There is a valve you can buy that will send the oil to the oil cooler at a lower temp (145 vs 190). Google it, but it, and install it, it’s the best protection from this happening and it’s insanely easy to install. 20 minute job. Also, buy the cylinder deactivation delete device while your at it and save your motor. The 1-1.2mpg increase on your engine using the cylinder deactivation isn’t worth jack…
I heard a transmission guy say that the MDS system causes the torque converter to partially unlock when activated which is causing the torque converter to fail sending metal debris through the whole unit which damages the pump causing low line pressure which burns up the clutches. Just deleting the MDS system might be enough to increase transmission longevity.
Damn I am sorry dude just try to find a good shop and and a good warranty on the new one. I didn't have a choice. Got the transmission for about four and another stack to throw it in I didn't have a choice.

I can confirm. We have a bunch of them in our fleet. It's actually the torque converter that breaks down and sends crap in to the transmission. Therefore the transmission goes out. The first tell tale is a very light jerking or pulsing as you go down the highway at regular speed and try to speed up just slightly to pass another vehicle.

The transmission itself is usually fine until the torque converter goes. If you catch the torque converter failing early, most people can save the transmission by just replacing that part with a stronger aftermarket one. Once the torque converter goes the whole transmission eats shrapnel.
@@claytonsmith6092 well let's place at least some of the blame on the consumer that trusts fluid friction to move their vehicles forward and backwards. The people who make rational decisions still drive trucks from the 90s with clutch friction because they are cheaper to maintain past 100k miles

Drain and filter filter change, not flush, every 30k-60k miles on these will keep them running well. Mileage interval is dependent on usage and environmental conditions
That’s the best way to go, drain and filter change not flush you only do flush if there’s no filter to remove, better spend a little more and it pays in the long run, so you won’t have issues.

My transmission guy said the converter comes apart on the newer gmc/chevys and trashes the whole transmission. so I had him order a billet torque converter at 64k miles and now over 100k still shifting great 🤞
The problem is with the factory thermal bypass valve. Factory valves run to hot(full open at 194f, new valve full open at 158f) -there is a service bulletin for this- burning up the converters. But Chevy/gm have always had problems with heat. Best thing a person can do is change the fluid before the recommended intervals. I change my 07 trailblazer trans fluid every fall and the trans shifts like it is new with 300k miles on it.

PSA: "Lifetime Fill Transmission" is "Lifetime of the warranty" i.e. 100k. Failed at 113k, not surprised. Don't let any dealership or mechanic tell you you don't need to change the fluid. You do. This is for ALL brands, not just GM. Simple drain and fill is all you need (and a new filter). Put 200k on my '14 Cruze TD with a few amsoil flushes and never had an issue.
@Your-Name_ You're incredibly wrong. It's not just Chevy dealers either. I had to fight with a Toyota service advisor who insisted the transmission was factory sealed with fluid that was meant to never be changed.
@Your Name That's the service interval for older Toyota transmissions. Ones that still had a dipstick. There is no service required aside from verifying the fluid level in either the owners manual or maintenance schedule that came with the vehicle.

These can last just as long as a 4L60. The problem is they came from the factory with a bypass thermostat on the trans fluid line that forces it to have an operating temp of somewhere between 196F and 200F. That causes the torque converter failures, valve body issues, loss of gears, etc. Guys on the forums knew about it back in 2014 but word didn't get around too well I guess. GM finally released a new thermostat valve a few years ago that keeps temps down around 160F but most don't know about it. Most owners of 2014+ trucks don't even know enough to change their trans fluid every 30k or 40k miles, so not surprising they don't know about the bypass valve.

A friend of mine who has a 2018 or thereabouts suburban with an 8 spd was told by a GM tech... Weirdly enough it's the V4 that injures the transmission.

Toyota isn't any better. The 2016+ Tacoma was such junk that die hard Taco fans nicknamed the 3rd gen "the turd gen" and consumer reports rated it least reliable midsize truck for like 3 or 4 years in a row. The 2022+ Tundra has engine failures left and right. LSPI is a common issue with engines with a lot of boost and an oil consumption issue. LSPI eventually cracks pistons and destroys crank bearings... which are the common pattern of failure with the new 3.4L TT engine in the new Tundra. Even the Honda Ridgeline has major issues with transmission issues. The torque converter eventually fails if the trans fluid isn't changed often enough -- Honda recommends every 30k miles. Ironically, if GM trucks ow ers changed their transmission fluid that often, those 6 speeds would last twice as long as they currently do, although the updated transmission cooler bypass valve is the part that needs to be installed to prevent GM 6-speeds from destroying themselves but most people are blissfully unaware.

Completely true. I work at a transmission shop. They are all junk anymore. Ive done some with even lower miles. People need to do transmission service about every 30 k. Or less. You cant over service these new transmissions
Depends on what transmission it is. We do not have a flush machine. So what we do is drain and fills. If you are able to change filter. You should. Be carful where you get your filter from. I would only buy from dealer. Aftermarket filters can cause issues. Also only use specified fluid. Most your front wheel drive cars you cannot change the filter without pulling the trans and splitting the case. Because of this and i personal believe the fluids break down faster then what the manufacturers say they do is why i say to change at least every 30 thousand.

That’s interesting because the 6l80 and Ford’s 6R80 were a joint venture between Ford and GM. They licensed a ZF design and worked together to adapt it for American pickup truck needs. However, they only shared the design and they both build their own version. Seems GM must have done a bunch of cost-cutting because the Ford 6R80 is the best automatic transmission ever made. There were some issues with the lead frames but that was a relatively easy and cheap fix. The base trans is fantastic.

Ironic how it would seem, more times than not, that these transmissions seems ot have similar and or recurring problem around that mileage mark. One could then make a suggestion that it is baked right into the code. Makes one wonder if all vehicle manufactures haven't done similar things. Find it ironic how many claim their vehicle starts acting up, throwing codes, within a year or two of the Warranty being up. Obviously not every single one, but enough, a percent, that gets enough people back into these High Overhead Dealerships to make minor repairs, or trade it in on a shiny new one to start the process all over again.
People can try to say these do not the issues but here's a story. So i know 4 people that are clos to me with 2014-18 1/2 ton GM trucks. All of them had transmission issues in under 110k miles. None were used to tow heavy or very often. one failed at 45k, 70k, 108k and the other was a little over 100k. All of them traded them in on Fords...not that they do not have issues but nothing as consistent as those amount of transmission failures and lifter problems.
I do transmission + differential oil changes every 25-30k miles. Been nothing but smooth sailing. Use good oil and do it often. Don't run the truck to 100K miles with the same oil and then complain why the transmission went out 😂 a lot has to do on how you maintain your vehicle.
I have two 2017 express 2500. Both had a minimum of three trans services. Both puked at exactly 150k miles. Both were driven by employees who drive like senior citizens. It's NOT a coincidence.
