    So mostly highway miles. Mostly non towing scenarios. A weak powertrain warranty. A $6200 dollar transmission. A failed starter. A failed thermostat. Probably needs a new battery (we get that) all by 80,000 miles. What a joke this truck has broken down on me 3 different times. How nice the 60,000 mile warranty saved me on the thermostat that failed at 30,000 miles. But not the transmission. The 6l80e in my 2018 silverado was clunky and jerky from the day I bnought it. Should have known. Lesson learned I guess.
    Watch the travel MISadventure I had to deal with getting the truck back home, only to fail once again. My wife's 2011 DODGE NITRO has less rust on it than my truck does and it's 7 years older and has 140,000 miles on it. LIKE GIMMEE A BREAK.
    Let me know your horror stories

    My 2018 Silverado had the same issues. I had 93,000 miles, mostly highway and without mountains. Never towed anything and it had a complete failure that left me stranded 3 days ago, in the same town as your video. They said my repairs would be around $6700. lol. That was my 9th Silverado and it will be my last, Never had any issues with my other Silverado's. The infortunate part is GM knows the 2018 Silverado's have a transmission problem and won't do anything to help the consumer. That's where my loyalty ends!

      @@Kylewraps Almost every guy with a 6L80 that needed to be rebuilt has never changed the transmission fluid & filter (even after confirming that the trans fluid is "burnt smelling") and would rather jump online and complain. They don't do any research so they could find out the transmission cooler bypass valve has had a TSB out for years with a new part that keeps the transmission cooler. 6L80's die because they run too hot. The TSB and new part fix that. Widely known information even back around 2018.

      ​@@karlschauff7989not the case with me. 2015 107,000 miles. Had it flushed around 50,000 miles. Changed out the bypass valve. 3500.00 to rebuild it with 5 year warranty. Has 157,000 now with no issues. Use it to tow a gooseneck and pulled my 5th wheel. 6l80e have issues with cooling the clutches in 3,5,reverse. The rebuild kit includes all this. Be sure to check around on prices and don't go to the dealer and save some money.

    I'm glad I found out about these issues. I am having a few small problems with my 2010 F150 with 113,000 miles and was thinking about trading it for an 18 Silverado near me. It sucks that these aren't as reliable as the older ones (2004 ish) like my grandfather had.

      Gotta change the transmission fluid and there's been a TSB out for years about changing the transmission cooler bypass valve. This guy didn't do either of those things which is why his torque converter clutch eventually cooked itself and filled the transmission with junk. Instead of doing the thing a responsible well-adjusted guy would do, he decided to ignore it, make a youtube video whining about it, and put some junk additive in it instead.

  • @trmiller9772
    @trmiller9772 Год назад +35

    Mine just had the same issue. 90,000 miles and the torque converter grenaded itself on the highway. I heard about this online so I got it into the dealership right away before the debris from the converter completely destroyed the transmission. Luckily, I bought an extended powertrain warranty from the same dealership so I only had to pay $100. However, I will never buy another GM product after I'm done with my Sierra.

    • @tylerross2403
      @tylerross2403 5 месяцев назад

      The main issue is the thermostat valve sticks closed and overheats transmission causing the torque converter to fail, best thing to do is get bypass kit, and also reprogramming better shifting point no slipping from fuel management system. Yeah it's B.S engineering to fail so you have to spend money for repairs, GM used to produce high quality trucks in the 90's and early 00's

  • @TheLouisianan
    @TheLouisianan Год назад +15

    The "no servicing the fluid" thing is a myth and I don't know how it started. The owners manual says to change it every 60k miles I believe, but from what I've read from other people, these transmissions need fluid changes at a way lower interval (more like 30k miles). A common failure mode is the TCC will eventually wear through the Front Cover (which is attached to the flywheel). When that happens, the clutch can't fully engage (where it's job is to give a smooth transmission from Fluid Flow to locking up the Stator). In addition, when GM made the 2014-2018s they changed the programming so that you get TCC slip at every gear change instead of skipping the lower gears like they did on the 2013s and back so this process happens much more frequently than the previous generation. When your TCC doesn't engage you get that clunk sensation.
    Even bigger problem is that metallic dust and clutch material rubbing off over time is getting mixed into your trans fluid and flows into all the galleries, check valves, gears, etc. and will rapidly ruin your Torque Convertor and the Transmission itself. That's why if not caught early, you need a transmission rebuild and you always need to flush the lines going to the radiator as well because there will be metallic and clutch debris in the lines.
    Long story short, post bailout GM cheaped out and won't admit they made a mistake. For that, I hope they go out of business for good and never get bailed out.

