Silverado Blues Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 I live in British Columbia, Canada. I purchased a 2023 Silverado with a 5.3 last January. Within a month I noticed that the rpm would fluctuate below 500 and go up to about 700, then drop again. Then, I started to notice a shutter when shifting through the gears, and at high speed on the highway. Then my engine started to developed a ticking noise. The truck has 24,000km on it. For months I have been trying to explain to the dealership what the truck has been doing. So, the truck went into the shop, the transmission was replaced, new lifters, they also replaced a cylinder head. I just got the truck back and not even 20min I noticed the rpm was still fluctuating. I would like to return the truck and get into something different but the dealership says they can't just swap the truck. I feel they could if they really wanted too! Has anyone else had problems with their 2023 Silverado 5.3 engine and transmission?

Has anyone else had problems with their 2023 Silverado 5.3 engine and transmission? Welcome to the forum. Lots of problems/ complaints on this forum about collapsed lifters -lifter failure, transmission shuddering while shifting gears and other complaints. You are not alone. I have had my 2023 Trail Boss into the shop twice for the trans. shuddering on the 1-2 and 2-3 upshift under hard acceleration. The dealer did not fix my problem. Last time I brought it in the "Transmission Specialist" stated that he felt the shuddering on the upshift but it was caused by me cutting out the flapper valve in the exhaust system. I did not argue with the Service Writer at that time but he and I know that was a bullsh*t excuse. Search the forum for Lifter Failure, Valve body failure and Transmission shuddering.
