Experienced the transmission shudder and had the tranny fluid changed in early Dec '23 with 43k miles. It rode like a dream for about 1,000 miles but is back to it's old trick. Just talked to dealership who said my Powertrain Warranty expired two weeks ago and it needs a torque converter for a truck that has 45,000 miles.  I am so f'ing mad I promise you I will never buy another Chevy and do everything in my power save my friends from a similar nightmare. Did I mention it was a $66,000 truck in 2019 and this is what I get...Has anyone had any success appealing to GM customer relations on this issue?

Just got mine back from the dealership. Took it in for the first oil change at 3300 miles. I reported shuddering @ 3500 rpm on hard acceleration. I had to leave the truck so the trans tech drove it 14 miles without me in the truck. He checked for codes, fluid level, leaks etc. He could find no problem or it didn't act up for him on his road test. I think he was thorough in his inspection however he could not verify my complaint. This issue has not been resolved and I will persevere until it is corrected.  I now have the issue reported/ documented.

I’m really considering not buying another GM truck. Parents Acadia engine went out, wife’s Yukon transmission went coming back from cali last August in Az costing over $10K.
 

I’ve had my transmission cooler line replaced, passenger side lifters replaced, my transmission triple flush with reprogram transmission module.

 

My ‘19 TB is my first truck, so I’m considering other options out there. Just need to do some test driving before my powertrain warranty goes out March ‘25.

I just made a post regarding my transmission issues...

 

In the prior 2-3 weeks I had been noticing this same shudder a lot of you had mentioned. 

 

I didn't know of this new and improved fluid. I also heard that there was a redesigned gear or something for the 10 speed GM had done after issues with backorder delays...?

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
