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.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
