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.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
