It's True! The GM 10L1000 Allison Transmissions Are Having Major Issues!

[@roadsplorer]

I work at multiple brand dealer, GM and Ram are pretty equal on trans issues. Ford seems to have the least amount of trans issues but cab off repairs are common. The trucks are so complicated, just pick the truck you like and make sure a dealer is close to you. They all will have issues before the warranty expires.

[@polarbear5740]

@roadsplorer Unfortunately you are correct.

Very well said and very sad. These trucks are outrageously expensive to have these issues.

How has the 8 speed behind the 6.4 2500 been in you experience

[@YetiYonder]

Glad I saw this video. Gonna revisit mine. I've got a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW and noticed fluid on the bottom of mine immediately after getting it home from a dealer I bought it from a couple hundred miles away. Took it to my local dealer who I've known and dealt with for nearly 30 years and the Service Manager had me get under the truck while it was on the lift and he told me they had seen this and GM was telling them it would stop after so many heat cycles and it was a seal that expands after doing so. I took it to be true but I'm near my first oil change now and will investigate when lifted shortly. Thank you!

[@maintenancethrottle]

I believe there is some truth to this. I bought a 2024 gasser a year ago and I quickly noticed a leak/drop at the inspection hole cover. I cleaned it up, drove it a week, checked again, looked like residual film, cleaned and have been good since. Now have 13k miles on truck.

[@kevinmeyers3337]

Had single wheel gas exactly same issue had drop same spot at first oil change took back for free insp at 11 k no more drip they said no signs leak said u want see the pic in my phone

[@davecamilleri9411]

I talked to a local service manager who is a gear head like me when they were replacing the EGR valve on my 2023 with 20k. I asked about the transmission issues and he told me lots of valve body issues. He also said that once the valve body is replaced, they haven't seen any comebacks. The shift solenoids in the valve bodies are not serviceable as a separate item, this could be part of the problem, but he also told me that he thinks there was a run of valve bodies with out of tolerance machining causing the issues. I have a buddy who custom builds Allision 1000 transmissions and he told me to check out Randy's Transmission in Salt Lake City, near you! He told me the GM version of the 10 spd has issues with on of the planetary units and that the GM version is bare aluminum where the Ford version is anodized aluminum, there is also mention of some gears in the gm version that are aluminum while the Ford version are steel. Since owning my 23 dually, only one time did I have an issue with the transmission and it was a WOT run on the interstate and it felt like the transmission got gear bound, it hasn't ever happened again though.

[@spedinturtle]

My 2023 10L1000 needed a valve body at 25K miles, dealer said first time they have ever seen that failure in one of those. Only mod is BANKS cold air for now. They way things are built now its all a crapshoot really, pick your poison with the brand. I still love my truck. Love the videos!

[@patrickhamburg8113]

Had all of those problems with my 23 2500. They replaced my valve body one when it went into limp mode. I took the truck in 4 times for the shuttering they told me nothing wrong with it. The oil leak i was told it was normal seepage. The last time I took it in for the shuttering they said they are going to void my warranty because I had the banks cold air intake on it. Aftermarket part so warranty would be void and they refused to look at truck. So I told them never mind not going to have them look at truck. These problems started the first month I had the truck.

[@JKJUSMQTR]

Because it isn't an Allison just Allison branded

[@Reshard834]

[@lucasmancini7415]

I had a 23 l5p and I had a lot of shuttering in that transmission and it seemed to jump all over the place. I was once in tow haul mode coming down a mountain in 6th gear. I tapped the brakes it jumped all the way to 3rd and blew one of my coolant hoses off the heater core. I’ve drove in some that the transmission is great but the one I had was not as good and it was leaking when I got rid of it.

Love my 24. Pulls amazing, but kind of wish I still had my 16 LML. All I ever did was have to replace a glow plug on that truck in the 7 years I had it. My 24 has been at the dealer more than 10 times. 3 different software updates, while now there’s another one that’s due, been limp mode twice for emissions, and there for the tsb for poor fuel mileage (which fixed nothing). Dealt with dead battery 3 times now and had to have it towed while I keep being told everything is fine. Then my mirrors rattle and shake like they are loose, while the passenger mirror glass falls out everytime the door is closed, even when I hit a bump on the highway. Matter of fact, I’m leaving my house in 20 minutes to take it back in for another check engine light for emissions.

What is the TSB # for the fuel mileage? Mine seems normal not towing, but really low towing when compared to my previous Duramax.

