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?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
