Has anyone heard any news on the dfm for the 6.2 with the 10 spd transmission?

I'm having a horrible time with mine.

What year. I have a late 2019 (made in June). I have both and no issues. What’s it doing?

Misfire or chuggle at any speed, almost feels like the chevy shake but I can feel the trans shifting fine. All tires are balanced and alignment is good. I can put it in low gear and limit the gears to 9 and the vibration is still there but only at about 80% of what it was.

Hoping that its not a drivetrain issue, driveshaft or ujoints..having a hard enough time as it is at the dealership with the cannot duplicate replies.

Maybe a tps sensor as well but getting the dealer to look into it is very challenging  which is sad.

Ya that sucks. P!sses me off when a stealership won’t do there job and fix a vehicle. Especially when it’s under warranty. Wonder if you got into bad gas?  Injector clogged?  My father is mechanic and we got into bad gas in our old dodge caravan and it knocked out 4 of the 6 injectors. Ran horrible. Just a thought

 

I have had none of those issues????
hopefully you get yours resolved. 
 

I did go through the Chevy shake bull$h!t and had to have my 2016 Sierra bought back from GM. That took almost 4 months to take care of but I was glad how My dealership handled it. My 2017 and 2018 had no issues what so ever. Only reason I have this new one was because of 10 spd tranny. Couldn’t stand old 8 spd clunking.

I've been running 93 since purchase (10 miles)

Not saying it couldn't have been that from the first tank from the dealer..and I also use octane boost on every 5th fill up at 1100 miles now.

Try some fuel system cleaner. BG 44K is the strongest I think.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
