2015 High Country 6.2.  Had torque converter replaced about a year ago to correct tcc shudder.  Started again a few days ago and took back to dealer.  They performed bulletin 18-NA-355 (flush transmission w/ Mobil 1 ATF and said to drive for 200 miles for full effect.

Just wondering if anyone has had success with this procedure to correct tcc shudder and hard shifting.

 

Thanks!

Was your shutter at 55-75mph off and on where the rpms raise a little and the steering wheel shook in your hands?

My '16 was flushed with some sort of new and improved fluid. Drove great for about 1000 miles then It came back.

Not really what I was hoping to hear. Mine is going in on Monday.

Anyone else with an update on this TSB?

Thanks,
Jon

They replaced my torque converter under warranty. Doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy but they took care of it.

I was under the impression gm stopped all tsb's for 8spd/tcc. The class action lawsuit for the 8l90 got thrown out because gm stated that their warranty covers manufacturing defects not poor design. After that, all work on 8spds was cut immediately and they stopped trying to fix it. I dont have the link for that specific tsb but do a quick search on google and you'll find it.

Pissa. More great news. Thanks for the info.

My TC was replaced because my truck is CPO. Let's hope if it happens again it's before 100k...

Just had mine flushed today in accordance with TSB 18-NA-355.  My 2017 Silverado High Country is also a CPO.  Should I have asked for a torque converter replacement?  It seems to be driving great now after the tranny fluid flush and fill.  Thanks.

It may be ok but down the road the TC will likely need to be replaced... based on what I've read from other people's experience anyway. How many miles do you have on the truck?

My dealership did 3 things all at once to fix the shutter for me: triple clean flush with new tran fluid, replaced TC, and reprogrammed the tran with an update from GM. This was done last year and while it was technically outside my warranty (miles) they got GM to cover the entire bill. I've driven ~35k miles since this was all done and have not had the shutter return. Sorry, cant say if it was any one of those in particular that fixed it. The dealership said they didn't want me coming back after only doing one of those so they did all 3 at once.

I agree.  I have read the same remarks.  It's a CPO, so I am hoping if it does need to be replaced it will still be covered under warranty.  It currently has 38k miles.  Thanks for the reply.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
