Bought a brand new 2019 GMC AT4 with the 6.2 the truck has 5500 miles and it has a transmission leak. Took into the dealership and they replaced a seal. I get it back and put about 100 miles on it. Look under and its leaking again. Take it back to the dealership and they start troubleshooting. They call me 2 days later and say they have to replace the entire transmission. I'm kinda disappointed. New truck not been abused and already having to replace the transmission. Anyone else having issues with their 10 speed transmissions?

You're unhappy about this?

 

The transmission leaking doesn't seem to be a commonly reported issue, This sounds like perhaps they think something is worn (or perhaps GM does) in an unusual way, and are giving you a whole new one,  GM may want the transmission back to tear it down and figure out why it failed that way, or perhaps they found something wrong that would take a long time to fix (say, very poor parts availability).

 

Personally, other than if I would have to wait an extended period of time for the transmission, this is way better than having the local mechanic muck around with the internals of the transmission replacing just the odd part or two, as the transmission will be built by someone who does it all the time, not by someone just learning how the thing goes together.

 

And you didn't have to go through this a bunch of times.  I would have expected the dealer to try slapping parts on it a couple more times before doing a full replacement (depending on what they think is wrong).

Not a big deal. Very very few problems have been reported with the 10 speed. While definitely disappointing just be grateful they are taking care of it.

Had the same problem in our Odyssey. Even though it took replacing the right axle seal and the seal between the engine and the tranny, they ended up replacing it due to fluid seaping through the aluminum casting, but that was after multiple trips over a couple years. I'd be happy they addressed yours so quickly.

Only 300 miles on mine, having the same issue.

Less than 900 miles on mine, and it was gushing trans fluid when I pulled in the driveway tonight. NOT happy. ?

Seems this issue is more ubiquitous than I thought. What part of DFW are you from?

Consider yourself lucky!  At 270 miles, mine went in for leak, and they replaced the torque converter seal...few days later, it was brought back because it was still leaking!  And now, my truck has been at the dealership for 63 DAYS AND COUNTING!  They say they are waiting for a transmission pump.  Service manager has requested a new transmission, but nothing from GM.  GM has approved a buyback or replacement due to CA Lemon Law, but finding a similar truck (and getting a far away dealer to actually dealer-trade it to my dealer) has been impossible.

I feel for you man, luckily I’m also in CA, and I have a feeling I’m headed down the same road as you wrt the transmission.

Looks like it’s output shaft seal, we shall see if that corrects the problem.

Wow, that's much further back than mine...at least that's an easier fix.  Good luck.

Mechanic said it looked like someone took a screwdriver to it. Who? No idea. All fixed and ready to.

Weird!  Replaced a few of those in the 208 and 241 t cases in my K5s!  Easy fix, glad they took care of you.

I have a 2023 GMC Sierra AT4 with 3.0 Duramax and my truck has been in the shop since 12/5/23. The truck has 10,000 miles and is leaking transmission fluid. I stopped driving it as soon as I noticed the leak and towed the truck to the dealership. They replaced some washers at the thermal block and it still leaked, they replaced the thermal block and it still leaked and now they are replacing the cooler lines. Not real impressed. I never had any issues with my Ram Hemi.... Looks like I will be getting a Ram 2500 Rebel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.

      I have an unused GM Authorization code.

      By davester · Posted

      It would be sold as a "kit", lights + auth/programming code.   You can resell the code to someone else, if they just buy the lights, either new or used, and they can then use the code to get them to work on their truck.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Apologies in advance, this is a long post, there's a lot to explain.   A friend had a 2010 Avalanche with a 5.3 (LMG) that blew the head gaskets (amount other problems). He gave me a donor motor out of a 2007 suburban (LC9). I got it all installed, and everything hooked up. Went to go start it, and it stumbled a bit at first and died a couple times, but after trying a few times it sounded like it was running very well. Went out to go get some coolant, and came back the next day.    Upon trying to start it, the truck will crank and fire normally and the RPMs will raise to around 1,200 or 1,500, sounding great, and then the RPMs will decrease and it will just die. Repeat that a dozen or two dozen times, and eventually it will fire and idle beautifully. As soon as you touch the throttle, it will start misfiring and sound like absolute trash. When you let off the throttle it will come down and hunt around shaking and misfiring like crazy. A message will come up on the dash saying reduced engine power.    It is throwing codes for a map sensor circuit voltage High, as well as MAF sensor low frequency. With key on engine off, the map sensor reads about 4.8 volts on the vout pin, which the PCM interprets as about 17.8 PSI, contrasted to the barometer which my scan tool tells me reads about 13.5 PSI. However, once the engine starts and is idling this reading drops to about 5-6 PSI at a stable idle, and varies significantly when the engine is misfiring/ hunting like I said before. I should note that I used the intake and MAP sensor from the LC9 engine. I changed the connector on the 2010 harness to The 2007 connector. The pinouts for the sensors were printed right on the top, and I triple-checked that I put the correct wire into the correct place.   On the other hand, the MAF sensor reads consistently 0.0 g/s regardless of State. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out this last detail. I have tried three different sensors, (all of which should be good, one of which was new), I have verified all the wiring from the sensor going back to the PCM, and have verified that the readings at the PCM are the same readings as at the sensor itself. The intake air temperature sensor is also functioning as normal. I verified all the voltages and grounds etc, and everything is as it should be. I don't have an oscilloscope to verify, but I probed with my multimeter (Klein mm720) on frequency Mode, and it reads that on initial cranking, the maf is producing between 3000 and 7000 HZ, and as soon as the engine fires that falls off to below, 1000, and if the engine continues to run, it will produce somewhat erratic readings between 5 and 100-200 HZ. It does increase notably when the engine is revved despite the misfirings. As I said before, I have verified all of the wires going to the PCM, and I have tried multiple known good sensors. I've tested all the pins and voltages from the sensor and verified them against the manual that they are what they should be. I tested all the wiring for both ohms and voltage drop, and everything tested fine. Like I said I tested at the sensor as well as right at the PCM, everything checked out.   The only other thing of note at least I think is the fact that the engine originally in the truck had VVT, but the engine I put in, the lc9, does not have VVT. I modified the cam sensor plug to work. I reference the wiring diagrams and double-checked that I modified the harness correctly to adapt it. There is obviously a code for the VVT solenoid, but I don't think that's the cause of my problems, and this friend will probably have the PCM sent off to tune out the codes at some point.   I'm writing this for my bed so I don't recall the exact codes, but I'll update the post tomorrow morning with the exact codes. And ideas or feedback much appreciated.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.
