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. 👍🏻

Kyle don't give up and don't let them off the hook.

 

If you don't get satisfaction from your dealer P.M me and I will give you another method to solve your problem.

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.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By CPhelps · Posted

      Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By rav3 · Posted

      You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.

      2018 Slverado LTZ failing driver's side engine mount

      By mysery1 · Posted

      I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace

      Linear? No, you are correct. Not linear but it is measurable.    Here is my latest project. The yellow line is the entire Blackstone Historical Universe for this motor platform on the OEM recommended 0W20 oil. Results fall well below the Industry standard (after break-in) of no more than 5 ppm total wear metals. Thus one could reasonably expect this motor to last quite some time on this weight and evidently most do.   One the web site for this platform enthusiast holding on to that warranty report making 200-300K miles but with a good deal of engine issues, heavy oil consumption (by as early as 80K), multiple timing chains and noisy valve gear. So yes, 0W20 will get you there and then to the bone yard. Longest one lasted 400K miles and was on display at White Bear Mitsubishi.    The Orange line is a fellow enthusiast, one I am familiar with, experiment into the heavier grade lubricant of 5W30. He's a Mobil 1 fan changing oil at 5K miles. He's passed 200K with the same timing chain, fairly quite valve train and light use of oil. Something like a cup between OCI's. His compression test are within 2 psi of new. Note lower total wear metals v the 0W20. There is a second fellow on that site with a bit less documentation that just did 300K on 5W30 in this platform that just published his compression tests at 5-8 psi under new. I think there is  good argument there that at minimum bore and piston skirt wear is nicely abated by this heavier choice. He still 50 psi above the factory minimum and very in balance hole to hole.    Light green in Raven, my unit. 5W40. Jury is out on how long it will last as it just passed 50K in under two years. However wear metals are once again vastly reduced. It uses no oil yet and the mechanical valve train is amazingly quite and it runs exceptionally cool.   I would be hard pressed to believe that such a drastic reduction in measured metals does not equate long term to a longer lasting motor.     I only offered the examples I have DATA for and people I actually know and trust. So once again, I'm not telling anyone what I THINK happens. I providing the RESULTS and the context. My batting average would have most testing me for performance enhancing chemicals...wait!...I am!           Now I've ran every Honda with 5W20 but again a high polarity oil with an exceptional HTHS value. High enough to exceed the SAE 30 minimum.    I just ran across an 5W30 with a HTHS value of a SAE 40. And there in Atlas lies the key. It isn't the SAE grade but the actual HTHS values and shear stability index results.    Looking for other outliers we could include those oils so light as to not support Stribeck but work due to enhanced AW chemistries. If you lean on these then the OCI needs to be short enough to not deplete their effectiveness.    The Toyota Crown calls for a 0W8 but as it is not yet sold here in any volume Toyota has cleared weights as high as 0W20 for warranty enforcement. A testament to the absurdity of 'heavy oils damage motors'.    Yes there are a few weird Spray Bore motors that don't like heavier oils due more to the hone finish. Special cases so no blanket statement will stand.
