[@donwalker6781]

EXCELLENT HELPFUL VIDEO!!! As of 2_2020 the current part number for the GM harness that includes the sensor is 24298757 . There have been several updates but this is the lower harness only and will plug and play into the factory case connector pigtail without removing valve body (thankfully). If you have a one piece harness from case to solenoids which I have seen one time, you will have to buy both the case end and this solenoid lower half harness. The valve body would have to come down then. **Do not use aftermarket or wrong type fluid in this beast!!!!

Since at least the mid 2000s GM Truck Trans Fluid has been synthetic. 270F is the start of Coking damage and the Hot warnings to idle Veh. The Internet charts are almost all for conventional crude oil based ATF, where 220F was a damaging range. 270 to 285 Towing on hills, in desert hot weather is where you're having an issue. If there were an issue, your modern truck would have warned you and then went in to limp home if req. There was no issue in the situation you described; At all but better to worry and pay attention than to ignore it or miss it.

Fantastic video. I appreciate your craft! In your experience how often do these temperature sensors last? Couple of years? Or depending on service, like towing a lot? Next question, is would it beneficial to delete the transmission thermostat for longer life, If the sensor failure is due to too hot of transmission fluid, moisture in fluid, etc. why do you think the sensor is failing? Thanks, in advance.

[@TruckNerd]

Good questions. I think this was a poor quality part issue. I had a 2016 this week with 28k on it needed one. Also I have not had to do any a second time, so looks like they fixed the issues. As far as the the thermostat delete, I could see the logic in having the transmission run cooler, but I’m not an engineer. I’m sure they have some reasoning behind it. Thanks for supporting the channel.

[@christopherchisam]

Did this cure the harsh shifting or the shudder? Mine was throwing po711 and po700,its still under warranty and I took it in because it had the rumble strip feeling when shifting. And the dealer told me it needed a new harness to start.

[@TruckNerd]

The transmission shudder is fixed with a transmission flush & the correct fluid being used. The p0711 will require the harness. Sounds like you need both. The flush is uses 20 quarts of fluid and just changing the harness you will use 10. Unless they flush the entire system including the cooler, the shudder will return.

The 1-2 shift the first one of the day is normal. After that I would check for software updates then do a “fast learn” procedure to reset the shift points & drive it to get it to learn them. I’ve had pretty good success this way, but harsh shifting seems to be a characteristic of these.

Trucknerd, you’ve been so helpful, I have a question and cannot find an IM option. Will a half quart of Lucas multi atf do damage to my trans? Story: In my trans fill last night, I had a panic moment in the dark at the end of a day chasing mystery GM parts (yes the GM parts guy said hmmm many times) when realizing I was going to be short on fluid. I added 1/2 qt of Lucas multi vehicle atf In addition to the 6 qts of mobil1 blue label synthetic added to replace the 6qts I sucked out. An additional 1qt was lost in the filter and in the pan when dropped. I then realized I should have just added back a qt of the old 6 I removed. However, when starting the truck and removing the overfill plug, I lost none. I presume I was low to begin with, or just at the mark- who could tell? Have I done harm by adding the half qt of multi and should I buy another box of 6 blue label and keep adding until full or just buy 2 boxes and attempt to flush it all? Other details... ‘16 high country 1500 5.3l w/97k using Dexron6. Lucas says it meet/ exceeds Dexron3. Tech specs says not recommended for Dexron6. I presume dex3 is missing a few components of dex6, tough to research without a chemistry degree. Thanks for your efforts on this channel

[@TruckNerd]

reedrobb I messaged mobile one & ask about the fluid. I specifically asked if if the synthetic fluid would work in a vehicle that requires Dexron VI. They advised the two fluids to not be compatible. If it were me I would have the transmission flushed because the fluid used in these before 12/2018 would need to be changed anyway due to the shudder issue. Google 18-NA-355.

you know if this parts will fit in Chevy Silverado 2007 v6 4.3 new body

[@TruckNerd]

It will not.

[@freddycabanas3582]

Ok thanks for your help

[@arisTVd]

I have the code on the 8L45, it is the same procedure and part numbers

[@javier214dtx]

Can regular mechanic do this or do I have to take it to the dealer? Is this expensive?

