I clicked on the application tabs for the L-84 and it doesn't even list the 10 speed, just 8 speed, lol. 

I have to have the L-84 though, thanx!

Well what the heck.  I was just looking at something and it showed the 10 speed with the L84.

 

EDIT - it was the 6.2 L87 that lists 10 speed https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l87/

 

I'm not seeing anything on GM Authority that lists the 10 speed with any 5.3!?!?

The day I bought my 2020, I drove from Orlando, to Savannah.  The next day, drove home to So Jersey.  So, a bit more than 4.5 hours run time... ?   So far, with 7000 miles on it in 3 months,

This is completely normal behavior.  The TCM holds the gear during "spirited" acceleration until it knows what your intentions are.  It saves having to upshift and then downshift right away again.

Yea that’s ok lol if your under warranty and don’t have a problem waiting at dealership for them to replace the spring or a new motor. Or better yet it does it when your just off warranty spring break

I apologize - I should have consolidated all of the information from GM Authority into just one single post.  I also don't think GM Authority application information is accurate, as mentioned the 5.3 and 10 speed is only a Sierra option but isn't listed as such at all at GM Authority.

My 2019 with a 6.2L and 10spd has just over 26k on, pulling 35x12.50s for most of its life. No issues at all, love this truck.

The anti-lock brake issue was a pain. I have a few seat squeaks that I’m chasing. Otherwise it’s been rock solid. Half those miles have been pulling a 24’ pontoon, or trailer loaded with ATVs.

Yep.  Valve spring failure test for 6,000 vehicles with a 6.2 engine.  N202319660 Valve Spring Failure

 

Techs are instructed to hook up a laptop and via GM GDS2 set the throttle to 2,000rpm and leave it running for 4.5 hours, checking it every 25 minutes or sooner.  During the test, they have to watch for any leaks, misfires, abnormal valve train noise and check engine light.  If it fails during the test, they have to call GM TAC to proceed with what to do to fix it.  If it passes the 4.5 hour run, they then take it on a 10 mile test drive in manual mode, keeping the engine at 2000-3500rpm.  If that passes, change the oil and ship it/put it back on the lot.  

Wow, that's ridiculous. Why not just replace the valve springs? It has got to be cheaper then all that testing. Plus your adding mile's with wear and tear on a new truck. Not to mention it could blow and cause further damage. Lol, who the heck is running gm these days?

They probably pay a tech 30 minutes versus 8 hours or whatever a valve spring replacement will cost.

Is it that they don't know which springs will fail and which won't?  Some springs good some springs bad?

They sure won’t preemptively tear apart and swap springs on every engine on the lot. Have you seen the window thread? Deal with it when it fails is the name of the game.

Costs them a LOT more $$$$ to do that.  The point of the test is to have it blow, if its going to blow, on the dealer's lot and not while a customer is on a 500 mile trip to see grandma.  

 

4.5 hours of run time at 2500rpm is nothing compared to what GM puts these engines through during powertrain validation.  24 hours at WOT on an engine dynamometer that is simulating a full trailer load up a 6% grade.  It can handle 4.5 hours of elevated RPMs in a parking lot.

Had my 2021 6.2 Trail Boss stall on me after owning it for less than 24 hours. Only 197 miles on the clock. 28° outside and had to wait for 3 hours to get a tow back to the dealer. They noticed a failed spring immediately. Tech said he’ll replace it and it’ll be done Monday. I said nope, you need to replace all 16. I talked to the service manager and he seemed on board. I later said to check the cylinder with a borescope to look for scoring on the cylinder wall. Guess I’ll find out Monday. Talk about a roller coaster of emotion that day. What a pain.

I’m a big fan of GM small blocks. This is not the first time of a parts problem. I’ve owned a few with weak cams and noisy value trains. How about the 5.7 diesel, probably the biggest GM pr debacle ever. I know many people who left GM over that one. The funniest I can think up is Chevy small blocks in Oldsmobiles. I was a Napa counter guy for a few months in the early 80s. Do it yourselfers working on their parents- grandparents olds doing plug changes. What engine is in your olds would bring the angry there better not be a Chevy engine in my olds. I’m gonna sue.

Wasn't that motor an Oldsmobile in the trucks?
My dad ordered one as soon as he heard about them coming out. 1980 Silverado trim 5.7 diesel. Square headlights. That truck was the schitt then.
Lost an injector within the first 500 miles. Otherwise it was a decent truck. You could only tow a fishing boat with it though. It did get good mileage also. Better than the 10 mpg all the other 350's got.
The main reason he bought it was he worked for a sewer and water contractor. They had tanks of diesel on the job sites for the equipment. He would run off road diesel fuel in it for free.
You'd go to jail for that nowadays.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
