Hey guys, thinking of trying to prolong the life of this 2016 Suburban I just got. Pretty sure the trans has never been touched on it and I'm at 65,000 miles at the moment.
A buddy of mine recommended the "BG Transmission Fluid" service, which is essentially a tranny flush but they add...
That's why I said it was GM's fix, and not the "ultimate" fix.
It does seem logical - the roof panels on these things are enormous sheets of metal, and not put together like they have been in previous generations of trucks but rather employing a new method for assembly relying on glue...
My mistake! They closed it down! I had no idea until I just looked into it. Sad when you think about all the t-cases that factory cranked out of the last few decades for GM, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, etc.
Fun fact - the New Process plant is right down the road from me in Syracuse, NY (actually Baldwinsville) and was not closed. This plant has cranked out t-cases for decades and still is. NP was bought out by Canadian company Magna but the design hasn't changed. I feel honored to live so close to...
I've been around the automotive world for some time, purchased new and used vehicles and had them serviced under warranty and out of pocket - just as all of you have.
This story enrages me.

As you all can see I'm relatively new to these trucks but from what I've seen and read, this issue has been traced to roof bows not being properly sealed to the roof panel at the factory. Every GM SUV in this line from 2015-2020 *may* end up with the issue. Some do, some do not. Luck of the draw...
I always wanted to do this, too. I remember looking into it when I had an OBS Yukon and the simple conclusion was "no, you can't do it".
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who might have actually done this, as I'd like to try it on my NBS Tahoe.
