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.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
