    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    As these 10 speeds get more miles, I am watching to see if the TC is an issue as it is on the 8 speed. The 8 speed started immediately once in production and continues to this day. Just a few 10 speed TC?/ So nothing near as bad as the 8 speed. Literally the aftermarket has the answer for the 8...

    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    The others were traded out early about 30K, so never did them. My truck now has 31K on it, and my tech said he would do it every 30K. Florida hot, and towing. My wifes 2018 was bought used and it was a soccor mom truck lightly used with 70K. I did it the week we bought it. Magnets were very...

    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    The 10 speeds are pretty darn good in comparison to 6 and 8 speeds. I have had 3 and presently have 2 in the household. Love this trans and owned the others previously. BUT I have read of 2 converter issues and recently had a friend with a 2020 10 speed that the TC fail ( and was noisy) which...

    BMW 530d

    That is about the worst Mercedes made. Total garbage. In general MB is engineered to be worked on and maintained, but not perfect. BMW is made perfect and makes no such provisions for you to touch it in general. Give me a GM vehicle any day...but if its going to be German...Mercedes isnt that...

    BMW 530d

    When I was I Ireland and Scotland 2 years ago there were so many really cool German diesels over there that arent even offered here. Annoying!

    How much trust do you have in the 3.0?

    Oh Man! I have seen pics and had never seen one in person. Not your everyday dog! I was at a St Patricks day parade and a breeder had several full grown wolfhounds. They are GIGANTIC! LOL Suburban with 2nd and third row down no doubt!!

    How much trust do you have in the 3.0?

    We have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, very low maintenance, short hair no smell. Had Shepards for years, i knew what I was getting back into....I just chose to forget....but I have been reminded!!! LOL There is no skipping a day...we just leave the vacuum out. Literally appears to be the smartest dog...

    BMW 530d

    I have owned alot of German cars and had BMWs for years. Always been a GM guy. Now older and more experienced IMHO Mercedes and GM have the best design and most intuitive vehicles. Will never own a BMW again. Always the BMW only things- just complicated and not intuitive. Mercedes is so...

    2017 Suburban Transmission - Early Death!

    It probably started with the torque converter. The 6 and 8 speed should have the TC done as preventice maintenance if you ask me. Because its a guarantee that its going. Recently saw a few 10 speed Tc issues but nothing compared to 6 and 8 speeds. But if not caught it takes out the trans. I do...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    To prove this theory I may drive my truck up on the lift hot, get it to 212 and i bet a little comes out the plug....and then this will be correct.

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Wouldnt it expand more at a hotter temperature?? Meaning at 167 and dripping out its overfilled-- not underfilled because it needs to fully expand at 212 then let it out plug. When it cools it will be underfilled and not come out the drain plug because its not expanded. It will only come out the...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    I did the same change a few weeks ago and used the check plug not the tube and did it at 167 degrees, maybe a little hotter. But not 212. I have not one issue. I doubt the .75 caused a shudder. How many miles on your truck? The 10 speeds have been very robust compared to 8 speeds that had the...

    After a rough Suburban ownership, got a loaded Yukon XL AT4 yesterday

    Exactly!! Jeeze...two totally different generations and trucks. 2015-2020. and 2021-present...and totally different issues known to each generation.

    Buying a 2020 Yukon with L83 5.3L EcoTec - Should I worry about AFM Lifter Failure

    Short answer is this generation of LT motor is not as bad as the present generation 2021+. My GM tech says its was never as bad nor that bad on the 2015-2020. Why we are deleting our 2018 and sticking with it. But you are still vulnerable to it. Only 8 lifters instead of 16 on the new one. So...

    2023 GMC Yukon AT4 6.2L dead at 10K miles

    Really sorry you going through this. Absolutely insane. Proof that its inevitable in the new generation which has 16 of these lifters. Just a matter of time. I dont know how GM is getting away with this? 4 years!!!!! No recall, no extended warranty, no compensation, ridiculous.

    Had to scratch the itch!

    I completely agree having had both. There is no getting used to the CUE system! Touch controls are a pain. The Denali was better and faster to use with dedicated buttons...which was my reason back then for the Denali purchase. Hated the seats though..terrible. We have had several trucks since...

    Had to scratch the itch!

    Yeah, I was really surprised it didnt have a brake controller?? My 17' Denali had it! Yet it says right on the sticker trailering equipment!!! So does it take a special Controller?? No biggie as its the wifes truck I have my 3.0 Sierra for the trailer.

    Frame and other VIN locations?

    There are many locations on the body and frame. They are in different locations on different makes. They are intentionally hidden. The state Police will inspect for free and have a division that does this.

    Had to scratch the itch!

    Congrats!! We just picked up a 2018 ESV and love it. We had Burbs and yukons and Denalis in the past, and have to admit we never considered a Caddy....but honestly its better than out 2017 Yukon Denali we had in the same generation. Enjoy

    3.0 Duramax Camshaft Drive Sprocket Replacement

    ^^^ You have 9 2021 3.0's in service???? If so thats a good barometer?? What oil change interval, and issues are you seeing otherwise?? I look at every carfax i can on higher mileage 3.0's nationwide. No engine work on most everything. Oil changes and filters..thats it.

    REAR MAIN SEAL leak - dealer in ATLANTA?

    Good luck. I feel your pain. But you have the right direction. If they don't have a diesel tech no way I would drop my truck there.
