    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    If you use a cheaper brand brake pad, this CAN happen. As stated, I use Akebono. I thought that it was high quality enough for me to step down from ASP to ACT, but that is exactly what caused it, and it even kept creaking after I reinstalled with some old ASP rear brake pads that I had laying...

    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    I personally had this issue, and it drove me up the wall. The rear brakes sounded like the old squeaky floorboard of a 200 year old house. I had even taken everything apart, lubed it up, made sure everything was functioning properly, bled the brake system, and it STILL was noisy. What was the...

    2020 Tahoe Premier Smash or Pass?

    Word of advice/caution: if the transmission was not serviced using the severe maintenance schedule, it's a hard PASS. It's not enough to do it right this second; 89k is too far gone and it should have had at least 2 transmission fluid/filter changes by this time. Ask me how I know: I just...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    That's just crazy. I guess it was never maintained.

    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    Final update: Got my truck back yesterday. Engine oil leak was fixed, radiator flushed, trans cooler lines flushed and checked for leaks, and new transmission installed. As for the issue: shuddering is completely eliminated. New transmission shifts slightly hard very rarely, but that's most...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Update: they pressure tested the radiator and transmission cooler, and found no fault, leaks, or any blockages in the cooling system. They recommended to leave the radiator alone. I have it in writing, so if anything happens, it will be on them. Transmission was pulled, and while they are at...

    2020 Tahoe suddenly stuck in 4WD

    2019 Escalade ESV here. I've been driving in 4Auto for 100k miles. I change my front diff fluid religiously, and haven't had it fail. I just prefer driving in this mode, because I find it WAY TOO EASY to spin out the rear when driving in 2WD, even on dry pavement! I can almost do burnouts when...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Update: they've had my transmission since the 8th, even though I've been reaching out to them constantly via email and phone. :rolleyes: I just dropped it off with them, and told them to check the radiator, cooler lines (as they insisted there was nothing wrong with it), but I have an email...

    I feel a clunk from a stop.

    Like everyone said, it's the engine mount. 99% chance that's what it is. It's a DIY job, I did mine myself. Just be prepared to get really dirty and do acrobatics.

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Do you advise changing the transmission cooler lines or can those be reused?

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Genuinely curious, what do you mean by ATF side tank? Here is the radiator in mine. It has the transmission cooler integrated. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7003432&cc=3442504&pt=2172&jsn=1508

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Ok, so just trying to understand. 1. If I am not replacing the radiator, bypass the internal transmission cooler and install my own radiator/cooler for the new transmission. 2. If I want to continue to use the cooler internal to the radiator, replace it. Did I get that right?

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Are we saying that it is common for the radiator to leak? What happens in this case, does coolant mix with ATF and destroy the transmission? Wouldn't I see some evidence of this in the transmission fluid?

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    The transmission was $10k. I don't have another $1k just lying around to further spend on this entire ordeal. I did ask them to flow test the current radiator and cooler lines to ensure no blockage. If I have to shell out another $1k to protect my $10k investment, I'll have to figure it out...

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    I'm getting my 10L80 transmssion replaced next week, as you all know from my other thread. I did not plan on replacing my radiator. Do I have to do this?

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Agreed. This was my experience before mine went down the drain. Again, its failure was mostly my fault because I did not possess the knowledge nor had the tools to do the transmission fluid change. As stated earlier, my new one will get a full service (transmission fluid/filter) every 30k miles...

    2020 transmission died with lots of noise

    There is no 2020 with the 6 speed automatic, at least that I'm aware of. I believe from 2018 on ALL of them are the 10-speed. My transmission in my 2019 Escalade ESV is getting replaced; transmission is on order. Are you sure it's the transmission that failed? Was it diagnosed and confirmed?

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    I did initially, but I just don't want to go that route. Most likely, something is going to be wrong with it in the near future, and I'd go through this all over again.

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    The core charge was $3k.

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Yep, I saw the same thing with this whole debacle. 6-speed and 8-speed transmissions were selling for about half the price. The odd thing I did discover is that most of the 10x80 (x because it's any 10-speed) failures I've read and heard about were the 10R80, which is exactly the same, or 95%...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Agreed. Order placed for new transmission. Waiting game begins now for it to come in and then get it installed. Thanks so much everyone. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes!

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Well good news, the dealership came through and knocked $2k off the total. So instead of $12k, I'm looking at $10k for a new GM transmission, everything installed, out the door. 3 year, 100k warranty.

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    What is a good bi-directional scan tool for this vehicle? I've asked in a number of places, haven't gotten a solid recommendation.

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    They gave me their "report" already, which was completely worthless, unfortunately. Here's what it says. Seemed after they got my vehicle in, the turned their nose and just dealt with me as another number. I spoke to the tech yesterday, and he told me outright that he would *not* drop the pan...
