I would contact a professional transmission builder, they know what the good parts are and where to get them. do your own due diligence..

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

      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.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
