I have a 2023 Sierra 3500 Diesel AT4.  My truck broke down on Aug. 16, 2024.  It is still sitting in the shop. There is no projected date for the part to arrive.  I am waiting for the Transmission Control Valve.  Anyone know what the delay is?

What's wrong with it or do you know?

 

I have a 2021 AT4 3500 and I've all sorts of DEF issues (mostly due to cold weather) but otherwise it's been pretty good.

This time last year it took 6 weeks to get my wife's TCV on her 10-speed 10L80 3.0L Duramax. It ended up failing on their test drive and we waited another 6 weeks to get a whole new transmission. It's sad they haven't built up enough TCV spares on both the 6.6L and 3.0L to stamp out long waiting times. I've thankfully had no drivetrain issues on my '24 2500 6.6L Duramax, but my household is sitting at .500 batting average for failures so I'm skeptical at best with the reliability of these 10 speeds both 10L80 and 10L1000.

I've got one ordered August, another September.  Still no parts.  GM has no published ETAs for it.  

 

All you can do is wait, or trade in and get another truck.

Possibly the latest recall involving this part has something to do with it. They might not have replacements that are not defective yet. 

 

How many miles were on your 23' when this happened?

Depending on the state, lemon law may apply.  If a vehicle is out of service 30+ days during warranty period you may have a claim.  Do some research, if needed serve notice of your intent to the dealer.  Insane that so many people are left without a vehicle for unreasonable amounts of time. That's a failure on GM, and the customer is left hanging.  Especially with HD trucks, many make a living using these vehicles and can't afford to be without for extended periods.

I had breakdown of the TCV as well 2 weeks ago.  Dealer in Ellensberg should have truck to me this afternoon.  14 days to the hour.  My local dealer up here on coast said there were 20 TCV in the US last week in Ohio.  I told Service lady in E-berg this and next day she said mine was on a rush since so new, and she bitched.  You dealer is sucking.

 

  Nextgen diesel is making new parts to update the TCV (which says to me there is a issue if you got aftermarket making parts).  Some videos online it looks very straight forward and guy got it fixed asap instead of waiting weeks or months.

 

FWIW my local dealer said they had not seen any TCV issues in HD...then in last days of NOV 2 showed up in 8 days so now wondering if it's gonna start a wave..  I have not asked how Dec is going.  '23-24 HD seem worse from my reading....but who knows?

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
