I have another post on here about my truck engine missing while under a load which now seems to do it all the time. I wanted to see if this may have anything to do with what is going on with it.

One thing that used to happen on this truck and it seems the problem went away: Sometimes I would put the truck in gear and the check engine light would come on and the truck would shift really hard, I would drive it down the road to my destination and it would set for a bit, when I get back in after 5-10 mins and start it the check engine light would be out and all was back to normal. Anyone ever experience this?

Are there any service bulletins that anyone may know of realating to my issues on this truck, It now has 95,000 miles on it.

Thank you all for you thoughts.

- Oil Consumption

  In the top photo, option E ( the bottom dipstick ), I always find very satisfying for some reason after I've run the engine to fill the filter and after a period of time check the level and see that hard to see translucent oil at the area of the full mark ( and typically check the next morning to confirm the exact settled level ).

  The 6L90 in the 2020+ trucks has several improvements over the 6L90 in other trucks, so the comments made about issues with previous versions may not apply. I have been totally happy with the 6L90 in my 2021 3500 HD. The L8T has plenty of torque over a wide speed range and does not need to be held in a narrow rpm range unless you are towing near the maximum weight. Even then, six gears works just fine. Personally I don’t like what i consider the excessive shifting of most ten speeds, but i have not towed with one of these trucks with a ten speed. If you are buying used I would prioritize condition, miles, maintenance records, absence of stupid unreversible modifications, and towing history as more important than ten speed versus six speed. Make sure you try the seats out before choosing a trim level. I can drive my SLT with the leather bucket seat (premium pkg) option for 8 hours and get out feeling fine. I was uncomfortable in the SLE cloth seats with fold down center seat by the end of a 20 minute test drive. My wife loves the SLT leather bucket seats, too.
