How is it possible for a company to sell a truck like this?  66K miles and now the transmission problems.  Quote from the dealer is $2900 to fix a trans shutter.  The compressor went out last year, back sliding window leaked before that.  I have owned 20+ Chevy trucks and suburbans and this is model is an absolute mess.  By searching the forum and web I see I am not the only one.  Does it help to post with the NTSB or whoever manages recalls of poor quality?

I had same issue and then got a transmission flush at the dealership. Took care of the shutter. My truck also fluctuated RPMs at 50-80mph range, where the speed wouldn't change but RPMS changed. Was thinking my torque convertor was going bad. Just needed new trans oil is all. best of luck. FYI - I paid around 300 for that. I realized the stealership tacked in an extra "diagnostic" fee since I stated it was shuttering. Just a heads-up, if you know exactly what service you're requesting at a dealership they should be able to give you the exact pricing beforehand. So expect to pay under $300 for this trans oil change. Manual says it needs to be done every 60k IIRC.

I also have a '19 that had that problem. Jus bought the truck with under 40k. Had it flushed with updated fluid and its runnin normal now. Cost me about 340 to have it flushed. Would definitely recommend trying that! They told me if that doesnt fix it the converter needs replaced!

Initial charge for me was going to be triple flush, reprogram transmission control module, and reprogram ECU for about $1300. Luckily warranty covered everything except the reprogramming which I pretty much had that covered too with my GM rewards for installation of rebuilt GM transmission for my wife's 2016 yukon slt. That's another story.

Have a 2019 rst with the 5.3 and 8 speed. Check engine light came on, took it to dealer, they did the trans flush and temp sensor. Went to pick it up, started it to leave the dealer light was back on. Now have valves stuck open in the trans and needs a new valve body. Parts on back order and no idk when they will be available. All under warranty still but frustrating that I can’t get parts or even be told when they’ll be available.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
