Hi all:

 

Been a while as I've had a relatively decent run without incident. Recently started hearing a ticking sound by the front driver side wheel well in my 2019 Sierra 1500 (6.2L with 10 speed). Took it in to my dealer and they isolated to the transmission but don't have a transmission specialist on staff right now. So taking it to another dealer Thursday. Anyone else run into this with their trucks? Doesn't do it on cold starts, just when at normal temps. 

 

I had an engine replacement at 6k miles (27k now) due to the oil cooler line issue; had the whole brake failure issue a couple of years ago as well. Starting to think I need to cut bait on this truck.

Getting the GM run around. One dealer confirms they hear it, but don't have the staff to handle the repair. The second dealer at first claimed its normal operation, so I had to go out and drive the truck to normal operating temperature for them so they could hear it. Sounds to me like the flywheel or perhaps the starter tapping the flywheel. Hearing again they don't have the staff to do the job. So going to a third GM dealer now. What a pain in the ass.

Finally have a diagnosis. The stator shaft support assembly needs to be replaced. Parts on order, hoping to be in next week. No loaners available so currently without a vehicle.

Got it back yesterday. Driving normally post repair, but took it to a Ford dealership for trade in evaluation. I've been a GM guy for years, but this experience has put me off. With the engine replacement, brakes and now transmission this truck has been in for service for over 4 months of my experience. All within 27k miles. I've ordered an F250 platinum with a 7.3L gas engine. Done with this thing.

I'm beyond frustrated... not home a week and the "fix" is leaking transmission fluid on my driveway. Can't get the dealer that did the repair to return my calls either. spacer.png

    • 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.
    • 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
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • 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.
