Just curious who's got 100k or 200k on their 8 speed? Just getting my truck paid off now and at 74k miles, really worrying about the long-term reliability of the 8 speed and wondering if I should trade now while it's still worth something. Had a new valve body at 18k and the new mobil 1 atf at 54k to solve the shuddering. All good so far since  🤞

Subbed.  I only have 43k on mine.  Had a temperature sender replaced and updated fluid to solve shuttering around 30k.

I don't have the 8 speed I have the 6 speed mine,it is a 2015. Want to keep mine for another year and worry about the same thing

 I'm at 107,000 now still seems to be fine. (I know your question was about the 8 speed....just getting at I worry about the same thing)

Just hit 60K the other day in my 2018 Sierra, 8 speed. Ive got another year and its paid off so I'll probably be about the same mileage as you are right now when that time comes. 😉  Other than the usual noises when going in and out of reverse, I dont have any complaints. Shifting is nice and smooth when she's going.

BTW......which one is has the least problems the 8 or the 6 speed?

The 6 and 10 speeds are both way less troublesome than the 8 speed

I'm at 230 000 km on my 2015.  It's clunky (especially when I put it in reverse) but still doing the job.

Well, I'll chime in here.  On my 2015 8L90 today I passed 350,000 miles .   Its a Yukon XL Denali.  I change the fluid and filter every year. about every 42,000 miles.  Seems to operate well, about 95% of the time.

Thanks.

      Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
