Common GMC Sierra 1500 problems, and how we fix them
Like the Silverado, older Sierras (4L60E) slip from worn clutches, while 2009+ trucks (6L80) develop torque-converter shudder and valve-body wear, especially towing. Our free diagnostic tells you whether it's a repair or a rebuild, and we build in the fixes for the known weak points.

Worst-case rebuild, and they had it done in a day and a half. The guys worked late and came in early to get me back on the road.
