I cannot find anything definitively online.  My 2024 1500 Denali just quit reverse.  Just sits like it's in neutral.  No nothing.  

 

1.  How do i find out if there's a recall or not?

2.  Are parts available?  Is anyone actually getting their trucks worked on or is it just a software upgrade.  I've read the valve body is what needs replaced but some are getting just the reflash

3.  Has this updated valve body made it to the 2026 models?  Or is this still an issue even with the new trucks out on the lots?

 

Thanks

got it, thanks.

 

Only drove 5 miles today wanted to run to Home Depot figured I could do it, even without reverse...  got a little ways away from home and it was acting weird, hunting for gears, then acted like it went to neutral and "check engine" light came on and it said "low acceleration mode"...  limped it home.

Does anyone know if this transmission issue has been corrected on the 2026 models?  I'm half inclined to just trade up and get a new truck rather than mess around with this repair.

There is no 10 speed trans recalI.

 

About a year and half ago when I was shopping for a used truck I'd read a lot about the 10 speed trans problems. I ended up buying a used '23 with 20K miles on it. My logic being that, after 4 or so years, surely they'd have solved the issues. Nope, mine failed the day after I bought it.

 

It does seem logical that the revised valve body would have made its way into the '26's by now, just not sure I'd bet on it.

 

FWIW, mine has been fine after the VB replacement. But I've only put about 7K miles on it since.

so your 23 truck with 20k miles - was that VB replacement done under warranty/no cost to you?  How long did it take?  were the parts available?  Did you get a loaner car? 

 

Thanks.  This has me seriously stressed out.  I use my truck all the time for work driving around to construction sites.  Not having a vehicle is got me worried

Yes, done completely under warranty, zero cost to me. The power train warranty is 5 years/60K miles, whichever comes first.

 

Unfortunately, it took over a month for mine to get fixed due to a shortage of valve bodies. But that was about 16 months ago, I suspect the shortage has probably been resolved. Mostly. The actual time to replace the VB is only a few hours.

 

I didn't need a rental as I still had my car.

Have had 4 valve bodies on my 21 AT4. Last one an upgraded version. Had not had problem since but sold truck. It just did not feel the same. Wanted a 2026 but very worried of a repeat. Loved truck otherwise. 

 

Dealer made me pay for rental 2 out of 4 times. About 1500 bucks total. Contacted GMC. They said it’s a dealer decision.

did your truck have transmission issues each of those times that required the valve body?

 

How long ago did you get the upgraded version?

 

was it a fairly quick fix each time they replaced the valve body?

 

I was thinking about a 26 model also but can't find anything definitive on what was replaced

I read a few months ago that GM had a limited recall on some Diesel 10 speeds (10L1000?), how are the Gas 10 speed (10L80-90) Valve Bodies faring?

Mike, I'd have to guess that whatever changes GM has made to the revised valve body have also been incorporated into the regular production transmissions. But I also thought after 4 years in production they'd have ironed out the bugs (that I did read about) when I decided my 2023 would be a safe bet, and that didn't work out so great, so what do I know.

 

I can't find the long thread here regarding the 10 speed trans valve body so I assume things have settled down.

 I did a long internet search after my trans acted up... trying to find anything anywhere in a news brief or bulletin saying that valve body had been updated....  I can't find anything.  Honestly it still seems to be an issue also

There was a long thread discussing the VB failures, and some folks posted different part numbers of the 10 speed valve bodies, which does suggest the VB's have been revised, perhaps several times.

 

But unless you can get someone from GM to confirm, I can't think of any outside source that can say, definitively, that the root cause of the VB failures have been identified, all new VB's have the necessary fixes, and that those VB's are the only ones now used since MM/DD/YYYY to replaced failed VB's and all new transmissions are built with those VB's.

 

I'm sure there are VB's still failing - there are a lot of the 10 speeds out there, but I think the odds are pretty good that a 2026 will have the revised VB. And FWIW, my son in law has a 10 speed truck with probably 70k-80k miles on it and has never had a problem with the transmission.

mine failed randomly at 58k with no warning signs....

 

Dealer I took it too has not even pulled it in the bay yet and my service appointment was several days ago.  I'm only dealing with GM Customer service on the matter now as the local dealer seems to be incompetent or indifferent

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
