2014 Silverado K1500 5.3L 6 speed auto . Not sure what is going on , transmission shudders when shifting into higher gear at low rpm's . I turn tow/haul on and it eliminates the problem 98% of the time . Can this 4l80E(??) be reprogrammed to hold shift longer without tow/haul on ? The truck had oversized tires on it , took it from 285's to 275's , better ride . Truck runs smooth , the V-8 to V-4 mode works , just doesn't like not being in the tow mode !

Yes, with a tune you can make the transmission shift speeds different.


You could make 6th gear happen at 80mph if someone truly wanted to do that. I suggest a tune to make changes to the shift mph settings and to stop the torque converter from locking in gears 2, 3 and 4 and only allow it to lock in 5th and 6th gear.

tech3 can perform a relearn and a purge, also install trans upgrade files from GM's database. but no adjustability, get yourself the HPtuners system and stop F'n around : )

The HPtuner system seems very complicated , there are many accessories involved and monies to be spent to understand and use one properly . Not my gig . I will find a tranny shop that does use that system though and have them reset my Chevy . Thanks for that input .

Thanks for the advise . This is a used truck and I am starting to think someone has already "tuned" the transmission , will get GM to reset to factory specs and start over .

      Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
