    14 LTZ Shutter/shake/ vibration under light throttle

    Yep, sounds like the afm system is what you are feeling. Couple options: range device will plug in to your obd2 port and keep that from occuring but need to be taken out to pass inspections. It’s around $240 on Amazon. There is a place/guy you can send your pcm to I believe that will turn it...

    Custom Tune Review!

    Thanks for the info Nick! I will mess around with the Tech2 some more for seeing what else I can monitor but probably just plan on doing the valve body. I wanted to try and confirm that before spending the money and time but I’m still not confident in the trans adapt reset which is required...

    Custom Tune Review!

    Its my 2011 6l80 AWD denali transmission. I had it tuned and the tuner seemed to make it a little better but I am trying to confirm what exactly is happening on the 3-2 down shifts as it seems to bang a little when going into gear. This only happens after the transmission seems to hit around...

    Custom Tune Review!

    I just wanted to bump this in case anyone missed it. I am looking for guidance on the how to best use the Tech2 to try and figure my tranny out. Maybe @NickTransmissions is away or I need to put this in the transmission thread but any advice is appreciated.

    14 LTZ Shutter/shake/ vibration under light throttle

    If the GM dealer did the work, take it back and explain the issues to them. A slight metal rattle could be something as minor as a loose heat shield that they bumped or did not reconnect after the TC repair. Vibration, could that be your AFM kicking in and off and its more pronounced now with...

    New front brake and rotor squeal

    Yea I get it I guess I just have never smelled it that much under what I feel like is normalish driving. I’ll see if it does it again this weekend. The info I read on the trans adapt is it would prompt me to perform certain tasks and you would hear the trans go through some tests and make...

    New front brake and rotor squeal

    Well late update but I ended up buying all new pads and rotors and swapped them a couple of months ago with no ill effects or noise, until this weekend. Now they are starting to produce a burning smell when used a bunch. I was trying to heat up the trans to complete a trans adapt reset...

    Custom Tune Review!

    So I know its been a while but work and life have been extremely busy. @NickTransmissions Finally tried to take advantage of a warmer day of 72 and got the tranny temp up and hooked up the Tech2 to try and watch some things but honestly, I could not figure out what screens to watch in order to...

    Custom Tune Review!

    So I took 3 stabs at it back in September and still couldn’t get it hot enough. Every free chance I had it was a cooler day believe it or not it would not stay hot! Then I started working days, nights and weekends and with 5 kids at home including a 8 month old, I don’t have a lot of free time...

    Custom Tune Review!

    Well any other suggestions? Now that’s it’s been cold out I cannot get and keep the trans above 158 degrees. I drove it to VA and back and it was around 123 on the highway and it would go up to 165 in traffic but cool off and then every time I park it, it just cools off lol. I just want to try...

    New front brake and rotor squeal

    We’ll now I’m stumped. I drove the trucks two days and they seemed ok but then once I drove it and they got used more and got hotter, they squeal like crazy. So I took it to a Midas that get great reviews because I needed the tires rebalance and rotated and he said I had the pads in the wrong...

    New front brake and rotor squeal

    Yea I don’t understand what else it could be. Unless my break in procedure glazed the pads? I need to get the tired balanced so I guess I’ll have them take a look. I could try and use sand paper and rough up the pads and rotor? They are new though so I don’t get it.
