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.

 

Thanks, that's encouraging.

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

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.

2019 Sierra 5.3 with the 8 speed trans. At approx 14,000 miles it started slamming into 2nd from 1st and upon stopping at a red ight it would lurch when going from 2nd to 1st. Took it to the dealer with concerns. Bad valve body was the culprit so they changed valve body along with the shift solenoid and transmission fluid and filter change. Only been two days since I got it back it it seams to be shifting the way that it should be.

Mine is a new Sierra 5.3 w/8speed tranny built in June 2021.  I should already have the newest fluid right?

Mine was built in Feb 2019.   Only have 10,000 miles, thanks COVID.  Just waiting for shutters and shakes to bring it in for the new ATF.   Drives smooth right now.  In the back of my mind I’m hoping I got lucky and received the new ATF from factory.   But I know March 2019 was when GM switched over.

The new fluid started being installed in the summer of 2019.


Hopes dashed.  Thanks for the info.   I guess I’ll have to wait for symptoms to appear.  
 

Edit:  The TSB says the cutoff/break point is March 1,  2019.   If they only started using the new ATF in the summer at the factory, are people with build dates between March 2, 2019 to June-ish screwed?

My transmission was perfectly fine right up until 2 weeks ago, then it ****** the bed completely with just under 20K miles. To make matters worse the dealership had to contact GM for the parts and so far haven't got a response so they can't give me any kind of estimate as to when I'll have a truck again.

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.

Id still rather deal with the garage shift and minor harsh shift on a cold start over my f150 trying to activate the ejection seat while it was cold or when it felt like slipping.

Tech at dealer took for it a drive. Immediately knew it needed a flush. Got it done while I waited. I noticed an improvement immediately. Thanks everyone for the input

Did the symptoms (hesitation/shudder) show up one day and stay?   Or did it show up here and there and then eventually became consistent?   I had a few rumbles while cruising around 60km/h.  Happened only a couple of times.   3rd time it happened I slowed down and it went away.  But it doesn’t always happen…yet.

Mine has had the harsh downshift in the past, but only first thing in the morning on cool days.  We were on vacation in Myrtle Beach last week and it started doing it consistently while we were in traffic.  Freaked my wife out that we would break down on the way home to PA.  I just passed 31K miles, so I guess it is time to take it to the dealer.  No idea when I will be able to get an appointment because the dealership was hit by a tornado a few weeks ago, which destroyed half of the service department building.  The other local dealer has been slammed ever since.

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 rear diff fuilds, as well as the transfer case fuild.  Will update will results after a few days of driving.

Please keep us posted.  One customer I know of has had good results when he switched over to AMSOIL fluids in his 8sp.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
