Took an 860 mile round trip this past weekend. After about 4 hours of seven hours driving, started hard shift. Stop and go traffic made it worse. Got to our destination hotel and rested about an hour before going to see family. Fifteen minute drive, traffic lights and hard shift. Weather was cold. Next morning, got on the road to visit family, standard cold weather noise from the rear end, grinding, popping. And guess what, hard shift. Return trip, much the same. Did I mention the rumble at 40-45?

A few days prior to this trip, I was in a parking lot, I backed up a few feet, put the truck in drive, it hesitated and shift was so hard, I thought someone hit me. I've about had it. About eight months ago, the dealer changed the trans fluid. Even though it had the correct fluid. So I'm going to take it back. If they don't make it right, I may have to look into something else. 

Yeah, I know I've posted on this before. And there is a class action lawsuit. But dammit, something has to be done.

Starting to notice a strange "rumble" at city speeds, kind of like a vibration and it goes away when letting off the gas and coasting. Harder shifting too at 28K miles. 2019 GMC SLT. My Neighbors 2019 Denali spent 3 months at the dealer for a new transmission under warranty. He traded it the day it came out of the shop. Both 8 speeds. Just got the truck paid off, hate to have to trade.

You should take TSB 19-NA-121 to the dealer and have them do the ATF exchange if you haven’t already.

Dealer did the TSB ATF change, no charge. Paperwork showed this to be a $371 fluid change to the Mobil fluid. 

Not enough miles yet to really tell but knowing it's done is priceless, lol.

700 miles since the TSB Mobil trans service. Still have the slight vibration feeling around 40-60mph but the jerky shifting has diminished greatly.

Not really related but I didn't want to start a new post. I just changed fluid and filter on my 2019 10-speed at 85k miles and it seems so much smoother.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
