What are people s experience with them and did anyone have a bump from behind feeling and have them improve on this terrible characteristic of drivability ( sometimes it's worse than others and my dealership just saying " yes, it's normal.just how these trucks drive" but I don't buy it...they don't want to waste there techs time to try and diagnose it so I'm looking for help possibly from blackbear tuning if I feel that it could solve this by tuning?

I had that bump from behind feeling when it would shift from 3 to 1 coming to a stop. I fixed it by doing a relearn. Let me dig it up...

Here it is:



Ok it seems to be fixed. Followed the C1 relearn outlined here:
 
http://gm.oemdtc.com/492/transmission-adaptive-functions-and-correcting-low-mileage-harsh-shifts-2015-cadillac-chevrolet-gmc
To Learn C1 (For 6-7 or 3-1 Shift)
 
Pressure & Volume Learns:
Note: It is recommended to utilize a road with a speed limit between of 30-45 mph (48-72 km/h) for this procedure.
 
Shift the transmission into 6th gear with the PRNDM in the M position. Obtain an engine speed between 1000 and 1600 rpm. Maintain this condition for a total of about 5 miles (8 km). Cruise control may be used and has been found to result in faster learning of the clutch values
 
 
Towards the end of the 5 miles I could feel the trans hunting around between 5-6 when cruising around 44mph.
 
 
It's smooth as silk when coming to a stop now. Friggn computers.

I've been dealing with it for 3 months now( bought it used and all dealership knows is "yes it's completely normal")

If terrible is normal then yes it" normal"

And if slot of people complain about it and it never gets fixed then yes it becomes"normal"

Man I can't wait to see if this fixes it!

Serious props to you for helping me out...

Thanks, if for nothing else giving me hope just maybe it's a simple fix b/c it sounds like exact same issue!

Do you remember if when you did this relearn procedure if your tranny would have been up to 131deg f, as seen in attached screenshot?

Supposably it won't start into a learn type mode until it's up to this engineer set temperature...

Ok cool, thanks for the reply.

So when you did this relearn procedure

You just drive in manual 5th gear and maintain the rpms shown for 5 miles and then switch back to "D" and that's it?

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
