First post here -- I own an 06 -2500HD-Std. 5 sd. 10,000 mi.
I see there is an electronically controlled linkage for foot feed.
Ever since I'v had this truck it has been very sensitive to shifting sync; clutch/shift/gas. Also sometimes,(most of the time) drive train noise accompanies.
The shifting is not like older Chev shifting, which was more smother transitioning; clutch/shift/gas. But rather an art almost.
Do you think it could be coming from not having mechanical linkage?

Has anyone else experienced this?

linkages have been gone several years now with no ill effects...i dunno why people fussed so much about the system now..they work great!

 

Then why is there a bunching up feel of the drive train
componets with audible sound when you go thru the gears. I have to really be in artistic form when shifting from gear to gear to make shifts without sound in the drive train.

It seems like there is a in synchonization problem between clutch engagement and throttle response in what should be a harmonious transition from shift to shift.

Are you saying others have had the same complaint or is this just characteristic to the new design?

i've not noticed anything like that...any codes?

 

just be glad you dont have mechanical linkages that can pop off on you going down the road. i had a 74 that would loose linkage going down the road, until i fabbed something up that wouldnt come apart on me.

 

its odd how some customers freaked over a non-cable...I mean,a radio does not use a cable to increase volume,yet it seems pretty reliable.