[@TruckNerd]

That depends on the capabilities of the regular mechanic. If your vehicle has the two piece harness it’s even easier. If they can change a transmission filter, they can change the harness. This repair should be approximately $500 in most cases. If the whole valve body is dropped it will be more.

[@javier214dtx]

@@TruckNerd thank you for the quick reply. I forgot to mention P0700 & P0711 came up at the same time, does that make a difference or is it related to the same problem. Thanks in advance.

[@TruckNerd]

@@javier214dtx just seen this. Yes. Same problem.

Hoy many quarts of Mobil 1 Oil do i need for the process?

[@reedrobb]

Oel Rincón; My truck doesn’t have a dipstick, I sucked out 6 quarts and lost approx 1 in the pan and filter. Added back approx 8 quarts and it was still low. If you have a dipstick, it’s much easier.

[@CaptStoots]

@@reedrobb how do you know it’s low if you don’t have a dipstick?

GMC Sierra 2013 1500 sle transmission getting overheating

[@kevynjones4888]

Whats the name of the part ?

[@TruckNerd]

Its the transmission control Harness part number 24297369

[@reedrobb]

To add to this description, the error code for P0711 and P0700 refer to the transmission control system and the Transmission fluid temperature sensor A.

[@damocles7230]

Thank you so much, where did you get the new harness?

[@TruckNerd]

From the dealer

[@damocles7230]

@@TruckNerd thank you

[@NoTreadingOnMe]

Same procedure (approx) for the 6L80?

[@TruckNerd]

The 6l80 has transmission control module mounted to the valve body. The temp sensor is internal to the module. So it’s similar in the fact you will have to remove the valve body, but everything else is different.

[@NoTreadingOnMe]

@@TruckNerd Bummer! Was hoping for a two-piece harness for my '16 silverado that I could do myself with ease for the temp sensor. Do you happen to know a part# for the '16 silverado LTZ 4x4 6L80?

[@NoTreadingOnMe]

@@TruckNerd Nevermind, I think I understand that on the 6L80 the thermistor is not part of any harness and is integral to the control solenoid body / TCM and can't be serviced separately. Go GM!

[@tommyfpv5476]

what are the symptoms of a bad one?

[@TruckNerd]

Check engine light can come on, but it takes two failures in a row. Harsh shifts can occur as well.

[@tommyfpv5476]

ok I'm having problems with shifting and the engine revs high like its in neutral with poor acceleration I'm thinking that it might be a bad ecm it's an 2011 gmc sierra 1500

[@TruckNerd]

@@tommyfpv5476 that’s definitely not this transmission.

[@danpal2314]

Thank you

[@TruckNerd]

Dan pal Thanks for watching. GM has now released the the sensor harness separately, so it can be replaced without removing the valve body.

[@danpal2314]

Oh good thanks

@@TruckNerd Thanks so much for making, and posting this extremely helpful video. I have a '15 yukon denali which was just diagnosed by my dealer as needing the trans temp sensor replaced, at a cost of $1,400 (symptom was engine radiator cooling fans were always running on full high speed (fans were on 100% of the time). After seeing your video, I am confident that I can perform this repair myself. Can you please elaborate a bit on the "new" seperate sensor harness? It sounds like this would make the job much easier since you are saying that there is no need to drop the valve body, disengage the pump, etc? Thanks Again!

What year is this vehicle?

Can you post link to where to get it

www.gmpartscenter.net/oem-parts/gm-s-harness-24297369 This is one place to get it. Ebay also has it. I suggest getting it from your local GM dealer in case of any changes.

[@Armany81]

Hello sir I have a 2007 Silverado 1500 4.8 8 cyl. And the transmission heats ups fast then goes into limp mode and the faster I go the faster it heats up. And I took it to several shops and no one seems to know what’s wrong one of the shops installed a cooler and it did not fix the problem another shop installed a radiator and that did not fix the problem they have ran the truck with the scanner connected adn they say the transmission runs fine and it shifts fine too until it goes above 200 it doesn’t want to accelerate right until like next day it accelerates fine and it doesn’t have the check engine light on or does it have codes so I would really appreciate what do you think it could be. I’m just very tired of going to shops putting money into it and nothings fixed I appreciate your time. God bless all of you for posting videos and helping each other out that’s how the world is suppose to be!

Oel Rincón when I am doing a flush I do it first, but you need more fluid if you do it that way.
