I believe I read or saw in a video somewhere that the HD's starts out in second gear when not under load. This prevents tire spin and excessive wear.

It starts in 2nd (per my iDash gauge) unless the tow haul mode is engaged or M1 is selected. Starting in 2nd doesnt bother me from a stop. I do feel it is a bit slugglish from a rolling stop, like a slow yield or trying to cross traffic in a hurry.

The transmission for the HD's was co-developed by GM and Allison (built to Allison specs) but it is built by GM. It says Allison because it meets Allison specs and they passed their testing. Therefore

Wonder what country they were built in. I’m sure it’s cheaper for greedy GM to build it using their 3rd world child sweat shops than Allison to build their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine is shifting perfectly. As for the off-road fuel, it has red dye to identify it. It is exactly the same fuel just has the red dye to identify off highway and the road taxes have not been paid

I'm new to this forum and am respectfully requesting some help.  For a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD with the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine and the Allison branded 10 speed transmission 10L1000, does anyone have a factory torque spec for the 16 bolts that fasten the transmission oil pan to the transmission case?

I called the dealer about the hard shift from highway speed to a stop, and the service rep told me this was completely normal for this transmission.  He said there was nothing they could do, and it will probably go away after a few thousand miles.
 
Not sure if I believe him, but maybe I'll give this truck another couple of months before I start looking at other dealers.

Doesn’t sound right. Have 12k miles on my truck. Probably 3/4 of that towing. Never experienced what you’re describing.

Have a 2020 GM duramax, 2351 kms and my transmission is shot, has to be replaced. Dealer advised GM will not let them diagnose the problem and a new transmission is being shipped. After doing a bit of research it appears these new 10 speeds have lots of issues, GM needs to step up. After spending almost $100k CAD ($74/ 75k USD) this is BS,  GM not only should offer to replace the tranny but should actually provide a new vehicle in my humble opinion. Most other industries provide replacement of their product with such major issues. Am really pissed off at at the moment. No wonder people buy Japanese/ Korean for their overall quality.

Where are you hearing that they have a lot of problems with the new HD transmission?

I'm on my second 2020 Silverado 2500. This first had a steering issue that I think was actually a faulty electronic power steering unit. It was bought Sept of 19. but it shifted like butter. My current '20 2500 drives like a dream.... except every 800mi or so, it will also lunge when shifting down to fist right before complete stop. I took it to dealer and they said there were no codes reported.  It seems like both issues I have had with both trucks started at about 1500mi

The 10 speed is not an Allison. Zed F gear box the same that’s in Fords. Allison doesn’t have a 10 speed.

Ford developed the 10 speed that is used in the 1/2 tons

As I understand it each uses there own transmission control. 

(as published in the media, they also share a gm developed 9 speed fwd trans)

 

Each has their own HD transmission. 

GM builds theirs.

In media video introduction they discussed in interaction with allison during development

10 speed wasn’t designed by GM and Allison. Joint effort with Ford, GM and Zed F. Zed F gearbox. Ford designed theirs for their trucks an GM designed theirs. Allison did do testing on them, but it already was a done deal.

This is not true.  Ford and GM initially worked together on HD trans.  They decided not to continue the relationship and GM worked with Allison to complete the project.  I'm not sure where ZF part is coming from.  ZF has never been involved with GM.

Yea no, ZF was not involved.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
