3.0l Duramax with 1,400 miles on it and during normal driving the transmission shuddered going from 2nd to 3rd and went into limp mode with "Service Transmission" and CEL displayed. I was able to pull away normally (it went out of limp mode) after a stoplight. After 3 power cycles, CEL reset, and all was good.
Two days and 100 miles later, the same thing happened, and now I have these messages...

Messages on the DIC:
"Service Transmission"
"Service Emissions System"
"175 mi Until 65 MPH Max Speed"

 

The dealer pulled the codes and they were for different systems, Trans., emissions, etc.  I've read about the wiring harness issue but the dealer has been unable to find any issue with rubbing on the outside of the harness. They've been working with GM Tech and they want to get into the wiring harness looking for a bad connection/broken wire. The truck was built 12/22 and I purchased 7/23.

 

Are there any TSB's for the wiring harness issue(s)? Has anybody else gone through this? TIA.

these trucks are very complex electronically. An issue like that will require diagnosis by someone skilled at it. If GM tech is involved they will be able to walk the tech through the diagnostics. All it takes is one connector to be wonky to cause several issues. Its going to be a process. As frustrating as it is your patience and cooperation will go a long way with the tech.

Update looks like the issue is between one of the DPF sensors and the Coolant-Flow control valve sensor wiring. Evidently, the sensors share a common wire in the circuit and GM is "thinking" there's an issue there.

The dealer has completed the diagnostic ladder and is taking direction from GM Tech. Two weeks and counting...

It looks like we have a resolution, The dealer found a DPF pressure sensor wire with the insulation (and harness) chaffed. This was in the back of the engine down low, per the dealer "not in the usual place(s)". Supposedly there's a specific procedure to repair the wire and harness. The dealer will also reposition the main engine harness. 

Obviously, I have concerns moving forward as this will be our tow vehicle...

The dealer was great to deal with even giving me a new Sierra Elevation as a loaner for three weeks.

I had the same exact transmission issue (same shift but no service trans) until tonight’s update. Update said it failed, gave me service 4wd, but fixed the trans issue. Drives like a dream now.

I had the same issue with my AT4.  It happened to me 5 times, on I4 going 65-70 mph.  It was repaired 4 times over the course of a year.  It was declared a lemon after the 5th time.  GM then turned around and sold the truck with a 1-year warranty.  I found out today my OnStar info is still associated with the truck.

I switched to a 2024, 5.3 V8.  The truck physically turned off on me three different times when I would pull into my driveway.  

Unfortunately, GM has a serious issue with quality right now. I'm posting now to share story.

      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!
