Over 40 mph on light acceleration I get a shutter up to around 60 mph. I'm starting to think it might be the engine deactivating cylinders and its having trouble making power to move the big truck.  Driving in manual or trailer mode it will not do this, I don't think the engine can deactivate cylinders.

 

I haven't had a problem with gear hunting but it has bounced off the rev limiter a few times under full throttle.  I'm at 5k miles.

Purchased a 2020 Chevy custom trail boss in March, v6 4.3 with 6 speed transmission. Everything great truck ran and shifted great. Exactly at 5100 miles started shifting funny. Same problems everyone else has been having. Thing constantly shudders doesn’t know what gear it wants to be in. Even on highway on cruise on straight away thing shifts every 3 to 4 seconds in last 2 gears, up down up down up down. First Chevy truck I’ve ever bought. Was ford guy. Starting to be second guessing my decision.  Has anyone got anywhere with the issues they were having? Truck goes to dealer in 3 days. Thanks

I have a 2020 with 12000 miles and my 6 speed transmission started acting up.  When just cruzing it sounded like I was going over a rumble strip and then going up hill it would rhythmically thump.  They tell me I need a new torque converter.  Kind of stinks with a new truck and all.

I have a 2018 4.3..6 speed. Been seeing that the truck didnt want to know where it wanted to be with gear, also noticed a slight slip between 1-2. Didnt pay much attention. Took a trip to Georgia from south fla, it did fine on the way up but when I got there from 1/2 fine, then jumped from what felt to 3rd then back to 3rd. Felt the truck was super heavy and dragging, saw temps up to 230-260. Came back home , drove. Was super bad. Gears will not fall into place from 2-3-4. Revs supper high about 3-4.5 rpm but will never hit 4th. Only drove about 10/13 minutes, trans fluid smelled burnt, I think the gears and clutch plates are going only 65k miles. Wtf. Taking it in to see what’s the deal.

I have a 2020 chevy custom 6 speed transmission. Its in the shop now for the same problems you all have described. They are replacing the torque converter. Been there 7 days. Lemon law says once its been in the shop over 30  consecutive or non consecutive days in the first 24 months i can claim its a lemon. Im counting the days and will be adding them together everytime i have to take it in.  Only had it 7 months so far.  Bought brand new.

Had the same issue. '19 TB. 6 speed. 2 different dealerships could not find anything wrong with it. No one would ackowldge the obvious clank, evven when I drove with them. Also after 25000miles, the fron t diff began grinding, and often would seem like 4x4 was engaged. same dealerships " can't find anything wrong", despite the obvious noises. Specifically paid for a front end inspection from a 3rd dealership who said the exact same thing.(By this time there was 55000 miles on it) Contacted GM head QC who told me to get an updated diagnostic at a gm authorized dealer, 2 miles after i left freom picking it up at the dealer who told me nothing was wrong. No arguing with a brick wall that i had just got it done and they wanted another. So I gave up and traded it in for a Tundra at a loss. (Hate the tundra BTW)

I have a 2019 GMc Sierra Limited SLE , 5.3 ltr, 6 speed. Around mid 30k started having shudder, hard shifting, whining noise. Long story short, torque converter failure, replaced TC with a refurbished one, tranny rebuild. Dealership was decent during the process. 
7 months later , same symptoms, back in the dealership. I was hoping the 6 speed would have been better than the 8 speed but no such luck. Still waiting for a callback on the diagnosis.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

      Radio Update

      By newdude · Posted

      PCM?  These don't have a "PCM".  Powertrain Control Module.  They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).   Do you mean update the radio?     You can check what version you have in the settings page.  Should be Y181 but there might be a newer build they can update it to.
