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

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.

FWIW My beloved truck used to hit me with a harsh downshift out of the blue while driving in parking lots. But it faded away nicely after about 5-10K mi. Can still reproduce it in specific situations, but its mostly gone. 

 

Slightly off-topic:

The truck used to also have a clunk coming intermittently from the rear leaf pack. This too has mostly faded away but not completely. I would have torqued the bolts up real good by now, except I'm gonna throw them away and install new leaf packs / air bags in two weeks.

 

And while I'm off-topic:

After about 20K mi, the computer has finally adapted well to driving style. While not towing, it now consistently holds a gear during long hill descents. It's unexpected. A big improvement.

I am certainly happy to hear that the transmissions seem to settle down nicely after having some mileage put on them.

Sorry to see other members are experiencing the same drip from the transmission that I did.  I have 400 miles or so since my transmission replacement and so far I don't see any leaks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

A issue that keeps popping up is my front passenger signal has an intermittent not functioning with the fast clicking on the dash.  Repair shop got back to me today and said there is a tsb that came out a few weeks ago for this issue. Evidently it has to do with some sort of programming in the light.  They have a  new light on order and will be replacing the one I am having the intermittent issues with.

Just looked under my 2024 gasser at 1000 miles.

Sorry to hear you are going thru this as well.  I am here in CT as well and ONeils in Avon has been taking care of me.

Sorry to hear all this, fellas. I also experienced the harsh downshifting when coasting to a stop, but it has seemed to stop doing it after about the 1000-1500 mile mark. I'm new to HD trucks and also notice a light, high-pitched squeak or squeal in between shifts, mostly through the first few gears (maybe the road noise masks it at higher gears?). Has anyone else noticed that, or is it normal with these larger transmissions?

That high pitched squeal is the allison transmission just making noise.

Thanks, so are you saying this is a normal noise?

Dealer took a look today, the forward internal cover is leaking around the perimeter.  They ordered a new cover, perimeter seal, and shaft seal.  They topped off my fluid (less than a quart) and sent me on my way.  They said probably a week or two for the parts to come in.

Good to hear they appeared to have found the issue.

this is awesome.  just looked under my 24 duramax and have the exact same image.   I guess they can look at this when they look at the flooded camera and flash the truck so the fog lamps light up.  Really sad we can't get better quality when they want this kind of money for these trucks.  mines just an LT, and i still feel like it was 20k overpriced.  the dash has rattled since i brought it home, and the camera took a poop with about 5k miles on it.....now the oil leak/seals whatever.......this has been an issue at the engine/transmission connection point since before 14' because my old 14 did it from about 60k on, until it was traded......but that was engine oil so i guess this is "different" lol

Please update us.....Did you ever get the new trans?

Sorry, haven't been here for a while.  Yes they replaced the transmission with a new unit.  Almost 1000 miles and no issues yet.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good to hear! Sucks you had to deal with a patchwork "fix" the first time.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
