If the dumb asses would flush it and replace the torque converter it would be fixed and done.

They introduced the 8 speed with the wrong fluid. Fluid draws moisture causes issues.

They changed fluids to Mobil 1 which fixed the moisture issue.

Torque converter is glazed from moisture. Replace it and fluid and all will be solid.

Issue is GM is being a dumb ass.

Jon, what model year did this start happening?

GM refuses to solve the most simple quality problems. I’ve said it on here before, but the reason I quit buying GM trucks is that I had 4 of them and the Last 3 ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUE!!! The clunk in the intermediate shaft of the steering column. And all 3 model years had service bulletins against the issue. So GM, if you know there is a problem, FIX IT! Or just loose customers. I’ll never go back.

Ugh. I was done buying GM when they sold out to the union. I like Fords. My next car will likely be an F150.

Finally, an oil filter and oil drain plug next to each other. Beyond the filter being a vertical mount style, it was a clean & easy change on the 8qrts.

DIC said 65% oil life left left, but I feel the first couple changes are the most important. Mobil 1 full syn. and Mobil 1 filter installed at 3181miles.
What’s going on with that cross member?
