@Agargano98 let us know how it goes getting that fixed. Really sucks man. 

Going to the dealer first thing in the morning.

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.

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.  Hopefuly will be fixed in a week or so.

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.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
