3 week old 2020 At 4.  1100 miles and transmission problems already.  Returned to Ritchey Gmc today for service.  My 2018 gmc had trans problems.   Anyone having same problems?

No issues with mine. Only at 225 miles though. Not getting out of 3rd gear is a major problem though.

Well, it happens. Still can count all of the 10 speed complaints here on one hand. Mine’s been flawless.

I know that GM and Ford developed the 10 speed trans for these trucks and I don't know the similarities between brands and models. We leased a brand new Explorer late last year. It has less than 5K on it and it has been at the dealership for 3 weeks as of yesterday with the transmission ripped out of it and they are waiting on parts to put it back together. The new Explorers are RWD platforms unlike the previous generation and I assume they use the same 10 speed as an F-150 which can't be too dissimilar to GM's version. Ours developed a violent downshift after being above 45 mph, like turning into our subdivision from a 4 lane highway. It would also have random funky up shifts as well. I haven't talked to the mechanic yet to find out what happened. The service advisor hasn't a clue. I hope you get yours sorted out.

Co-developed, yes. But the GM and Ford transmissions are each built in their own individual plants with entirely different programming and controls. What happens in a Ford Exploder means nothing for what happens in a GM pickup.

 

I am as shocked as anyone that GM got the 10 speed so right and Ford still has it so wrong, but it’s 100% true.

I am totally in agreement with this statement. I had a 15 Sierra 6.2 8M, that had some warranty fixed transmission problems, which made it OK and still that way at 50k miles.

I traded it in on a 2020 Sierra 6.2 10M and am blown away with how great this transmission is so far. Nice smooth shifts up and down when cruising around town -but it has fast crisp shifts when you get out on the highway and get into it!

This is my first 10 speed on a GM, I do have experience with the 10 speed on an F150 and it's a very good trans. Buddies are running 600hp Raptors with the 10 speed and 4x4 launches and not one issue.

I've searched around and I can't find any problems with them either. Ours must have come down the line on a Friday at quitting time.

I have a 19 AT4 6.2 - 10 spd - 8,500 miles - not a single issue - in fact the tranny is one of the best overall things about this truck - it shifts smooth and has been absolutly seemless!

 

Hope they find a fix for you and you get back to enjoying your truck!

The new 10 speeds are junk. Stick with tried and true 8 speed.

My 8 speed drove like garbage compared to this 10 speed. Coupled with the ridiculous throttle lag, I did not enjoy my ‘18 Silverado.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      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.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
