When I asked about all the fluid in the cooler they just kinda shrugged.

 

Wtf.

 

I could feel my trans starting to slip at 62k miles, feels a lot tighter now. Definitely would have failed around 100k I hadn’t done it.

Oh and the vacuum pump for the brake booster is an class action. IMO that needs to be addressed as it isn't about if but rather when it goes out. As it takes out the line,pump,master brake booster and more.

 

For legal purposes 150K is considered a 'lifetime'. I'm just under 140K with the original booster pump. What will I get if I make it to 150K? OH...I want the big Teddy Bear!! 

 

Lord I wish this guy wasn't run off. Miss ya 1SLOW1500!

Well for me my 2014 Silverado crew cab Z71LTZ transmission lasted for about 110k miles and started the hard shifting and now at 118k it started slipping and shuttering. Took it to dealership last week and was told it was toast and not re-buildable and that I was looking at 5k to replace it with a new updated transmission. Now I also took it to the same dealership for transmission service at 75k they flushed it and refilled. So now until I can fix I have a 30k paper weight for a truck. Had Chevy trucks my entire adult life but it's looking like that will need to change because after we the people bailed out GM they are nowhere to help bail us out.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
