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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