    I have a '15 Silverado LT 4X4 with the 6L80 that I got from a Chevy dealer in '17 (lease return) 21K miles. First thing I did was have it tuned by Lew (Diablew) and had AFM disabled (warranty? pfft). I also did some other mods (second battery, subwoofer, exhaust, intake tube etc.). I welded a drain plug to my transmission pan at first service so I do drain & fills every second or third oil change (@4K) which gets about half the fluid. I recently put in a TBV bypass that dropped the temp ~45F (~190F to ~145F). I rarely tow with it but live around mountains. I have 96K currently and so far so good.🤞
    The 6L80 is itself a decent transmission. There are a few things that can contribute to problems. Sonnax's website has a great explanation on the torque converter's weaknesses which can send metal through the transmission. There is speculation the AFM contributes to the failures as well.
    Chevrolet gives as much a sh!t about the consumer as much as the government, which is zero. Sorry you had so many problems. This generation of Silverado had early teething problems, got better, then got worse IMHO.

    Same problem I bought a 2019 Silverado and the torque converter went, got it fixed and not even a 2 days it went again , so I bought the truck from Bob Chevrolet in MD. Took it to my dealership Lucas Chevy in New Jersey and told me they didn’t do it right, fix the problem and so far so good, but I will definitely keep the warranty up for I love the truck.

    I sold my 2016 Silverado 1500 High Country 5 years ago with only 30k miles. I completed a routine engine oil change using the recommended viscosity synthetic oil and a premium filter after 5k miles as I always did. To my surprise, there was an alarming amount of metal in the oil drain pan. I suspected the AFM system was causing the engine to self-destruct. I took it to Chevy who "couldn't replicate the issue". I tried to push them to look a little further into it but I could tell they knew exactly what was going on and were going to wait for the engine to blow up and leave me stranded. I absolutely loved that truck and it was the same color as yours. I would happily drive that truck a million miles. I really wish it was a solid built truck.

    I have a 14 Silverado 2WD. I've known for years the torque converter would eventually fail and much to my surprise I made it to 155,000 miles before I felt the dreaded shutter. I replaced the trans filter and DEX VI at 75,000. As soon as I felt the shutter between 1st to 2nd, I immediately stopped driving it. I just removed, rebuilt, and reinstalled my 6L80. After purchasing the $1400 Circle D 500HP rebuilt kit, a new 1234-35R drum (cracked weld), 2200 stall billet converter, and all the necessary tooling, I spent $2800. I added a drain plug to the pan and will be changing it every 30,000 miles. Tractor Supply has 5 gallons of DEX VI for 58 bucks, shipped to your door. You need the bearing press tools for 6L80 bushings from amazon, a hydraulic press, a die grinder for cutting bushings out, a parts washer (I used a rubbermaid box with simple green and stole dishsink brushes from my old lady. It sucked. Working off jackstands sucks.

    First Chevy 1996 brand new, put 273,000 hard miles before trans went out, never changed the fluid. Second Chevy 2005, put 278,000 no problems with trans. Traded for 2016 111,000 miles, trans goes out. Replaced it last summer at the dealership, now it's doing the same shit again. Looked into it these torque converters are shit. I'll probably get a Toyota next. I've heard nothing but bad news on Chevy, Dodge, and Ford.

    My 2018 had the camshaft/lifter sh*t the bed at 41,000 miles. I heard about the transmission issues and made sure to flush the fluid immediately and again at 75,000 and 100,000 miles. I was just getting close to 120,000 and after reading many articles about the Silverados, I was looking at trading it in for a Toyota last week. Jumped in for a short trip to the store yesterday and had the immediate lurching, slipping, hunting, hard shift and hard down shift symptoms. Turned around to head back home and by the time I got to my driveway the trans was making very audible grinding whining noises. I’ve never ever towed anything. I’ve never driven it hard (I’m 64 years old. My hot rod days are long past) and always maintained it. Water pump failed / replaced. Struts failed / replaced. Drivers side motor mount failed / replaced. Brake front rotors overheated blued / replaced (again never towed anything and I’m not an aggressive driver). I’ve bought 12 different GM Chevrolet vehicles in my lifetime. Very satisfied with all but the last three. Thanks, Chevy. I gave you every opportunity to earn my business..You finally drove me away to another manufacturer. #neverchevyagain

    6 trips to the Chevrolet garage. Then another trip to the body shop. The garage wouldn't replace the rocker panel, with body damage. That Chevrolet garage added $500 to the estimate because the previous GM garage didn't do right.
    Now I have on high risk insurance because the bill was more than $1800