There is a very well-known issue with GM transmissions. The value body issue that is causing the transmission to go from 8th to 4th while you are going down the highway. The transmission will skip gears and could cause a complete failure. GM isn't even replacing this $1200 part. They are replacing the entire transmission because they can't make that part fast enough (I'm sure they make that overseas). I've talked with multiple GM service writers about it. I haven't heard of this leak issue yet.

[@454budman]

You can tell they were designed together but both manufacturers kinda took it their own way. Randys transmissions made a video on it and the 10l1000 was made lighter duty than the 10r140 by his opinion

I have a 10R80 10 speed in my 19 Ranger and it's always had a little bit of lag and shuddering when shifting into certain gears it does that because its trying to find the best gear for the best MPG so you get a little bit of shudder. Switch into sport mode and those shudders and delays go away completely.

They had a truck, in one of their dealerships, that had been waiting on a valve body for 3 months. I was stranded and ended up buying a new 2500 High Country. I will be traded it before the warranty runs out.

I had this issue on a 2024 2500 Duramax. (I bought it May 1st 2024) It had Zero mods and truck had 300 miles on it! I took it in to dealer multiple times and they claimed no codes and couldn't get it to do it. I left it for a week and their tech drove it daily but couldn't get it to happen. The truck hesitated hard like missed a shift at around 45-49 mph so 6-7th or 7th-8th gear. The dealer did a software update and re-flash. I took it home and happened again. Called dealer and reported my issue. I was told to keep an eye on it and if you get a light or can make it do it bring it in! Still does it seems to be getting less but definitely causing concern. Still zero mods 3380 miles and I traded it in as I had zero faith in it!

I've got a 22 1500 ZR2 and 2500HD ZR2 Bison, and the transmissions on both seem to be spot on. I think they are solid when towing and always seem to be in the right gear. Never seems to get higher temps either and i pull where it's 110°F in the summer. Neither are high mileage, but if they run 100-150k like my previous rigs, I'll be happy.

10 speeds vs 6 speeds means 4 extra gears that can cause more problems down the line. I'll stick with my 6 speeds. The ZF 8 speed his probably the best transmission out there overall.

It would be pretty wild for Ram to turn the tables with a ZF 8 speed/Cummins Combo and ended up having more reliable transmissions than GM and Ford.

[@davidsullenberger6767]

I've been saving for years to get a new GMC 2500. Now really nervous with the recall for valve body issues and GMC's "fix" of a software upgrade to detect the problem before a failure. That's not a fix, that's a band-aid until it breaks again. Having serious doubts about buying now.

[@matthewanderson9912]

Nice video. Looking forward to a more in depth video on the idash. The tech is probably talking about a shift solenoid and if he is, and if they haven’t changed it, the only way to replace those is to change the valvebody. The 2020 Duramax I use to have had the valvebody replaced and they said it was because one of the shift solenoids were on the “low side” of normal. I assume they are talking about the output voltage. Anyways, my problem was check engine lights that always had the code “lost communication with the TCM”. I had no drivability problems. But I would get a check engine light 2 or 3 times a week. So they said a shift solenoid was on the low side of normal and figured that was my problem. It was not. They also changed the TCM. That wasn’t it. They finally changed the ECM and I think that solved the problem (it went 2 weeks and 4 days without a check engine light which was a record) but I traded the truck. So while I’d say people are having trouble my personal opinion is some of these techs are just throwing parts at it. And so unless I had an actual issue (consistent hard shift or consistent slipping), I would not take my truck back in because again, unless they have changed the design from 2020 if they say it’s a shift solenoid then they have to replace the valvebody to change that.

[@andrewski6563]

I have a 2021 Ram 2500 with a Cummins and my 68RFE transmission just failed at 68k miles. Just had it replaced. I had to rent a truck for a 2500 mile camping trip while it was in the shop. The rental was a 2024 Chevy 2500 with the Duramax. It drove extremely well, but I won't get another truck with a weak transmission. Lesson learned with the 68RFE.

[@danielmorris-ruckett913]

Interesting my 2017 rams original 3500 68rfe had zero issues for two years after hauling 2 decommissioned military humvees for one of my customers up a at least six percent grade from a dead stop into a right turn and immediate high grade. Overheated at the top. Took two years until I had issues. Eventually wouldn't shift beyond 4th without immediately dropping down back to fourth. But still was drivable up to 75 miles per hour without issue. Until I replaced it with a 6 Allison. So I wouldn't say it's weak. But definitely not mean for heavy heavy towing.

