My 2018 Sierra SLT 4x4 crew cab with 33,000 miles down shifts to first when coasting down long grades, and using cruise. Sometimes when the grade braking is engaged and when it's not engaged! No codes, took it to dealer and they said all was normal. this Is the second time to this dealer. Anyone had a problem like this. Great truck other than this one problem

Is it down shifting to first or to the next lower gear?  Big difference because it will not go to 1st over a certain speed.  It is also supposed to do that when using cruise to help maintain the speed you selected and not go over.

The tach gies over 4,000 , I'm assuming it's first. this is at 50+mph.

Mine does it too. I think it's normal. BTW, that's not 1st gear.

You can defeat this by pushing in the "tow" button on gear shifter for about 5 sec or so. It will rest at next start up.

You'll also see your pil pressure jump from 40 psi to 60 psi

What do you mean by tuner? The dealer had a transmission man with 20 years service they told me to get rid of k&n filter.

I'd get rid of it too. I could never notice any additional power & it'll foul your AF sensor with oil. Noting wrong with OEM filter unless you listen to the sales pitch of K&N.

To each their own but I change my air filter out every 15k.  I just go to Walmart or check Amazon for the least expensive one.  My UOA's show no issues in that regard.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
