Update: Replacement valve body was installed today at the dealership and it immediately failed. A 3rd valve body has been ordered, but it's on backorder with no new ETA. Another truck is in the same shop and has had the exact same issue. This is beyond ridiculous. GM needs to make this right asap.

Man, this thread really took off. Sorry to hear about everyone having similar issues as I did. I’m about 5000 miles into my new transmission and it’s still running fine *knocks on wood*. Keep pressuri

Quick update - Got GM customer care involved yesterday and advised them when this hits 30 days on 11-30 I will be looking to make a lemon law claim. They called me back today and advised me the valve

As the OG on this thread, first I’d like to start by saying I’m sorry for the people STILL getting dinged with this valve body issue. As far as for me, about 20K miles since the replacement and things

Sounds like something else is going on.  Installation issue (there are some numbers on the valve body required to be entered for programming), or there is further issues within the transmission.

Sounds a lot like what my wife went through on her '23 Suburban 3.0L. We went into limp mode after dropping my 24 2500HD off for some minor cosmetic warranty work. Luckily we were just down the street after dropping my truck. After months of waiting for the valve body and when it was installed the mechanics didn't even get out of the lot on a test drive before the vehicle went into limp mode again. Long story short, we waited several more weeks to get a brand new transmission. The valve body has a high failure rate on these 10 speeds (which is also shared with Ford) and frankly thats a real shame. Thankfully our new Trans works great with no hiccups since.

I was thinking the same thing. I was told there are three manufacturers of these parts and the first replacement was from a different vendor than the original. Seems like a bad design, or some other factors.

That's a bummer, but glad to hear a new transmission has worked out. I think I'm going to ask for that in addition to trying to find out if any type of buyback is an option. It seems like they're able to replace transmissions faster than replacing the individual parts.

Have a 2022 gmc sierra AT4. Brought it in last week after vehicle not going in reverse. Was told it needs a valve body but that they were on back order. How long has it been taking for dealerships to get valve body’s? Located in northern Ontario

What obligation does the dealer have to provide a comparable loaner vehicle while yours is in for these repairs?

Truck in the shop since 3/19 and still no solution from GM yet, hoping for a repurchase at this point.

Truck STILL in the shop now over two months and ZERO cooperation from GM. They have denied a repurchase of my truck even though its spent over 3 months in the shop in the first year of ownership. They are offering a loyalty certificate but that still doesn't cover the cost to get into a 2024 Sierra and we would be out of pocket. Still no ETA on the part arrival at the dealership. This has been quite the experience 😡

My 2022 Silverado Trail Boss has been at the dealership in Southeastern Ontario since April 1, 2024 waiting on a backordered valve body.

My 2023 Sierra 3500 with Duramax and 10spd transmission went into the shop for the 2nd time in less than 1 week.  Truck has 24k miles.  Being told now that Valve body is bad and needs replaced.  Dealer says part on backorder with no ETA.  They referred me to GM to ask for a full Transmission replacement.  GM said they could not authorize that.  Then was told by the dealer that the Tranny's are also on backorder as well with no ETA.  I can't have my truck down as it is used for work daily and I also pull trailers very frequently.  They tried to refer me to a rental agency but rental agencies don't even equip their rentals with tow packages.  This is a known issue that is now obviously a common issue.  GM need to fix this issue and get these trucks back on the road now. Otherwise offer a buyback.  Trucks are specialized equipment that are used for specific purposes (i.e. towing).  Car and SUV loaners or rentals can't replace the specialized need.  This problem is not our problem and GM needs to make it right for their customers who have placed loyalty in GMC thru the years and have purchased $90k plus trucks.

Update:

 

After discussions with a lemon law attorney today, I contacted the dealer to get an invoice of the service record for the valve body. My service advisor had a curveball to throw me: they received approval from Chevy to replace the entire transmission, which includes a new valve body, vice just the valve body. Apparently, it’s way easier to get a whole unit than just a valve body. New transmission will be here in 3-5 days, and a couple days to install. Will keep everyone posted if that fix works (I’m optimistic it will).

I would love to hear about the transmission replacement.  My 2021 Silverado has been at the dealership for 2 months waiting on a back-ordered valve body and no end in site.   I’ve asked for a new transmission and been told no.

Perhaps it's time to start sending emails to the NHTSA and our State Attorney Generals offices until GM decides to step up, as this problem seems to be compounding quickly.  The Service Manager at my dealership told me that 3 trucks came in with these same issues today alone.  Another dealership in the Denver area told me yesterday that they currently have 15 valve bodies on backorder.

      Blend door actuator

      By Charly · Posted

      Trying to replace the temperature control, blend door actuator in my 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500, but can NOT get to it by just removing the under panel on passengers side. It seems like I will need to remove the side panel of the center console, or the entire center console just to get to it- can anyone offer instructions, pictures, videos… step by step so I can get this done!??!! It’s TOO HOT to be without AC!

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
