i would try the popular Camaro Forums it might have more members that have done the research already on 8-10 speed upgrades repairs etc.. those guys might be more performance and hands on than most me

Can someone else chime in? Did that go right over his head or am I missing something?

Isn’t that part of the purpose of car/truck forums, so that people can share their experiences and advice with others?  ?

That’s why I made this post, I’ve searched for posts with others who lost forward and reverse suddenly in their 8-speed with no overheating issues and didn’t find any.  So I wanted to see if anyone else had encountered the same or similar issue and maybe not posted about it.  Before I started getting the delayed engagement and hard 1-2 shift happening on the trans about a year and half ago, I had no issues with the 8-speed and it shifted great.  That’s why I’m assuming this may be related?

Same guy gave us all grief for trying to get the dealer to fix our clunky leafs and then makes a post asking about part numbers when he takes his to the dealer for...............you guessed it clunking leafs. As far as the 8 speeds, thats the first I have heard of complete failure like that, maybe you can get some help from GM since they know these trannys have alot of known issues.

I hope so, I can’t find a lot of info I n complete failures on these 8L90’s either, especially on a basically stock engine.  Talked to the dealership today, it’s going on their rack tomorrow, so I’ll find out the verdict then. ??

They were supposed to put it on the rack Wed, I drove by Thurs morning and it wasn’t outside anymore, however I haven’t heard back yet.  So hopefully on Monday.

Stop in, say you forgot something in the center console, and need to get in the truck.

Just so you know what is going on, could be good, maybe bad, saw way too many parts on the ground when I saw my 16 with the engine coming out.

So I finally have an update.  They said they pulled the pan and the fluid was black and burnt, even though I’ve never seen over 200* on the trans gauge, and it had the updated flush done last summer.  I asked them what failed, and they said they didn’t tear the transmission apart, based on the fluid and small debris in the pan,, they are replacing the transmission.  GM and the dealership is covering $1800 of the cost, I’m getting a new transmission from GM with 3yr/100k warranty.  I still have to pay $3800, but I can live with that amount for a brand new trans and 100k warranty on it.

Could be worse. Glad it worked out alright for you

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
