When I first got the Denali with the 8sp I wasn't too happy about it. There was a lag in the accelertation and seems it was always looking for gears. Then it developed a clunk noise during acceleration (1st gear). Dealer said they refered to TSB 4452434 and determine the transmission was bad.. It was replaced few weeks ago and the Denali totally feels like a different vehicle. The clunk is gone and the lag is gone. very smooth shifting.
One of the tech told me the first batch of 8spd tranny had issues.
The dealer loan me a 2015 LT Chevy tahoe with the 6spd. Lets just say I'm sure glad I ended up getting the 6.2 w/8spd.
Hello JL -

I don't want to derail this thread too much. Could you double check that TSB again? I couldn't find information on it with a quick search.

Reason being, I'm retaining legal counsel for a few issues I'm having - this being one of the more serious ones. I would like to have this information before I (or my attorney) speaks with GM again.

Thank you!

Considering it's July, has anyone seen a 2017 yet? They usually start rolling July / August.

Dealer told me last week that he just ordered Tahoe for August and the amount that Gm gave him (like 20 plus) more then normal meant he thought this was last month of ordering 2016. He said changes were colors for sure( dropping grey and brown, adding blue and new grey and brown) and possibly 8 speed. But he said still nothing other then that was confirmed. He thought he next order in August would be 2017.
