Purchased new 24 2500 gas with the 10 speed allison.  Just a bit over 800 miles and discovered a drip at the bellhousing inspection port.  Found a TSB that pertained to the 2020 through 2022 with the exact issues I was experiencing. 

Took truck in for service a few days back and they uv checked to confirm the fluid in fact was transmission fluid which is now confirmed.

Transmission has been pulled however I am being told that the seals they don't have part numbers for so they can't order them.  They tell me the transmission in the gas truck is so new that they don't have the part numbers in the catalog in order to order them.

The service manager has requested that chevrolet approve the install of a totally new transmission in order to get me back on the road.

I hope this new transmission doesn't show up on the carfax report or else the truck will have a substantially deflated value.

Going to the dealer first thing in the morning.

Front cover seal replaced.  Ended up leaking again, and the transmission developed bangs and jerks when downshifting and coasting downhill.  Dealer verified and ordered brand new transmission.  Hopefu

I wouldn't really call it a leak more of a drip.  Sitting still there was never any fluid on the ground that I could see.  My thought is probably more sepage while traveling.

So after a week of sitting at the dealer with the transmission removed from the truck, the dealer finally has authorization to replace the transmission with a new transmission.  No rebuild no remanufactured.  The truck has less than 1k miles.

The service manager says he identified the seals and wanted to replace the torque converter and seal as well.  He says there are no parts numbers available yet due to the year of the truck.  He also stated that he would prefer a new transmission instead of new seals just because of the low mileage.

The transmission will be shipped which takes about 5 days to CT so I'll be without my brand new truck for another week

Not the best picture but this is the inspection port at the front of the transmission adjacent to the oil pan.

Sounds like you have a decent dealer with good service. New instead of repair seems prudent given the newness of the gas-Alison combo. Report back when you have update. Wonder if Chevy will inspect removed transmission to get an idea of what went wrong?

Good evening all.  Just picked the truck back up this afternoon.  

They ended up doing the full transmission swap.  Took a lot longer than I think it should have but I guess that's the ways things work out.

Regardless I had a long conversation with the service manager and he says they really couldn't pinpoint exactly what the failure was because everything looked good by eye.  Obviously the leak was only under pressure which is why I never say any puddles on the ground.

I would certainly hope GM digs in and finds out where the leak was coming from.WWon't sure what year gm stopped installing dipsticks in these trucks but the refill process is rather tedious with these 10 speed allisons.

I wad informed that the learning procedure for the new transmission will feel odd for the new few hundred miles and said to change up driving habits between  town and highway Driving.  There are some harsh shifts at slow speed and some what feels like being bumped from behind by another vehicle. 

I'll check back in a few weeks to let you all know how the shifting settles in.

That's a great way to describe how mine feels when downshifting into first gear approaching a stop sign or stoplight.  It makes nice linear stops kindof a pain.  I have about 400 miles on my truck so far so I'm hoping that improves.  It's going on a 4000 mile RV towing trip pretty much the second it hits 500 miles.  Maybe that'll teach that transmission a thing or two.

I believe the 2020 year they stopped putting a dipstick in. Many of us installed one though using factory parts on our 20-23 trucks. 24 I believe it’s not possible.

4200 miles on mine and I do have a harsh downshift to first on a decline. Not as bad as what my 6L90 used to do, but it definitely has softened up with the abuse I've given the truck over the last month.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
