Transmission began to shutter at lower RPM's became more noticeable as time went on. Even cruising on highway, you could feel vibrations and shifting between 1st and second and could hear clunks and thuds and then shudders - the whole truck. After 3 different attempts I finally found the torque convertor or whatever they call it in the transmission shot to heck, leaving slivers of metal all over the fluid and other parts once pan removed. I am totally disgusted with GM.
I bought this truck new, and followed maintenance meticulously yet a 75,000 miles transmission fails. What is infuriating is they knew multiple and numerous reports of transmission problems occurred in these truck for many model years even before my purchase. No one told me about the problem they didn't recall the trucks, yet I find out now bulletins were sent out to mechanics as to what to do if customers came in with the problem.
How can I ever trust GM products, dealers, and mechanics every again. And my service people cannot even find the parts for the repair through GM right now. Have to go to other sources. My truck in tied up so far one week. $3500 dollar repair - this is devastating to families who need transportation or cannot afford a huge outlay like this during these inflationary times.