    I hate it for you brother. I bought a 2019 high country with the 6.2 l and it's been nothing but issues. The biggest kick between the legs on my vehicle is that it has problems that I know of as myself is a trained mechanic but it doesn't trigger a check engine light and I couldn't convince the Chevrolet dealership that it had an internal mechanical problem because they hardly even know how to read a scan tool up there. I basically have to wait for catastrophic failure and then fix it myself. Unless I'd like to tear down my daily driver with no backup vehicle to find a bent push rod or a weak valve spring. Chevrolet in Fords are two of the biggest turds you can buy right now. If I had the money to just take a loss on this thing I would just go get a ram truck and be done with it

    Your experience does not parallel with my experience on my 2017 Silverado.
    I had the transmission thermostat fix done at the dealer and tuned out the AFM as soon as I bought it at 77,000 miles.
    It had a great service history and I have the transmission fluid done at every other oil change.
    Still going strong at 95,000.
    Obviously, experiences can be different but, again, for me, no issues with my 2017.

    The drivetrain service interval is 45,000 miles. Also, your starting issue is likely a loose starter cable from the transmission replacement. The jump pack was able to push the extra volts through the loose connection.

    Get a Titan. This ithe year they are making them but i had a 2008 and it was always reliable. Transmission went out at 250k. It was the best truck i ever had. Pulled a trailer for 12 years w it. I have a 2016 Chevy now and its a POS. Transmission went out the first day i had it. New trans put in and it still does a hard repetitious bump shift

    I scrapped my 2015 Sierra in 2017 with 3x,xxx miles. It had a lot of rust, and was having engine issues and transmission issues. Engine was drinking 2 quarts of oil on a 3000 mile oil change. GM said that was normal. The transmission had a very hard 1 to 2 shift. GM did varies fixes for that but it still had issues. GM offered me very little on a trade in so I just scrapped it.

Well after 30,000 miles and 2 quarts per oil change a service tech told me it was normal and the engine is running fine. Well, that conversation pretty much told me, I was done with GM dealers.

    Forget it. The tow truck had to come from Clearfield and everything cost double.
    And the new car warranty company did not pay for any of it.
    So don't believe the TV commercials. They are bogus, and the warranty sucks, and you pay double to get it fixed because it never covers the electrical problems, and 90% of all the problems are electrical!

    I have a 2019 Silverado 1500 with an 8-speed trans. Tons of strange vibrations, subtle sometimes but they are there. Also had extremely and loud hard shifts going from reverse to drive that I believe may have damaged something. Also, slips and hard delayed shifts on rolling stops. A lot of this happened during the pandemic and was impossible to get any work done on it. I've had the truck in for service at the dealership 4 times now totaling about a month and a half I was out of a vehicle(of course no one has any loaner vehicles either). Dealership fixes have been a new wiring harness for the trans, trans fluid flush, reprogramming of the trans computer. All this has made things better, but not fixed. Also, now I've had rear diff fluid leaking. When they opened the diff they found "abnormal wear" on the gears. Replaced gears and and seal. A couple months later diff was leaking again. Seal seems to be holding for now, but still vibrations and shifts that are not right. This has all been extremely frustrating and I'm not sure what to do. I bought another chevy because my 2001 silverado was an awesome truck that I had very few problems with. Now I'm not so sure about GM products. GM needs to make this right.

  • @peteowens3033

    I had the same starting issue when the 2018 I bought used had about 25K on it. Improved for a while after I cleaned and reconnected the negative battery cable ground connection to the frame. GM thought it a good idea to position that directly behind the passenger side from wheel. IDIOTS! Then a few months later it started happening again and left me stranded 4 hours from home on the first day of are vacation on top of a mountain at a rented vacation home on a farm. Lucky for me I had tools with me and found a spot on the farm to jack the truck up enough to remove the right front tire and inner fender to inspect the starter motor and related wiring. Another stroke of luck was my sister had come that weekend too in her car and drove me down the mountain to the auto parts store where I purchased a new starter. I went with one by Mitsubishi instead of AC Delco this time. A few dollars more but IMHO a much better warranty and much better starter! No starting problems at all ever since! I have 42K on my truck now.

I have reached out to Chevy and going to go head on to have my cost reimbursed. These are now known for torque converter failure. Slipping, Jerking etc... Mine gave up while pulling a grade and my high temp trans light came on. Coasted back into town and reached a transmission shop. They told me fluid was burned and stated transmission is toast.
