Yeah, remembered you did, just wasn't sure if anyone else had tried it. Doubt it makes a difference at all like you said.

I have the exact same issue, brought it up on here as well.  2019 with 8 spd and 5.3.  Happens on decel between 25-20 mph like clockwork.  Not an actual vibration you can feel per se, but more of a ca

I had the dealer service manager ride in mine today for this exact issue.  He confirmed he heard and felt the rumbling.  He has absolutely no clue as to the cause or fix.  He wants me to drop truck of

Nope, the rear driveshaft.  I experimented with all sorts of pinion angles and I was able to make the problem better/worse.  Putting it in neutral takes the driven torque off the driveshaft and makes

I called my local dealer this morning to see if they have had any other reports of this happening and if they have found a fix.  Waiting for the call back.  

I have a lift and I am wondering if a speedometer calibration (Hypertech in line) would have an effect on it since my tires are over sized from the stock version.  I feel like it did it before the lift but that was 8k miles ago and I cant remember.  I will keep posting updates on here as I get more information.  Hopefully it  will draw some attention from others that have the same issue to post their fix or how the dealer fixed it.

I'll keep you guys posted too. My service advisor is a straight shooter and he said they haven't had anyone come in for that particular issue but said its definitely not right and they will work on getting it fixed.

Hey guys, I have a 19 5.3 8speed and I too have the rumble, since day one. My theory is that the converter remains locked while the truck is downshifting and engine breaking. If you accelerate with light throttle and get to a cruising speed at around 30mph, you can feel it locked. I am familiar with the feeling because iv experimented a lot with locking a converter manually at different scenarios like on low speeds (different vehicle). Its the only thing that makes sense. I think this was mentioned in this thread.

 

If this is the case then it could likely be solved via software to disengage the lockup when engine braking at low speed.

I agree with you on this one. The 2020 loaner I have doesn’t do it nearly as bad, barely detectable. Wondering if there is TCM update the dealer can install that’s put in the newest trucks.

I found this information, it could be related, for now I will ride it out and see how it goes.

Just got a call from the dealer "we can't feel it, can you come ride with the tech"? Well, you should have asked that when i dropped it off since its 1:15 min round trip for me and its a workday. Unless it stopped doing it, it is VERY noticeable - so frustrating.

Alright, so went to the dealer during lunch. Rode with the transmission tech, super nice guy - he said he definitely feels it but he doesn't think its the transmission. Might be the exhaust, DFM etc but they are going to keep it and continue to diagnose. I'm not convinced DFM is deactivated in L7, so it could be that. It HAS to be the engine or trans since in neutral it doesn't do it at all. So we'll see what they come up with. Will keep everyone posted.

Had my 11yr old ride in the back today and asked him if he could feel it. He says “absolutely, that’s annoying Now I feel it every time but I found what’s rattling. So he stopped the rattle. I experimented in L1 today. Got up to 2500rpm then let it slow itself down. Once it gets below 5mph it feels like it down shifts and let’s loose. But of course that can’t be right it’s in 1st gear. Weird thing was that after driving In Only first gear for a while then going back to normal drive it seemed to rumble a lot less. Maybe getting the rpms up in first and second gear will open up whatever’s sticking on the down shift. I have not heard back from my service tech yet if they have had any others in the shop for this. I will call tomorrow.

Very interesting experiment. Wondering if it’s not the transmission at all. That’s what my tech thinks. He’s pretty sure it’s engine tuning, exhaust, something of that nature. That being said, wondering if it’s something to do with the start stop system interfering with a bypass or something whether it’s on or off. Or it could be that the manual gear selection in fact doesn’t actually disable DFM like we thought.

 

Mine is still at the dealer, they haven’t figured it out yet but at least they’re trying!

Dealer has been great, shop foreman took over the repair of my truck, spent a lot of time on the phone with GM documenting what was going on. GM comes back today and with a verdict of "operating as designed". Well that is unacceptable because it is not. Waiting to see what the dealer recommends from here. Might be driving a Ram sooner than I thought.

Welp, update to end the saga. They drove some trucks on the lot and a few were better than mine and a few were worse. So the dealers hands are tied by GM, so guess I’m just going to have to live with the rumble from now on. Hoping it gets better with time or that it’s a DFM issue and it will be fixed by the RANGE device once it comes out.

Switch into 4Hi and you'll find the rumbling is much less noticeable, if not gone altogether (at least on my truck).

 

Makes me wonder if this is not front driveshaft or CV related.  I had it pre-TrailBoss lift and I have it after TrailBoss lift, so it's an anomaly in the truck itself.

Interesting, my truck is 2wd though so can't experiment with this unfortunately haha

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
