24000 mi Torque Converter Shudder. Transmission fluid and filter replaced. 
50000 mi The Torque Converter Shudder issue that was apparently fixed two years prior, returned on the truck. The fix included another transmission fluid flush, and a newer fluid (one with less viscosity) was added back. GM has several TSB’s on this issue. The issue has again gone away for the time being, but I will update if it returns.

4526 mi Transmission shift logic is inconsistent for the 1-2 gear shift. Sometimes very soft, sometimes very hard. 
6820 mi Shifting into and out of 1st gear is inconsistent as per last dealer visit. Transmission tech did a TSB “slow relearn” procedure which did not resolve the issue. Condition still present and tech says there is not TSB procedure which will improve the shift quality.
