did you add aftermarket airfilter,? try cleaning the MAF?

 

try driving in 5th instead of drive, then try using tow haul if it still hesitant?

Nothing aftermarket, truck entirety stock.

MAF cleaned and then replaced after strange temperature reading.

Manual shifts fine but starting hesitation still present.

Tow/haul doesn't have any effect, except higher rpm.

You need to turn the engine off and with the key on push the throttle all the way down (WOT). It should be around 80-85%. Bottom should be around 10-20% I believe. You won't see 0-100%.

Okay, I got a reduced reading. There is a graph a few posts above yours that shows my absolute throttle position percentage engine-off but key-on and it goes from about 20-48%

When driving the percentage does go up higher than that range.

Sorry I missed that, 2014 were known for bad grounds (especially the one right above the steering wheel in the dash). I feel you have too many intermittent issues here where I'd start questioning the scanner itself. Does the truck run to 5-6K RPM when you go wide open? 48% throttle would feel really really slow even if it hit those RPMs.

 

edit: Here is a video to compare to around how quick it should be gaining speed:

Yes, it will get to 6k rpm on the highway and the throttle position I have seen get to approximately 80%

Update: Took to dealer and they said the torque converter failed and destroyed the transmission along with it. They will attempt a repair or more than likely just replace entire thing.

Glad to hear you/they found the issue. Will GM cover this under the drive train warranty?

The dealer said no it's out of warranty for time even though it only has 33,000 miles on it.

 

I called GM and hopefully they will do something since if I had driven it a normal amount then it probably would have failed within the warranty period.

    • Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.  
    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
