2024 Sierra Elevation 5.3 10 speed.

Does anyone else notice a rumble from the transmission when traveling at a steady speed usually low 40’s with the rpm’s around 1200.

actually vibrates my dash sometimes. The dealership say its a characteristic of the 10 speed but it sucks, period.

started around 7k miles and is getting worse. 
I can avoid it by putting the transmission in low and limiting to 9 speed.

anyone else frustrated by this?

Sounds like it’s AFM/DFM kicking in. Shouldn’t be that noticeable though. Some trucks are worse than others. I’ve had a bunch of GM trucks with AFM. My 2019 Canyon with the 3.6L is absolutely seamless, I can’t ever tell when it’s engaged. I had a 2014 Sierra 5.3 that was noticeable, but not annoying. I also drove a 2016 Silverado WT that was noticeable as well, a little more annoying. I tuned it out on that truck. My 2022 Silverado 2.7 is a vibrator tho. It’s noticeable and annoying. 
 

Options are: to live with it, tune it out, limit the trans to L9, or move on. 
 

Sorry for you’re troubles.

Yes I am frustrated by this. I also leave mine in L9. I hate DFM. Still waiting for Range Technologies to start selling a DFM delete. My last Trail Boss 2021 was built without DFM because of the chip shortage.

Thank you for the response but one thing I neglected to mention, this truck does not have any energy management do to the chip shortage.

I’ve been researching this topic recently as i have a low throttle shudder that becomes almost a stutter in low gear shifts. Most posts report dealers replacing torque converters, transmissions and injectors. I’ve read mixed opinions about all them. Currently my 5.3L 10speed is at dealer awaiting torque converter.

What year and model is your truck?

I think I may be starting to feel a stutter in my transmission at 3000 miles. 5.3L 10 speed. Please keep us updated on your situation.

Not just 10 speed. I have a 8 spd 2.7 turbo and between 1k and 1500k rpms if I get on the throttle slowly my dash rumbles/rattles whatever you wanna call it obnoxiously. Has anyone actually found the rattle point or a fix or a dealer that actually looks into the issue?

What I should have mentioned when I started this post is my truck 2023 Elevation 5.3 with the 10 speed transmission has no energy management active due to the chip shortage when purchased in 2022.

when cruising between about 38 and 44 mph and just feathering the throttle it begins a low rumble and it’s pretty annoying especially when the dealer tells me it’s nothing.

i have a new truck that vibrates and it’s nothing haha.

wondering if there is a way to contact GM directly.

someone is hiding something

That sounds like a TC lock-up issue.

Dealer told me the TC had more slippage then specd and replaced the TC.  It did nothing, as I still have the rumble and even hesitation while shifting gears at low throttle.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
