Trouble Shifting (shuddering/drops power) around 45mph on light acceleration

I have seen some other posts but not sure if there has been a resolution on this topic.  I have a 2024 Chevy silverado 2500HD duramax.  At about 12k miles my truck started having a hard time shifting at around 45 mph during light acceleration.  It loses power and shudders while trying to shift into the next gear (typically a violent jerk).  Sometimes it does it 3 times in a row before actually shifting.  I took it to the original dealer the first time and they said it was a software update but when I got it back, it still occurred.  I took it a month later to a closer GMC dealership and they said they couldn't recreate the situation but ironically, it did it as soon as I left the dealership.  I took it back to the original dealership a month after that and they said it had low transmission fluid from the factory and they filled it up and it was good.  That helped for a few days but after that it started doing it again.  It doesn't always do it but it does it enough to be bothersome.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did was anyone able to fix it?  I called GM customer service and they advised me to take it back in.  I am so sick of having to take it in (it'll be #4 and I am pretty sure they won't fix it).  Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

Well I’m the last guy to diagnose your problem but if you were holding a gun to my head, I’d guess you are experiencing the infamous “valve body syndrome”. 

Please remember, I’m making this guess based on threads I’ve read on this Forum.

Sounds like the valve body issue and you have a 24' model which seems like that year is starting to become really bad for these. Be prepared for a long wait as no parts are available for this and I would stop driving the truck as you can further damage the transmission.

Thanks Chevyfan3.  Just spoke to the dealer and will bring it in again.  They didn't have an optimistic view of what the outcome could be.

No problem. I camped with a buddy of mine over the weekend who is a GM tech and he said the parts are becoming more readily available now and the backlog of trucks waiting for this repair at his dealership she now all gone. The new part # is 24065357.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.
