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

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
