You KNOW this won't fix the shudder issue?? I write service for and Chevy dealer and can assure you the flush takes care of 98% of the vibration issue. I had my 17 6.2 flushed in early December and ha

My brand new '18 Redline Editon developed "the shudder" at around 450 miles.  Mine seems to shudder worst when around 50 mph and constant speed and again between 65-70 mph, where it will do it all the

There was another post on this. Apparently the guy took his truck in and had the driveshaft looked at. The specs were a bit off and it wasn’t true all the way around. I think he said it cost him like

Do your homework prior to getting to the dealership, know your warranty inside and out. Also, you’re not stuck using only that one dealership, you can take it to any GMC or CHEVY dealership. They do not communicate with one another unless same company

chrispassas - tell them you will take it back to them every single time it shudders - and, then do it ... force them to go for a drive WITH you and record the RPM gauge ... they are slowing rolling you.  The fluid change in mine appears to have completely fixed the problem.
 

TXgreek - could possibly be oil on MAF - they are incredibly sensitive ... not trying to start another war, but my understanding is that air filter mods result in performance improvement in a VERY small range - like at the max HP.  Never made sense to spend the bucks to do it to me.

I have been a little too nice, do you have the 6 speed?

Gah -  sorry - Chris and TX!  Mixed up names and topics ...

 

Chris, comment re shudder was meant for Eric with the 2018 6.2 and 8 speed.

 

TX - comment re MAF was meant for Chris ... been thinking more about the MAF and oil contamination ... could be the problem, but not clear.  6 speeds were not known for the shudder issue prevalent in the 8 speeds, were they?

IMHO, it’s more of a mental high than anything else. I’ve run cold can induction in prior vehicles and in all cases actually getting negative returns. It’s a mental high, that’s all. These engineers would’ve made a larger intake to make draw in more air to make more HP if they thought it would’ve helped improve against the competition. I’d rather change the stock air filter more often than install one of those. Last vehicle I had it on was my 14 with a 5.3, negative performance. This type of added kit only works positive performance if your motor is completely tuned (not canned tune) in addition to headers, exhaust, motor enhancements and much much, more. Back, starting in my teens, my stock Buick T Type and later in my 20’s a slant nose 930 destroyed every street legal hot rod that went up against me. Our trucks are designed for towing, hauling and going through drive thru’s lol. Just my opinion.

Both, issues are with both 6 speed and 8 speed

TX,

 

Copy - however, from my limited reading the issues sound a bit different ... 6 speeds appear to clunk badly and not shift smoothly, whereas the 8 speeds are much more likely to shudder and rattle AND clunk badly on down and upshifts at certain points ...

 

Perhaps the new fluid will help the 6 speeds as well?

 

I am still amazed this sort of thing can even happen - given the development costs and opportunities to beat the shxx out of them during testing ...

Did you end up getting the fluid change for your 6speed? I have an 18 6 speed and it shudders and clunks like crazy.

No. But I did just get a black bear performance tune and the transmission is basically how it should be from factory now.

Before it would always clunk after letting off gas then coasting. It wouldn’t know what to do if I wanted to go fast. Justin turned off AFM under 45mph and cleaned up the shift points. It really does drive like a different truck. Still think I need to regear because of my tires but other than that I’m very satisfied

It's been 3 weeks now since I had the trans flushed a d new fluid added in my 2016 Sierra 5.3 with the 8 speed trans. The shudder is still gone! Love it!

I was out of warranty and had to pay out if pocket, the dealership which sold me the truck refused to do the flush for free. ( That's a long story, they pretty much hid the shudder from me). They wanted $700 to do the flush, I laughed. Went to the other local GM dealership in town and they charged me $350. I'll never go back to the other and am letting everyone else know as well how crooked they are.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      By snowblind · Posted

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
