So I had the 2” gm lift kit installed a little while back.  I’m now noticing a weird shutter when decelerating past the 23 mph mark.  I’m pretty sure this was not happening before the lift was installed.  It doesn’t happen when accelerating just braking/decelerating.  I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 5.3 10 speed crew cab elevation.  Any ideas?

Did the dealer install your lift?

Can't help you with the lift but ask them to do the latest program update that fixes the shudder around 13mph. It's completely fixed my shudder at low speed stopping and at low roms while cruising 45-65mph. Make sure the do the crankshaft sensor relearn.

Yeah.  The dealer that installed it was a joke and I no longer go there.  I brought it to another dealer and they were of no help either…. Might just be Illinois dealers.

 

 I’m looking at the rear blocks on this lift they installed and I notice the shim that was there before the lift was installed is no longer there.  Just a non tapered block.  Do you think that shim should be there?

Thank you.  The dealer said I’m up to date with the latest program.

I wonder if the tech who installed the lift performed the steering recalibration that's an integral part of the lift installation.  If so, I'd think it would be annotated on the service paperwork.  I don't know how not doing the steering recalibration would manifest itself, but it's something worth checking on - just a thought.

The dealer was shady.  The paper work literally only says “customer states to install lift kit PAH” “Tech Jakub Ziarnek installed 84993582 :N-modification KI (06008-84993)”. Nothing else.

It depends on driveline angles but prob not needed with the lift. My stock AT4 has no shims.

Well that’s a relief.  Thank you.  Maybe this shudder isn’t because of the lift 🤔

There was a bulletin out about the shudder.  There is a computer update to correct this.  The shudder may be releated to the software and not the lift.   If it is computer related will will happen when costing and slowing.  It will happen around 13-15pm IIRC

Oh man awesome!  Thank you very much for this info!  I have an appointment with a different dealer next week, I’m going to mention this to him after they look at it.  Thank you again!

So the dealer replaced one of my U-joints and updated the TCM with the latest calibration.  I think the shudder might be a little worse than before.  Another person in the forums said he had a vibration and fixed it by replaced the non tapered block in the rear with a tapered block.  I notice when I shift into neutral the problem isn’t there.  The dealer is blaming the cylinder deactivation and said while in neutral the cylinder deactivation isn’t active which is why it seems to be fixed in neutral.  I feel like if this was normal I would have always felt it and not just recently.  Wish it was some blatantly obvious thing that could be fixed and make it normal again.  Any ideas is appreciated.  Thanks.

Did they follow the directions to the T? Did they do the crankshaft relearn procedure? Ask them to do that one more time, I've seen where someone in here said the first time they did it it didn't fix it. 2nd time they did the relearn it fixed it

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
