Automatic Transmission failure

Filed Jun 6, 2025 · Fuel system, Transmission · SC

Transmission started shifting weard contacted dealership. They state this unit is not under recall but it is an 6l80 and it is all over you tube and the internet about failures that start with the pm valve and/or the torque converter housing that is stamped but mounting brackets are welded to it causing harded steel to meet stamped steel causing friction and wear that polutes the remainder of the transmission and causes failure before 100000 miles; usually just after 50000ish. When transmission fails it can cause loss of propulsion or collion.

While driving my 2018 Silverado, the 5.4L, 327c.i. engine began idling very rough, shaking and periodically stalling. The check engine light began blinking and it threw codes PO308 & PO301. After compression test & new plugs/wires, it was found that the injectors had open circuits on injector #'s 1 & 8. The only way to replace the injector is through the bank. In this case both banks 1 & 2 were affected. Cylinder #1 is through bank #1 & cylinder #8 is through bank # 2. After removing the intake manifolds and injectors, it was found that the injectors were not providing fuel to the engine causing a misfire on 2 random cylinders #1 & #8. Called the dealer to order parts and discovered they have already been superseded. Original part# is 12698484 and it has been superseded by part# 12710481. Then injectors were replaced & new intake manifold gasket installed w/ proper torque. After repair completed and engine tested, the problem was resolved. Repair shop's invoice will be attached for reference.

The plastic fuel pump module (GM part # 13510918) has cracked. The top flange that rests against the top of the fuel tank has an approximately 3 inch crack. The indications were a failed EVAP Check Engine Light PO442 (Small leak). The vehicle had less than 35K miles at the time. Contacted dealer who stated that it was a common problem. Also contacted GM but they provided no assistance. This crack could lead to fuel leaking from the top of the tank. The issue required the fuel pump module assembly to be replaced.

UNKNOWN I had performed preventative maintenance this evening, fuel filter replacement and noticed after I pulled the fuel filter from the housing and tipped housing back upright, there was what appeared to be brass/gold metal shavings in the bottom of the housing in a little puddle of fuel. If there is metal shavings in the filter, that is a problem. Not sure if it would be fuel pump, or lift pump. Truck runs fine, I do get some hesitation from time to time, but not always. No warning lights/indicators, no water in fuel indicator, or presence of water in fuel. I am worried about safety if metal shavings contaminate entire fuel system, plugging injectors shutting down the truck on the interstate.
