Not a frequent poster to the forum but I thought I might share my issue. I was driving along at normal speed approaching a turn up the mountain. My speed slowed slightly and as I went to give it some gas and the transmission decided to make some hard shift and loose power. I was able to limp it back to my house which was 3 miles away. Had it towed to the dealer and here is the results. I will add a couple pics of the truck also. One with her summer shoes and one with the winter boots. Truck has right about 60k.

Glad they got it fixed for you.  I think this may be the first time I've heard of a valve body issue. Usually it seems to be TC issues.  Hopefully the repair lasts you.

they replaced my valve body first when I brought mine in for the transmission shifting issues. Then they replaced 1 more thing every time I brought it back until I got a reman transmission form GM. Hope your issue is resolved but if it starts screwing up again bring is back to them asap

Most definitely will take it back. Just glad it was under warranty. So far so good [emoji1696]. I thought it had been shifting a little funny leading up to the failure. Seems these transmissions just have issues.

 

Has the reman transmission been trouble free?

so far yep its been trouble free. Although the tuning still sucks and it usually has no idea what gear to be in when driving in city traffic

If it was me I would put the trans in manual for slow traffic.

Say 3rd or 4th gear.

Excessive shifting causes heat.

I had the valve body replaced om my 2017 8L90. Check engine light popped on randomly one day. Truck drove and shifted fine. By the time i got it into the shop was probably 60-80 miles later, and it still drove fine. The tech pulled the code and it was a trans solenoid fault. He drove it and said he lost 4th gear and got it back to the shop in limp mode. Has been fine since (the last 5k miles) but I have bad feelings about the longevity of this 8 spd. Lol

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
