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.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      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.

      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!
