Just wondering if anybody has had this issue. After having mine engine oil cooler lines completely replaced today I took a further look at my vehicle and realized that it hard shifts, shutters at 40 miles an hour, and at 70 miles an hour.. it appropriately shifts. Any recommendations. It’s a 2019 Sierra 1500 AT4 had it for 2 months…. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yes take it to the dealer and have them put the new undated trans fluid in, its a TSB and you wont be charged. I had mine done over a year ago and my trans is smooth as butter now.

Ok awesome will do. As soon a I felt it doing this I was like you’ve got to be joking. I lost all hope lol. What is “undated” trans fluid tho. Were you having the rpms fluctuating as well in low 1000’s?

I was getting the same thing you described and the new updated Mobile 1 fluid fixed it. They will flush the old fluid out of the trans and in with the new. Read here.  8-Speed GM Transmission Problems Fixed Via New TSB | GM Authority

So the trucks back at the dealer, said I wasn’t eligible for the flush but they said they may be diving deeper into the transmission. They immediately gave me a loaner so I’m guessing they’re plannning on doing big things.. 😕

Update*** 

min getting a new torque converter but waiting for it to come in since it’s back ordered. With the converter it’s also getting the flush so it can get the mobile 1 trans fluid. And since we’re kinda in a storm I realized now my rear window is leaking hahaha did I hit the GM jackpot?

At least they are addressing the issue and fixing it. As for the rear window, that is a crap shoot it seems but let them know.

Any tips you can give on what you said or what their diagnostic process was?

I have been fighting the same issue. Had the flush already. Basically told me it has to get worse before they do anything. But admitted the torque converter going into lockup when it shouldnt.

Honestly, I have had an amazing dealer throughout this nightmare. Currently it’s getting the torque converter today and fluid flush since the first one didn’t solve the issue but GM is crazy when it comes to warranty servicing even though it’s a known issue and giving problems. My biggest piece of advice would be to find a dealer that is going to advocate on your behalf. I mean there isn’t a class action for nothing. Every known issue with these trucks I have had so far. Next is the leaking back window 😀

But also I would ask them to put it in writing that they are declining repairs so if it gets worse and something else on the trans fail you are covered

So update to the transmission stuff. The kicking jerking hesitation, shudder is back just like before after the torque converter was placed so they once again did a system relearn and want me to drive 500 miles. So far at 75 and it is still doing it have 60400 miles but have warranty from previous repairs from trans

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