[@armedprophet3321]

You obviously don’t know that the 10L1000 is NOT an Allison transmission, it is just endorsed by Allison and has their name on the truck. It’s the same transmission developed by the Ford / GM temporarily collaboration. The difference is the shifting strategy and ECU, many of the parts are parts are interchangeable.

If u remember back couple months ago I told u about the valve body on these transmissions on these trucks but I don’t think it has anything to do with tuning I believe people don’t know how to properly run these trucks. I believe the ones having problems are the guys that stick it in drive with 12,000 lbs or more on the back and letting the transmission run in 8-10 gear putting a strain on the transmission instead of just locking 8-10 out with a load on it but hey I’m not a mechanic I’m just a arm chair QB but that’s what makes sense to me on what’s going on plus I’m in the RV transport industry so I see a lot of haulers that have these transmission siting in the shop waiting on a new transmission or valve body for a month and the guy sitting in a motel about to starve to death waiting on GM to make a decision on there truck

[@marcelo403polo2]

@@jeffjedlick6655 had my '11 Denali Hd until now. Best truck I ever had.Always used fuel additive for extra lube in pump etc.This new AT4X HD got 4 months ago definitely is a downgrade comparing to my old one.

17 to 19 would be the better way to go

Is it mostly diesels?

Got new 24 1500 silverado at dealership now with 11k on it waiting on valve body no eta on parts.

2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 gas 10 speed trans little over 30,000 miles I got it lat in 2023 valve body no good still in The shop ☹️

[@gwendolynbrown9386]

Great Information !

[@jayb7675]

The valve body failure is a hot topic on the forums. Apparently there is an aftermarket fix for it. But like you said, factory parts are a three month or more wait.

[@Philipmoore10]

More info on that aftermarket fix?

@michaelhaley6888 Big shout out to you, bro, seriously! 💯 thanks.

[@Benders25]

Ford and GM are having the same issues with the same transmission, I follow the tow piglet who has put hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles between Rams and Fords and he says that the Fords around 30 to 70K that the transmissions start giving him issues

[@daviddemand6856]

GM has to capitalize on the moment and improve quality to match the price. They need to stop so much focus on EV’s and get back to superior quality on their current lineup.

[@jmack7351]

Half tons definitely having issues lots of our work trucks are down right now.

[@Robs_fitnessmission]

Your bet would be wrong, I have a 23 Denali and low miles. No tuning, lift or any aftermarket mods. Transmission is trash, GM said it’s nation wide and parts and a new transmission are back ordered 6-9 months.

[@riotis54]

Exactly why I bought a 19

[@karlwahlfield6462]

no pto option????????

[@adampecore6917]

I love your reviews, but it sounds like there are zero valid options. Every make and model seem to have issues. What’s left?

[@iantaylor4868]

That's the problem. Ford got involved.

[@alexanderwaddell21]

I have a 2024 1500 with the 10L80 giving me problems

[@notme5909]

So, are the transmissions made by ford and gm? Or are they made by a third party supplier for them?..

[@David-yy7lb]

The Allison 5 and 6 speed 3 piece transmission is far better than that nightmare 10 speed 1 piece transmission

[@what3394]

Are the 10 speed transmissions in the gm 1500s bad too?

[@carlpreston1680]

I've known people to have problems with a Ford version

[@bonifaciopreciado4793]

Nowadays most of the trucks have issues with engine and transmissions and that it’s because manufacturers don’t give a damn about us they just claim as a loss and get credit for everything and We The Peolple get screwed.

[@minig4126]

I got to think they was doing and getting parts from anyplace they could during covid so you see a lot of machining errors and QC problems this affected all the manufactures and those sub par parts were now on the shelves so they got installed but you’d never hear this from the manufacturers lol

[@fit4ya1975]

Im in the market for a 3/4 ton, not sure who to go with this time around. Probably go with a gas for sure. Ford-Not a fan of the new design or how the windows dip down for the mirrors, Ram- Made in Mexico but comfy, GMC/Chevy Best looking but seats are garbage.

[@joseramos7476]

Ram is infamous for transmission problems.

[@fattie2550]

My 2024 GMC Sierra is having transmission issues. Only have 400 miles on it. What a piece of crap truck. Very disappointed

[@marcelo403polo2]

I also regret buying AT4X HD. Miss my Denali HD LML

[@anthonymeyer183]

I believe fords transmission have different valve bodies as well as a different tune
