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.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
