Thanks for this explanation.  Good to understand it's a software thing.
Ya in theory there won't be any long term effects from the rough shifts. Time will tell.

Mine only has the harsh 1-2 shift when the transmission is cold and I go straight from reverse to drive. If I give it a few seconds before I shift from reverse to drive I don't get a harsh shift.

I've tried that twice already with two different dealers, this is what I got back....   Hi, Vance. After speaking with your dealer, it has been found that the shift concern you are experienc

I bought a 7 year warranty, I guess if it breaks down I should be ok for at least that time.

You would think after spending in excess of 50k on a new truck, you wouldn’t have tranny issues. My 15 Sierra shifted perfectly. No jerking or clunking.

Also making transmissions for over 100 years you would think they had it down pat. This is one of the issues when you sub it out to the lowest bidder. I just don't understand why ruin your reputation for a couple of bucks.  The paint chips so easily as well. I remember in the 90's GMC had a commercial having metal ball bearing dropped on the paint showing it's professional grade. Now I get chipped by a grain of sand. But this tranny in stop and go makes you nauseous. Slamming into 2nd every dam time.

Ironically their cheapest power plan is actually one of their very best performing.

The 4.3 has no torque limiting. It comes with 3.42 gears. When you move your foot the transmission downshift so there's no delay. It pops off manual downshifts better than the 8 speed or the 10 speed.

Sad thing is, I got this High Country powered with the 6.2l to better haul our boat to the lake. 

I don't believe the 4.3l would enjoy that haul.

Within its limits [emoji23].

Not even kidding I drove a custom 4.3 as a loaner and honestly thought it was a 5.3 with 3.42 (my truck had 5.3 and 3.23) until I checked the window sticker. It has a fat torque curve, and unlike the 5.3 doesn't get asthmatic as it approaches redline.

even out on the road I didn't really feel a difference until I pushed it over 70.

That stock 3.42 makes a huge difference. The G80 engages cleaner, just makes everything better.

The biggest thing for me though is instant response. A very predictable transmission. and I still love the fact that if I put it in an L and go all the way down to 1 as I slow down it will kick off perfectly matched downshifts with out me constantly slamming the - button. Wish the 8 speed and 10 speed would do that.

My old man had the 460 V-8 in his F-250. I recall being so excited over the massive 245 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. It was a majestic beast that could pull anything on God's green earth.

The current V-6 in Silverado produces 285 hp and slightly less torque at 305 lb-ft.

 

If people could pull anything on God's green earth with the 460, I'm sure the V-6 can handle a boat.

Here is the TSB on the 1-2 shift.

 

I know this was posted some time ago. But this is interesting, just picked up a 2019 Z71 this past December. This has been my experience when I first start the truck and back it out the driveway, and then put the truck in drive. I basically control my throttle and try not giving the truck to much gas until this querk passes basically. The truck drives fine after this.

Bought a 2020 silverado 5.3 new.  8 miles on it.  Has done the 1-2 stall first of the day since new.  Also does the 2-1 clunk approaching a red light.  Had a 2016 that did better but would sometimes shudder like it wanted to cut off at or approaching a stop.  Drivers seat likes to clunk around in the 20 just like the 16 too.

      First time it really happened to me was when I was 69 yrs old and I was called "Old Timer" by a complete stranger. Then in rapid succession came the aforementioned "Old Man" and my favorite of all "Pops".

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

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

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.
