Hello everyone,

I am new here. I finally got an account, because everytime I have a truck issue, I search Google and it sends me here. If my issues was covered in another thread,  please respond with those links. On with the issue.

 

My RPMs are fluctuating even when I am in cruise control. If I turn on my tow-N-haul the RPMs fluctuate higher. Watch my Youtube Video of what is happening. Do you think it is a transmission issues or something else that is telling the transmission to shift as if it is going into "grade active mode" I do not have codes after they were cleared after i had the oil pressure sensor/switch was replaced. The video was prior to getting oil sensor replaced, but is still doing the samething.

Something in the back of my mind is screaming vaccum leak.
2nd thing is trans slip. But sure that is just me being trans paranoid.

is trans slip caused by overheating?

Likely. 165,212 miles showing on the clock. It has a trans temp reading in the DIC center cluster. (not shown)

Not always and there is a hot table for overheating at 212* trans temp.

Oh after watching the video it is one of two things. Trans or tm reduction issue. Plug in a scanner and you will know quick. Tb is reduced so something in trans is stopping the rpms.

Is it shifting back a gear or three or just spinning up like that? 

That is what it is doing. It is like tow and haul or Grade Assist Active is always on.

Everything is normal when I put it in manual. I even can turn on my tow and haul and is all normal.

Update: Still having the issues. I went to O'Reilly's and they checked codes for me. P06DD and an old one that I had for awhile, P0446. I am going to blow out the filter 1st on that one.

As one of the steps to solve the P06DD code is to change the oil. I also put Seafoam in my oil so I am not wasting an oil change. This time I got a oil filter designed for 0W20 oil. I do not know if it matters or not. I did not have this issue prior to changing my oil in November. This Saturday when i get to our property in Missouri I will change oil and got enough miles for the seafoam to do its thing! :) Here is a like for more detailed info on the code P06DD.

As of 9/9/19, found out through another another thread that you can hold the tow and haul button for 5 to 7 Seconds to deactivate the "grade braking" so that issue has been somewhat postponed until I can figure out how to fix the grade braking sensor. I still have issues with loss of power. I'm going to attempt to do the smoke test through the air intake to see if I have a vacuum leak.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
