Warranty time expired in November. 😞

Still good on mileage, but either doesnt matter due to the 5 years being over.

 

2016 Sierra 2wd

"Shudder" started on the trip home from the last drive.

 

Going to document a few things and list parts replaced, part numbers and photos.

Will do the work myself at home.

 

Torque Converter

Part Number : GM (17804388)

 

O-Ring for Torque Converter Snout

Part Number: SO-23-28, GM-O-9V ???? not sure if correct part number

 

Transmission Filter

Part Number :  GM (24274402)

 

Transmission Pan Gasket

Par Number : GM (24260071)

 

Amsoil ATF

Part Number : ATLQT-EA   *approx. 10 quarts

 

Transmission Thermostat Kit

Part Number : STP-STL010

 

gasket for the transmission oil cooler braket ? *looking into this part now

Part Number

 

Exhaust gaskets *3 bolt from header to mid pipe X2

Part Number

 

Transmission rear seal *for driveshaft

Part Number

 

 

That covers the parts list of items that I know will be required. Updates to the list will happen if I find other MUST DO changes or replacements.


Since the problem started yesterday, driving home for the final 100 miles of the trip, I've parked the truck, and sprayed down bolts with PB Blaster.

Snow called for this week, so it's time to decide part sources, and get things ordered.

 

Updates to come later!

get the 2500 torque converter , its same stall but beefier , it has a 6 bolt  pattern, but fits the 3 bolt flywheel, or get the 6 bolt flywheel too.

 

i would pull the pump while ur there and install the sonax regulator upgrade

Posted

dont forget to get a new o-ring for the pump snout, this is what usually fails and causes all the tcc shudder or no lock up.

 

you'll know its bad when you remove it and its hard as a rock or getting stiff

You also need new bolts for the transfer case bolts as they are torque to yield. Also, I would recomment to get a new gasket for the transmission oil cooler braket. The gaskets for the exhaust pipes should be replaced to.

for all the work your doing, see how much a new pump housing cost,  if it's available from GM.

 

When you pull your pump check the pump face, these wear out heavily when glitter is present in the oil.

 

there is also a special pump aglignment tool I believe required for installation

 

YOu might be better off shipping the whole truck to Precision transmission if your not capable to do all the work

Warmed up enough for me to check the dipstick and make a quick video

 

popped the hood and checked the transmission fluid first. results are the attached image.

 

after checking, started the truck but didnt have my phone to record video. sounded bad for the first 1.5 seconds when i first started the truck.

 

When shifting from P or N to R or D it sounds similar to the stress of a power steering pump at max turn for the first second. *happens later in the video when i shift a few times*

The attached image if the dipstick from the transmission

BLUE = first pulling the dipstick after truck was left for almost 1 week. This was after the 100+ mile drive

GREEN = Second pull of the dip stick

 

No noticeable metallic, even when looking at the dipstick after pulling.

 

I'm guessing the Precision transmission you mentioned above is the one from Amarillo, Tx.

 

Tried calling a few times today, Saturday morning, but havent been able to get them on the phone. 

Would be a bit of a trip from Oklahoma City.

 

So here are my concerns.

- If I have a local GM dealer or transmission shop swap it out for a replacement transmission, I'm looking at 100,000 hopeful carefree miles. most are 3 year warranty on a replacement transmission. *some 6 year warranty

- If I swap it out, going to have to have several uninterrupted hours to do the work. *i'm more likely to win the lotto

- have a local shop rebuild, and loads of risk, as likely no warranty.

 

My use and intentions with the truck include

- sit most of the time. i have my commuter fart 

- around 10,000 miles per year *used for weekend trips / hauling things

- dependable

- responds and drives like OEM.  dont want a stall that is some high RPM.

 

Local GM dealer has trucks with the same transmission issue waiting for replacement. service writer has stated +80% that install a new torque converter and flush the system, after having an issue, are back soon with more problems. Recommends to replace transmission.

 

starting to question replacing the parts and hope that no other issues arise.

those are good guys, maybe Trent can give you a  tcu tune as part of the rebuild.  it'll work out for the better , they got more experience than the GM dealer

In case nobody mentioned, there's a new updated Trans Cooler thermal valve, 153 degrees instead of 190 degrees.

making a few additions to the thread.

 

Shipping the truck from OKC to Amarillo was more than I expected, but there is a work-around.

 

AAA Premier Membership! 

200 mile one way free tow!

So I had to cover the final 50 miles to get the truck to Precision 

Final bill to have it towed to their shop.... just under $250

 

After delivery confirmed from AAA driver, I called the shop and paid the deposit. This was to remove and inspect transmission.

 

Was called on a Wednesday afternoon that the truck was ready. All excited, I let the woman know I would make arrangements that coming Saturday, or the next to pay and collect. 

 

Shortly after, the video of the tear down was made available on youtube.

 

I tried calling their shop multiple times on Thursday and Friday but was never able to speak to them. 😞 no answer each time.

 

Saturday morning!!! The alarm goes off.

I decided to ride my motorcycle and brave the cold. 34 degrees at 6:20am when leaving the house.

Google says 3.5 hour drive time to get to the shop.

I made it just over 1 hour before my face began to freeze. 

 

With the stops for fuel, and a couple to regain feeling in my face and toes, I pulled up to the shop in Amarillo. It's now 11:48am

 

PANIC! 

The shop is closed, the gates are locked, and I'm 30 ft away from my truck.

Made a few calls and a post on facebook... less than 20 minutes later Richard calls me! 

He arrives and we end of talking for a while and he shows me the "dirty bird" and I pay the remainder, along when getting the info on a pan drop/ transmission fluid change at 3K miles. 

 

Drive the truck back home, and pull into the driveway just after 6pm.

 

Long day and took a bit to warm up, but have driven the truck some and happy that it feels like it should. 

Big thanks to Precision for taking on the problem.

 

Hope to have at least another 100k miles without problem!

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
