UPDATE:  I contacted GM last week - someone reached out to me today.  We talked for quite a while. So tomorrow I’m taking it into a dealership not affiliated with the previous two. The GM rep is contacting them to let them know what exactly is going on. I’ll probably drive it with the tech tomorrow so the issues can be ‘replicated’. ??

 

Good luck!  I took mine to the dealer with TSB in hand and they came back with it drove normally and told me the hard shift is normal (I didn't have shuttering).  I don't believe they even looked at my paperwork I printed out.  I said fine and shortly after sold the truck for what I paid for it and got into a 2020 6.2L 10-speed RST.  I had my '19 5.3L Z71 for 14 months and 12K miles and that was the only issue I had besides the bed being misaligned.  Sucks that the techs don't listen or care most of the time.  But for me it just so happened to be a great time to sell it and I'm happy with my 2020.  If I would have kept the '19 I would have of course gone back or to different dealers and what not.

It’s ridiculous. Now if it was a recall, they’d get right on it! ?

I hate even saying this but maybe it’s because I’m female?? My stepdad owned a dealership so I was raised and worked in that environment 20+ years. I  did everything but sales & loved it! So I’ve been on both sides of the counter. I’m no expert but I’m not stupid.  

GM gave me a reference number - they said they’d contact the dealer and myself next week to figure something out. 

Lost me with the sentence I bolded. It's hard to take people seriously when they say things like that. The perception that somebody else has it better because of gender, skin color, etc is absolute nonsense. It's a big issue in today's society with BLM, Antifa, "Women's Rights", Democrats, Republicans, etc. Unless you've walked in the other person's shoes you really have no idea. At this point I'd likely tell you to go enjoy your Toyota Tundra. Remember, you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar.

Point taken.
That definitely wasn’t my intention whatsoever and I apologize if it came across that way.

Woman, man, purple alien, whatever, you're smart. It's what's inside that counts. You present yourself as very capable. Don't diminish your capabilities. Imo, it's not me that you need to apologize to, but thank you. You need to believe in yourself, and not lessen your stature in this world.

2019 gmc 5.3,  8 speed transmission 60,000 miles started shuddering at cruising speeds.  Took to local dealership was told fluid was burnt and they found metal shavings. Says it needs to be replaced.  Luckily I purchased extended warranty when I bought this truck because they said the transmission is $7800.

Welcome to the forum. Get it fixed. That extended warranty is going to pay off for you. I would suggest a tranny flush and have then replace the trans. cooler (even if you have to pay for it). The cooler will trap metal and debris that cannot be flushed out.

      Part is $233.87.     Not sure where $900 came from?

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.
