got a 2019 trialboss....47000 miles. recently i noticed a shifting issues. seems more apparent at cruising speeds, like around town, residential areas. its not a clunk or jerk but almost like a delay or lag. so i called dealership yesterday and happen to talk with the service manager and he told me to bring it down to have it reprogrammed. i initially was a little perplexed and questioned him and he said hes not seen many issues with the new transmission and that with how heavily integrated these trucks are with electronics thats his bet on the issue. he said most issues that he comes across of this nature are a software update, not an actual mechanical issue.  for curiosity i drove the truck down the street in manual mode and i felt like it was not as apparent. Any of this sound familiar to anyone or have any experiences with this. thanks all

Mass production and cost concerns lead to "good enough", but not necessarily the best available. Look at OEM lubes, for example, decent quality, "good enough" quality, but not necessarily the best ava

Enough of this... My 2019 TrailBoss w/ 8-speed goes in to local shop tomorrow and gets full flush and replacement with Amsoil Signature.  Also figured it would be a good time to swap the front and rea

Quick Update... After getting the transmission flushed and all fuilds switched over to Amsoil Signature, the truck does seem to shift and ride smoother.... Could be placebo, only time will tell.

More than likely need the fluid flushed and replaced. Had my done at about 5k miles. Cured my problem. The dealer should know all about this already. There is a bulletin on it for the fluid replacement. Gm is aware of the issue with this.

Occasional harsh downshifts during deceleration = TSB 19-NA-244. Resolution is reprogram the TCM.

Shake / shudder during light acceleration = TSB 19-NA-121. Resolution is to flush fluid and install latest high perf. fluid.

 

 

My 2019 with 5.3L & 8-speed had these two symptoms. Dealer verified symptoms and applied resolutions, now it shifts great with no issues. Hope this info is helpful.

What was your build date if you don’t mind me asking?

I have a 2019 with the 5.3 and 8-speed. I had that done too and it seems to have helped. I still have the morning clunks from cold starts, that part seems incurable.

U joints are good, right? Try heavy fibered grease on the transmission yoke spline. Check diff backlash. IF excessive a slightly heavier diff oil will help. 

 

Spline grease worked on mine. 😉

Eh, I'm no mechanic but I had that issue since the day I bought it, could it be bad from the factory? I had the dealership look at it, reprogram it, and the guy in charge said there was a TSB on it. That was a year ago and I don't think there was that much of a difference in cold starts, but it's a lot better after it's warmed up. Could it be bad from the factory? I know it's over two years old, but it has only 6,000 miles on it.

Mine occasionally has this symptom as well, but not very often. It's covered by TSB 16-NA-361. Dealer instructions are: "Tell customer the first shift of the day may be harsh from 1st to 2nd gear. Compare the customer's vehicle to like vehicles. Do not replace any parts."

 

If I let off the brake pedal a little slower, or keep the brake applied just one or two seconds longer after putting it into gear, the symptom does not occur. Mine seems to occur if I do things quickly, which aligns with the TSB information about the initial clutch fill time.

:dunno:

 

Could be it wasn't greased from the factory

(spline)

Could be anything

Just gave you some ideas

Use what you can

Reject the rest

I found that starting it remotely as I'm walking towards it then driving it when it's warmer alleviates the problem so I'm okay with that. Sometimes I forget and it lurches forward, it's more of a minor annoyance than a big issue to me.

I have almost 18K on my Feb 2019 5.3L RST / 8spd. Just noticed this weekend some weird hesitations in my shifts around 30-45mph when I'm not on the gas very hard - but just lightly. I've learned to live with the 1-2 harsh shifts and the D-R-D clunks. But this is new. 

 

The closest thing I can relate it to is when I had an older car and the engine misfired really quickly leading to a split-second RPM drop and lag. 

 

I'm going to keep monitoring it. I never had the TSB fluid flushed on it, so maybe it's time.

Yep you have the trans shutter, mine didn't show up till around 12,000 miles so I took it in and had the trans flush with the new updated fluid and now its as smooth as butter.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
