Quick heads up. No dealership is gonna be interested in fixing anything. You'll get better customer service and satisfaction by going to Taco Bell.

Take it to the dealer again and tell them there is a TSB 19-NA-121 out for TCC shutter this as it flushes and changes the trans fluid to the new type of Mobile 1 blue label fluid, I had this done abou

Mine has been to the dealership four times with a shudder. (3 different dealers)   They say it's normal.  This is my last GM product. I can't stand driving my new truck

@nichos I think I’ve been having the same problem on my 2019 Silverado 1500 5.3L V8- getting worse/more frequent the last month or two.
 

Did you get the Trans fluid flush done and have any benefit? 
 

Hoping I can get away with just the TSB that @Silverado4x4 mentions there.

 

thanks in advance!

@Garystruder I think it did for a while but the problem came back. I took it in at the start of the year since I knew my 60k powertrain was expiring. The dealer said it would be covered and GM would rebuild it for free.

 

I was fortunate though, the dealer included a 100k warranty when I bought the truck and I was able to get a new transmission (see this thread: https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/263709-2020-chevrolet-silverado-1500-8-speed-shudder/#comment-2647696 )

 

Anyway, I have the new transmission, I wouldn't say it's smooth, but the shudder is definitely gone. Still had shift when she's cold.

 

Good luck!

I experience the same thing a high frequency vibration. It’s not at a severe level yet I was concerned. I took my truck into the local Chevy garage. The service manager said it was due the torque converter. He wanted to replace the fluid in the transmission. He said that might help. $675 later with new fluid the high frequency vibration comes and goes as before. 
I’m planning a 2,000+ mile trip over Christmas. I’m concerned regarding possible transmission failure on the trip. The truck is a 4 door with a 5.3 liter engine - 4x4 of course. The truck has 130,000 plus miles on it.

Same deal.  2019 with 5.3L at 44k miles and started to experience a slight shudder at about 25mph with gradual acceleration.  I use a Range device to disable DFM.  Brought it in and had the Tranny flush....seems to have made a difference.  Do not have any symptoms afterwards and keeping fingers crossed.   Dealership was quick to point out either the Tech Bulletin for Tranny Flush or TC issue.

I have been having this problem for the longest time! I have had several dials ran on it and nothing. Came across this thread and it looks like there is a TSB?! I thought GM service centers were supposed to check these when you bring your truck in for service?! I’m shocked at this discovery. I could have some serious damage happening to my truck and GM has failed to send me ANY letter of any sort stating there is a TSB! GM, please reach out to me to help come to an amicable resolution for both of us. I love my truck, 2019 Silverado Z71 RST, affectionately named “A10 Warthog”.

Just brought my truck in to another service shop. Shudder is so bad…they recommend an entire transmission swap!!! How on earth can that be?! GM…if you’re reading this, would love to hear how we can work together to resolve this without lawyers.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
