I have 2021 silverado 6.2 ten speed. The problem I'm having is the truck acts like it wants to stall when coming to a stop or going over speed bumps. This started after being  stopped on a hill and when I went to accelerate the truck made a loud bang under the center console. There's also a clacking noise when accelerating at times. Real problem is dealership says everything is fine. My gas mileage is down and so is power.

Sure sounds like the transmission or torque converter. Try a different dealer and demonstrate the condition on a road test with a mechanic. Everything is not fine!

I even went through GM to schedule this appointment. It's the third time I've brought it back and I keep getting told they can't replicate it or everything is fine. Crazy how this happens pretty much everyday I drive the truck.

No codes, no idea whats wrong IMO.

I really do feel like it's transmission related. This truck is really jerky at times and has a noticeable whine after driving for a bit. If going under 40 and take foot off gas it's almost like applying the break and if u just slightly give it some gas it will jerk you back into your seat. After driving for a while theres also a noticeable whining sound.The dealership said they are gonna drive it some more but I have no faith they will find anything.

Check your transmission fluid. Does it smell burnt? Wipe the trans. dip stick on a white paper towel or shop towel, if the fluid is clean thats a good sign. If the fluid is black or burned this points to worn clutch packs, overheating or other transmission damage. Do you keep taking your truck back to the same dealer who cannot verify or fix the problem? Have you road tested and demonstrated your complaint with a Certified Automotive Technician? I would bring your truck into a Dealer or A.S.E. certified mechanic who knows what they are doing and get your truck fixed. It seems like you are wasting your time with your dealership that cannot diagnose a drivability issue.

Looks like I'll be having to take it to another dealership. Losing faith in Gm being able to find anything seems like they only know how to check for codes. This problem happens to me everyday but apparently not when it's at the dealership.

Make them get a tech to ride with you so you can duplicate the condition. Stop dropping it off.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • 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.  
    • 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.      
    • 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.
    • 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?
