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?

Azle & bought my AT4 in Weatherford

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.

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
