My 2021 Silverado Custom with the L82 and 6 speed has almost 14,000 miles on it. Had fluid and filter changed at 10,000 miles….trans always acts like it slips when shifting into 3rd gear under light to moderate throttle. More noticeable when cold in morning. Not an issue under wide open throttle. Are the torque converters bad in these??32D196F9-D550-4091-9F26-109C0C8CC74E.thumb.jpeg.0ed9baa2797831e2af0db4b9f9a455a1.jpeg

Kyle please post about what the fix is/was for your transmission. I have almost the same truck Trailboss Custom,5.3, and 6 speed trans. I would like to know how this issue gets resolved. I am not aware of any torque converter issues on these trucks but that should affect all transmission gears.

Will do Bikerjon. GM Canada has already been made aware of my concern.

GM forwarded my concerns to GM Canada, and as they have done with our GMC Terrain, they don’t care. Wish I was still back in Florida because GM CANADA doesn’t care about it’s customers.

I would take your truck to your local dealer, see the Service Manager, give him a detailed description of your situation and have him follow up with GM or GM Canada. This truck is still under the powertrain warranty and they need to get it fixed.

 

I still want to know what the resolution was/is.

I’ll keep you posted for sure, just real disappointed in GM CANADA; got a new GMC Terrain on same day as Silverado, and the customer service up here has been bad. I’m use to Florida and Tennessee. My local dealer is good but they seem to blow off my concerns. I’ve been a drag racer and performance enthusiast for over 35 years, so I know a “slip” when I feel it.  I’ll keep you posted. 👍🏻

I will stay on it for sure. It’s an awesome truck! Just want it right so it lasts me. It’s not easy to keep it looking good up here, but I make sure it’s good! Anything you could suggest would be appreciated. Thank you!!13973409-3D02-48C5-A5B8-FC4FAFDAF112.thumb.jpeg.ac3665f2ae7917d8382539de0c7024c4.jpeg

Kyle, I have the same issue with mine.

2021 with the 5.3 and 6 speed. It started out as hard shifts from 1-2 and 2-3 delayed shifts from the same gears. It didn’t do it a lot or all the time, maybe once every couple of months .so I didn’t pay too much attention to it. When it did happen its was normally between a down or up shift and I was either giving or releasing the gas, so I wrote it off. Last Wednesday it started to shutter at low speeds. Again I didn’t pay too much attention to, I thought maybe it was my front tires wearing (35” tires can make some noise and give a slight shudder at low speeds) Thursday it just died, gears will not engage at all. The 6speed has the same issues as the 8 and 10 but they won’t recall the 6 because the say “it’s not a safety issue” 

I had the same Issue with my 2015 Silverado, I won’t buy GM again. You pay 60k for a vehicle you expect to last more then 5 years.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.
