Hey guys, hopin u can help me out. My 2014 silverado 1500 started a clunk everytime it shifts down from 2nd gear to 1st. A shop near me threw and transfer case (bc it was dangerously low on ATF) and u-joints at it but that did not fix the problem. It also struggles to get going when you put it in gear like something is holding it back or it is trying to pull a big load. Got any advice?

Welcome to the site.

 

So, the shop repaired everything around it, but did they have any idea what is wrong with the transmision?

No, the shop I brought it to doesnt do alot with transmissions. I asked another shop near me that does but they usually throw a reman in cuz it's just cheaper for them and less liability in case they mess something up. I do know my brakes on the front are pert near metal if not metal on metal so I  wonder if they sieze up on that low speed but then are fine when I get to high way speed b/c it coasts really nice.

So what exactly did the shop do?

They threw a transfer case in hoping that would fix it and when u didn't they did u-joints but that didn't fix it either. The transfer case was bassically a ticking time bomb tho b/c it was really low on oil. So that was justified.

I just didn't think that the brakes would do that. My buddies 1500 had metal on metal before I put new pads and rotors on and his brakes never seized just were grinding. But I wonder if the caliper got hot from that bare pad on there and now they just seize instead of letting off after I apply them.

      Is 2027 GMC Yukon Getting a 682-HP Supercharged V8?

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      Would you supercharge the 6.2L on a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali XL with ProCharger?.... 605HP is the stated number without going crazy - it's not the LT4 682HP package, but I'm tempted to install it... This vehicle was ... not... recalled on the engine swap - but I don't really know if that means ...don't do it... or do it;)    Maybe i should start a prediction market pool on it in case it blows up;)   Any thoughts appreciated - I already OWN the supercharger - stopped the installation when the recall was announced and now it's taking up space in storage until I can solve an electrical issue with the vehicle...  4th GMC suburban-equivalent truck - I like them a lot - when they don't a) discharge their batteries randomly, or b) throw a rod at highway speeds;)

      We tested the sleep mode with an ammeter in series with the negative battery terminal - 30amp fused - so we do know the actual shutdown and non-shutdown current draws and timing of the shutdown sequence.  We just have no protocol information to determine what module is issuing the network keep alive.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      TrueBlue...Even if you don't have that info stuff displayed, If Mr. Computer thinks there's something you should know about, it will pop up a warning message no matter what else is being displayed. I keep the speedometer displayed all the time, yet the brake pad message pops up anyway.

      BTW, the 11.5amp draw is all the usual systems active - it's not a single draw - that's the "we're all awake" state of the vehicle - forinstance if the power steps are actuated, the draw will spike to 22amps for that operation.  when the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the vehicle shuts down that one time only - and we see a 10-15minute progression down 11.5  10.5  9. 8 6. 5. 1.6... 500ma... and then off to sleep at 40 milliamp... as expected.  So we know it's a module that is simply refusing to allow the SDGM to proceed to the sleep state.  We do NOT think it is the telematics VIM module - since we already duplicated the problem with the "VIM bypass" solution installed (we reverted that since it also disables the gmc app - but it does not appear that the telematics system is the culprit).  We've replaced the rear heater control module, tested without the wireless charger, and the other modules on CAN Bus 5 - but still something is keeping us awake and removing X2 from SDGM allows sleep to proceed.  We cannot diagnose from OBD since OBD drops off at about the 9volt level in sleep mode and we can't communicate with the vehicle - also we can't trace the SDGM internal packets from the OBD side - we have Autel Ultra.   Any ideas on why disconnecting X2 would allow sleep to proceed appreciated.  This is no longer a repair situation - this vehicie is simply unusable in this condition and NOBODY at GMC Dealer can even understand what it is doing.  This is crazy.  We made these systems too complex and now we're paying the price.

      Did this ever get solved?   I'm chasing 2021 Yukon Denali electrical issues - vehicle will not enter sleep mode - we can disconnect and reconnect the battery and it will sleep - but that's likely because we powered down whatever module doesn't correctly sleep.  once we start/accessory the vehicle and turn off, it will stay at 11.5 amp draw with something keeping the SDGM alive - it appears to be activity on the X2 segment, specifically CAN FD Bus 5 - but we don't know which device and we think we've already isolated all of the devices on that segment - so what keeps the BCM and/or the SDGM alive is unknown.   I don't yet have a packet trace from CAN 5 (and since this Global B we might not get much info from it) - but the vehicle has been down for 8 weeks and previously GMC Dealer was unable to resolve "kills battery" issues with this particular vehicle - so I'm at a loss - it seems to be beyond local repair capabilities - and the number of "telematics keeps vehicle from sleeping" posts indicates this whole architecture has major issues - I hate to say it, but we might have to install a battery cutoff switch on the front grill - one of those red boat switches - to turn off the vehicle.;)  Any pointers appreciated;)  I just bought a CAN FD interface and I'm planning to try Savvycan and Peak Can SW to triage this further.
