I have just bought a 2005 Silverado 2500. I love the truck and it gets great gas milage and runs great, but I hear a clanking noise when I shift gears. Like something is loose. (5 speed trans.) I have taken it to my local dealer since the dealer I bought it from is 2 hours away. I have emailed the GM company and they said try another dealer and if I am not satisfied with their diagnoses, let GM know and they will make it right. Most people I talk to say it is normal. I just wonder if it normal or if it is a real problem that GM is trying to avoid. Should we join forces and contact the consumer protection agency or something?

Replying to: azmike07 (Mar 09, 2007 1:16 am) I picked up my 2007 Silverado K1500, 4x4 Crew on Friday, March 9th and noticed the same problem. Rough shift from 1st to 2nd. It had 5 miles on it when delivered. Now at 36 miles the shift is smooth. I attributed the rough shifting to incomplete trans fluid distribution. I have driven the truck at low speeds for last two days and am not noticing any rough shifting now. Chromedome, San Diego

My 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4 x 4 looses power when my transmission temp gets between 180-200 degrees. It only gets hot on the hot summer days or when I tow my boat. There is also an unusual noise(higher RPM?) in the transmission when I take off after sitting a controlled intersection. I get my vehicle serviced on a regular basis. I have yet to take it into a dealer..any ideas?

42,700.. easy on her, no hauling, no towing..all highway miles....just went, no warning. I did have a little ride on slush ice the day before she went, down shifted and upshifted from D to 3 maybe a dozen times. next day, slipping and serious grinding growl. perplexing indeed. My 97 Jimmy Z-71 v-8 4wd has been bullitt proof..I am knocking on wood. Any insight. 06 did start using a new trans type correct?? I have the v-6 vortec WT 4 sp auto 2wd. Uses the new VI fluid type.

Replying to: jsross44 (Jan 29, 2007 7:09 pm) I sold mine after getting tired of beating a dead horse trying to talk to G.M. I took a gamble and bought a 2500 HD with a Duramax diesel and the Alison Transmission, I am very happy with this truck and the transmission is great. but will never buy another G.M 1/2 TON truck again. Good luck
