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.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Jworks · Posted

      2011 GMC, 5.3, 183k miles. OK, ....I don't know, this may open a bucket of discussionworms. Ha. Here's the issue. I've been following GM's "mandate" to use Dexos 1 oil, 5w30 (Castrol). I'm thinking maybe I should consider a High Mileage oil due to 183k miles. Castrol and Mobil 1 both make HM but both do not display the Dexos 1 label. So....since I'm way past warranty does it hurt anything at all to change to the HM oil? Its not "Dexos 1" but I kinda doubt it will hurt a thing. I'd like some input especially if someone has done this. Thanks

      It is a company truck. Not under warranty. Both companies I’m involved with usually buy trucks that are discounted when looking. Except what the owners drive. Being retired and minority owner. I don’t drive a company truck. If they have the new GM gas engine it would be in a service truck.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Update!   Had the dealer look at the issue. First tech says no problem?? I said there was no voltage on the brake terminal on the 7 pin connector! He said he did not know what pin I was talking about. So they bring out a seasoned tech and I explain to him. He attaches a VOM and has me push the brake, and sees no voltage!!    Tom, the seasoned guy says lets go back to my service bay and look closer. We discover thru his on line system that the controller is a "smart controller" as it needs to detect a trailer connected before the brake voltage is allowed to the 7 pin connector!!! He also showed me a GM bulletin stating some trailers with LED lights have such low resistance the controller wont recognize them!!! I was thinking WTF, but thanked him for bringing me back into the service bay and explaining this all to me. He also plugged in a trailer simulator and it showed the brake controller was indeed working.   After my dealership visit I hooked up to an older camper with standard 1157 lights and the truck did connect and the electric brakes worked great!    Not to sure what I have to do with the equipment trailer with LED lights, I cant tow it with no brakes.   Why did something so simple for many years have to get so complicated!

      Do find out as that would be interesting if they have been using any L8T engines or for that matter have been running any of the Ford gas 7.3 to see how they have been panning out.    I assume your nephews engine replacement was on his dime as the regular warranty would have long past unless he had some form of extended warranty that covered such events. That shows though and may depend on the year of the build that failures are occurring with the valve train well beyond the warranty distance and more than likely so will others have that sneak up on them.

      I realize this is an old post and its probably been talked about since then on this forum and I may have mentioned it myself but the Chev multi flex tailgate on the HD trucks are all aluminum so there is that one item that I am aware of on a current GM HD truck that is aluminum but if its the standard tailgate then its still a steel unit as far as I am aware to current 2026 model year.
