Shudder?

Is this the trans shudder? At 55 to 60 mph feels like it will vibrate 4 or 5 times every 15 or 20 seconds and the tach will move up and down 100 to 200 rpm every 5 to 7 seconds. I have a 18 6.2 8spd 7500 miles. I only drive 3 miles to and from work so it barley has time to get warm. Well yesterday day I drove 60 miles to go fishing and this started on the way home. I have had the 1 2 shift flare and it’s been slow to downshift back to 1st when coming to a stop sign for a while. I’ve taken it to the dealership twice for those problems but the say everything is in spec( big surprise ). I have not called the dealership yet but last time they were 6 weeks behind on transmission checks. I need drive it long enough to hit and get a video of the tach moving if it will do it again.

Mine started doing this too.  28k miles.  Haven't taken it in yet.

Based on mileage the check list change. But yes that is shuttering. I would say drive train vibration but when you added the rpm that is shuttering.

Recalibration and check fuild is a state.

Also there is nothing ever as "in spec" as there us a adaptive table that compensates for the trans.

 

Oh I would see if you have all updates and new fluid update.

Truck was built 8-18. I had it to the dealership twice for trans and an alignment and for free oil change an trans. Nothing on the paperwork about any updates but it still could have been done. It doesn’t feel like a drivetrain vibration problem.

My '18 High Country with 6.2 8-Speed had issues at 700 miles and it was shudder. So it can happen at low miles. I have about 5k on it now and since the flush its been fine.

56k miles and mine just started.  It's been getting worse over the last two weeks.  I have an appt next week to check it out.  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

there is a know issue with shudder from the trans/torque converter on the 8 speeds. 

 

take it to the dealer. typical complaint is it feels like you are going over a rumble strip while driving.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
