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

 

I would say that it was tried and discontinued.  Most 8 speeds worked just fine, just like the 10 speeds.  The 10 speed is a better platform with newest engineering - mine is fantastic - but one man's junk is another man's treasure!

Tried and True 8 speed was "discontinued " after a few short years  - 10 speeds are latest and greatest - time will tell - but mine has been great.

My 8 speed in my 2018 Sierra was total garbage. After numerous attempts by dealer to resolve all the issues even they gave up and started with the “can’t replicate it” and “that is normal” BS. I finally threw in the towel and got a 2020 with the 10 speed.  Best move I ever made, it is a dream! Smooth quick shifts no clunking, jerking, slipping torque converter. Getting rid of the 8 speed transmission is long over due by GM if you ask me.

Have a 2020 AT4 Diesel, and the transmission is already out.  Waiting on dealership to repair.  Told me that they had 2 transmissions in front of it.

2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 3.0L Duramax
 

So, I have 39k miles on this bad boy. I love the truck but have had major problems. 
 

Check engine light come on the first time. Codes for transmission. Took back to the dealer, said they it was fine. Engine light went off there- 15k miles. 

 

22k miles light came back on, took it in, same thing. 
 

28 k miles light came of, went off later that day. Fast forward, came off the highway at 39k, you could hear something break. Limped home, clunking the whole way. Towed to the GMC dealer- transmission shot.
 

GMC replaced the transmission as of yesterday- 8/26/22.

 

driving home, check engine light back on. I haven’t checked the code yet but let’s just say I’m pissed.

So love my AT4 3L diesel but since April had nothing but trouble with the transmission. They flew in a GM engineer. He said it was a module. It finally came in. Changed it out. Didn't go 10 miles down the road before it started doing the same thing. Now they've changed out the transmission. Didn't even take it for a test drive after replacing it very next morning had the same problems.. now they're telling me they're supposedly an update coming out in October that will fix it. Meanwhile I have 50K plus vehicle that is practically undrivable.

I have a 6.2 with the 10 speed and developed a gear whine, it has run fine no CEL and shifts fine no problems just high pitched whine, dealer wants to put a new transmission in it waiting to hear back tomorrow on timeframe. how long have you guys had to wait to get a new transmission?

My 2020(5.3) at4 10spd started acting up around 14k miles and was replaced 2wks ago at 38k miles.   I have zero confidence in the new one.

We have a 2020 GMC 1500 sierra 5.3l 10sp

elevation pkg. 2nd owner. We bought extended warranty… highest one we could get with dealer 50k. We have had for 1 1/2 years. Reached 135k friday. Previous week shutter started. Dealer said needs new one @$6k because we aee out of warranty.

i have been researching today and finding all kinds of problems notes on 10sp, tgat gm knows about.

we don’t have back up vehicle and we don’t have $6 k to fix. I am in process of getting with the service manager… then i will keep moving up the “chain” until i get results of them backing theor product and replacing no cost. If that doesnt work… looking at lawsuit! Is tgere a class action on the 10sp?

There are a few class action law suites already against GM for the 8 speed transmission issues. I don't think any have gotten resolved so I wouldn't hold your breath or wait for that outcome.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
