Yeah I feel you. I think I’ll bring this up and tell them we will be waiting on doing anything since it shifts fine. Unless they can produce something saying it shouldn’t be. That TSB didn’t seem to allude to doing anything.

On a side note, I want them to replace my driver side mirror again. They recently replaced it to stop a whistle. Now it tastes 2-3 seconds longer to fold than the passenger side. Figure Ill get a good one eventually lol

Ha, I had my driver side mirror replaced last year due to excessive shaking (sounds like another common issue). It, too, closes slower than the passenger side, but maybe only by ~1 second. Hopefully the parts lottery is kind to you this time.

I could handle 1 second. The amount of time it is right now is just too much considering it’s a $75K truck. They may tell me to pound sand though. We shall see.

I see as of today its official that GM will pick up where they left off with once again being able to use the Allision branding collaboration. So with that said our transmissions are great again 🤣

 

If only there had been a proper joint venture from the ground up with the 10L1000 to have prevented design and material short comings and had created a truly bullet proof transmission in the first place.

I saw the news on that and was thoroughly insulted at the marketing speak garbage they spewed out on it. We ALL know how much Allisons involvement in the 10L1000 was and we ALL know how superficial the emblem was/is. The marketing guys are convinced that the emblem being returned will make us more confident and rely more on our trucks because of it. We KNOW IT IS NOT AN ALLISON transmission and the emblem wasn't fooling anyone, when it was there the first time, when it got removed, and now that its back. The curious aspect I want to know is - how many more trucks is that little emblem going to sell? (Hint: the same amount as that goofy number on the back of the Cadillacs)

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
