Has anyone tried mounting the AEV transmission skid plate (PN: 57060002AA) with the oem transfer case skid plate still being used on the truck? Would be mounted on a 2025 2500, don't want to buy it on a maybe it will fit with the oem transfer case skid

Download the instructions from their site and crawl under your truck and verify you have the mounting holes. Instructions say "2019-2022 may need drilled" or something like that. Not confidence inspiring since the T1 HD wasn't out in 2019 and if you've visited my AEV diff thread, I've experienced some finite detail slop from them before.

The bolt holes look be in the right places, don't want to delete the GM transfer case skid plate and don't really want to buy a replacement transfer case skid from AVE. Emailed AVE on this issue and they told me the engineers hadn't tried the AVE transmission skid with the GM transfer case skid in place, but they would likely fit together. I expect there's not a lot of motivation by the company to actually try this combo since they are selling both replacement skid plates.

If you want something more robust than the weenie hut Jr Z-71 tcase skid that's still affordable, check out the ZR2 skid. Details are buried in the ZR2 threads in this section.

I'm going to assume after 225 views of this thread, the transmission must not be to likely to get bumped on these trucks when going mildly off-road. Going to shelf the transmission skid ideal.

Scroll to the 2nd page. Need to drill & tap the 2 rear holes.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
