The grill is the EU version as far as I remember. But why is the SS emblem there?

[QUOTE=Kaizer_911;10401813]Keep us posted. I’ve not seen the new 1st quarter fix yet. I keep looking. I’m willing to bet it’s a TCM recalibration and no Torque Convertor change. Especially since GM has halted replacements for the moment.

8 Speed Torque Converter Shudder – New Service Procedure and New Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP Fluid Regional Rollout

URGENT - DISTRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY
DATE 12/12/2018
SUBJECT 8 Speed Torque Converter Shudder – New Service Procedure and New Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP Fluid Regional Rollout
MODELS 8L45 and 8L90 Applications
TO All Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC Dealers
ATTN Service Manager, Service Director, Shop Foreman, Service Technician, Parts Manager, Parts Counter Personnel, Warranty Administrator, General Manager
A new transmission fluid exchange procedure and new formula of Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP transmission fluid is being released to address torque converter shudder on 8L45 and 8L90 applications. The procedure and new transmission fluid is being rolled out regionally due to the limited availability of both the new transmission fluid and tool kit availability. The dealer rollout was determined by paid warranty claims from TSB 16-NA-175. It is anticipated that the new transmission fluid and tool kit will be available nationwide by late January or early February 2019. Once the new transmission fluid and tool kit is available the detailed service procedure will be loaded into GM Service Information (SI) as a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). TSB's 16-NA-175 and 18-NA-177 will be eliminated from SI. An additional Global Connect Message will be sent to announce these changes.

Selected dealers will receive a separate Global Connect Message this week advising how to obtain the new Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP transmission fluid, delivery of the no charge tool kit from Bosch and detailed service procedure.

The new fluid exchange procedure will require the use of the existing DT-45096 TransFlow machine and tool kit. The tool kit will ship from Bosch at no charge.

The December 2018 Emerging Issues Broadcast, course number 10218.12V will be available through the Center of Learning on Thursday, December 13. The broadcast contains a video demonstrating the procedure on a Chevrolet Colorado and details on the new Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP transmission fluid.

The detailed service procedure may seem complicated at first review. However, we are confident that once you've completed the procedure you will find it relatively easy.

Proper Diagnosis: Sometimes shudder is not caused by the torque converter clutch (TCC). In some instances, shudder is fish bite, chuggle, surge or vibration. Utilizing the GDS and or the PICO Scope will help confirm the issue is TCC shudder. We have seen cases of suspected TCC shudder turn out to be engine performance, tire/wheel vibration or a driveline vibration.

Please do not contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) seeking information on when the new Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP transmission fluid and tool kit will be available nationwide. TAC does not have any additional information.

For those dealers that are not among the initial selected group. Please continue to follow 16-NA-175 and 18-NA-177 until the new service procedure is available nationwide. We are working diligently to get the new service solution available to all dealers and will advise through an additional Global Connect message once available.

Thank you for your cooperation.

So they are replacing the fluid with something different?

That’s what it looks like from what NobleSS posted. Glad someone found the data before I did. Waiting for the steps to post into a TSB or the like.

Not sure how that’s going to help but will see what happens when it rolls out.

Happy New Year!!! I love that detector. In my Camaro I ended up with a mount that sticks directly to the windshield so I could put it high and more out of sight. I use the blend mount in my Cadillac and love it.

Wiring my Camaro was a pain because its a vert and that console area just doesn't drop down.

I’ve hardwired the truck and Camaro with the Gen5DIY Radar Detector Harness. Camaro was super easy. My truck not so much, but I figured it out. My truck doesn’t match their test/video truck, of course.

It’s been raining almost every day currently so not tried it out in the Camaro other than to make sure it powered up with the hardwire cable.

But I’ve been running the Uniden R3 in my truck since this past Sunday and preliminary review is it’s a great Detector. Took awhile to dial in the settings. It has a ton.

My Blendmounts came in today. Sunday project for those, since I work tomorrow.

I will give a more thorough review once I mount the Blendmounts. Of the harnesses, the mounts, and the detector.

I changed the color on the unit to match the Camaro interior. Orange. Lol. And the screen refresh and my camera refresh are similar so that’s why the line is showing up.
