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

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
