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.

      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. 😉
