I’ve got a ‘14 Silverado 1500 with 84,5xx miles on it. It doesn’t do this everyday or all the time but sometimes when it shifts from 1st to 2nd(I think) the rpm’s will go from 2,000 to 2,500 during the shift and then come back down once it shifts. It’s only on take offs and like I said it doesn’t do it every time or even everyday. 
 

Have any of you had this happen?

1-2 or is it 2-3?  Does it most commonly do it say, you drive somewhere, get out and go to a store or say pump gas, and then when you get back in and drive away it does it?

 

2-3 shift flare is oddly enough a normal characteristic of the 6L50/80/90 transmissions.  No fix for that one.

 

If you are flaring the 1-2 shift, then I'd say you've got a possible issue in say the control valve body (delayed valve movement or engagement or shift solenoid) or something mechanical.

I was thinking about this driving back to work from lunch. It is actually 2nd-3rd.  So this is a pretty normal thing.  Seeing post on a group on Facebook has me worried or paranoid that the transmission or torque converter is going to go out.

It seems to do it when I leave for lunch or when I leave to go home from work. Normally that is when I notice it the most.

I've had 4 trucks with a 6 speed, they all did the 2-3 flare.  If you had converter or pump failure, you'd notice shuddering during cruising and acceleration, if it was bad enough you'd possibly lose forward movement as its likely the converter is gone or its failure failed the fluid pump. 

 

6 speed converter failure is common on the 2014-2020 year range however.  If you haven't done so, I'd install either the lower temperature thermal bypass valve or do the pill flip or SureCool bypass kit to allow the transmission to operate at a lower temperature.  

 

Here's the GM bulletin on it:

 

22-NA-185: 2-3 Upshift Slip or Flare 

 

This condition is a NORMAL characteristic of the transmission, it will not cause durability concerns and no repair attempts should be made.

 

At this time this flare condition has been recognized in two different driving conditions:

During the first 2-3 upshift after the vehicle has been sitting, engine off for several hours.

This condition may be caused by air that is trapped in the 3-5-R clutch assembly.

When the first 2-3 upshift is made this trapped air is purged and the following 2-3 shifts will be normal with no flare.

When diagnosing this condition, a garage shift into reverse before drive will purge this air and prevent the 2-3 flare from occurring

This condition is a NORMAL characteristic of the transmission, it will not cause durability concerns and no repair attempts should be made.

Please communicate to the customer this will not impact the designed performance or reliability of the vehicle.

Please share this information with the customer, including a copy of this message.

 

When transmission ATF temperature is at or below 85 degrees F (30 degrees C).

This 2-3 upshift flare can occur until the ATF temperature warms.

If the 2-3 flare is determined to be ATF temperature sensitive use a Tech 2 or GDS2 to make note of the throttle position when the flare occurs

Drive the vehicle to get ATF temperature to at least 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) and then make several 2-3 shifts at the throttle position determined to be the most sensitive to the 2-3 flare.

This will allow the transmission adapts to tailor the shifts and may help to eliminate the cold 2-3 flare.

This condition is a NORMAL characteristic of the transmission, it will not cause durability concerns and no repair attempts should be made.

Please share this information with the customer, including a copy of this message.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
