  1. Uninspiring interior imo. I sent my 16 Sierra back and leased wife a new Terrain Denali while I figure next move out. No offense to any current owners but between the mirrors on the doors and the interior I was done. The Ram inside and even the Fords are blowing Chevy out of the water and the Denali has So much plasticky chrome on the front I can't stand it. The radical departure i was hoping for was not the slap on mirrors. Not to mention I was never happy with the ride of my Sierra and the reviews are app about how unsettled the 19s are over minor imperfections.
  2. Bump.. auction for the new front liners ends in 7hrs.. used ones pictured here are still for sale
  3. bump.. the brand new ones are on Ebay like i mentioned. they are no reserve. 3 days left for those. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WeatherTech-446071-Digital-Fit-Front-Floor-Liners-14-18-Silverado-Sierra-BLACK/283265310880
  4. i just traded my 2016 in and replaced it with a new crossover for the wife, a 2019 Terrain Denali.. This time, i took THEIR Terrain home over night with THEIR Dealer plate on.. put about 75 miles on it and MADE SURE it drove well, didn't exhibit any crazy issues and also thoroughly inspected the paint. it's not a perfect way to do it but you should try to..

  6. Thanks for some reason i can't find it on my mobile device have to get to desktop I guess
  7. I just traded in my three-year-old 2016 all terrain with the 8-speed and 5.3 double cab. Week before I trade it in I had the tires rebalanced Goodyear Wrangler SRA of course and two of the four tires had issues where they were just going up and down on the wheel balancing machine the technician was amazing as I was not putting new tires on the truck I'm about to trade he bounce them out to zero after about 2 hours and I took the truck for a ride. Rides perfect never rode like this before. Going back a few months ago I finally had the torque converter replaced and trans flush with the new low viscosity fluid that they claim is the issue with the 4 cylinder 8 cylinder operation and that took care of a certain vibration at around 77 miles per hour but it still didn't ride right and lo and behold it was the tires. But like many have said there's so many moving Parts on this truck and for some reason they tune this chassis to be so tight with intolerance of vibration that any little thing any little variance can trigger a terrible oscillation at the higher speeds I bet you if you took a 300 pound weight and put it in the bed of the truck and move it all over a place and took it down the highway you can counteract the vibration but a why should we have to do that and be who the hell is moving 300 lb to figure it out! I love that truck but as soon as I got on the highway and took a trip somewhere I remembered why I hated it PS it's not just Goodyear Wrangler issues. it's the truck.. my buddy has a 16 Sierra Denali with the 22s on it in Ultimate package none-the-less and it does the same thing (vibration) at around 72 to 77 miles an hour.

  9. haven't been able to post been busy. my truck went back for a second shot at the oscillation issue at 70+mph cruise.. they replaced the bad tire i pointed out to them with the hump in the tread causing out of roundness (that they missed the first time saying rotating it 180 out on the wheel it balanced.. no way it did.. i had it rebalanced privately and it was pointed out to me So.... old tire 30+ on the RF balanced new one says 8.. that said it is a little better but still there.. the service writer bill, great guy, owns a 15 CC Sierra short bed with 18's.. says he got his same week i got mine, his does it too.. and he got one with 18's seeing how many 20 trucks had the issue lol.. He said roadforce replaced two tires helped but it's still there GM doesn't know what to do other than throw parts at it.. minimizing the issue but it never truly gets repaired it's an engineering / design issue.. well there's your answer folks and i believe him 100%... most people don't have to deal with it enough that they'll buy out there 2% of unsatisfied owners and hope to hit it on the redesign.. On a side note, they said they are going to repair my damaged wheel (face) in the spring when it warms up a bit. I put the spring clamps on today and man did it smooth out the ride these rancho's have... if anyone reading this has rancho's on their sierra's these clamps are a must... so happy the oscillation didn't bother me as much lol.. hit bumps with nothing in the bed and it feels so good, like a car over sharp impacts... before it was "nervous" too springed up i guess is a way to describe it? but spend the $15 and it took my 5 minutes to install over the rear tires with my dewalt impact. 1.2.3 done. about 5 inches in front of the rear (closer to cab >>>>).
  10. my onstar antenna was leaking from new (in Aug 2005, i was the 2nd person in NJ to take delivery of the new V8 Grand Prix GXP) and it was filling the map lights lol... not funny then for sure... That car also had a pinched yaw sensor wire, caught under a screw to the center console on assembly... great job "eh" (built in a canadian plant which won quality build awards lol...i can't win!) stranded with 90 miles on it.. no power at all..was shorting out... and then again at 250 miles PS. my first all terrain (a new 2008 Extended cab) was allowing water to come in through a loosely fitted passenger front door.. used to soak the floor... I don't know why... i keep buying these GM's? I lemon law'd a 2003 Envoy XUV for AC that would go hot for no reason after the first start of the day (once it was shut down, upon restart AC would take several minutes of hot air blowing before compressor would come on.. replaced EVERYTHING to no avail!) now i have a Sierra that oscillates or vibrates, take your pic, on the hwy
  11. so far mine has been good. 10/15 build date purchased saturday after thanksgiving.. i have had the pandora bleed through during a phone call to a doctor, that was interesting i thought it was on his end lol.. then i realized it was billy joel which i was listening to before!
  12. yep..... like has been stated hundreds of times in this thread and elsewhere they all exhibit this just let someone who has it take it for a ride they'll point it out and after that your world will never be the same lol Thanks for the update. I emailed my dealer about all the issues i found when attempting to rectify it myself with the help of a friend who has the same truck at his 7,000sqft performance shop which is equipped better than most dealers around here including an awd mustang dyno and machine shop including a $250,000 five axis CNC machine just to nae a couple of things dealers do not have (at least around here)... If i don't receive a satisfactory response from them I will bring it back to the selling dealer (idk what they will do about the wheel the repairing dealer damaged?) and from there I will install those blocks, see if it doesn't quell the shimmy/oscillation/vibration (or whatever other acronym for RIDICULOUS RIDE QUALITY you like lol).. from there I will continue with a call to GMC customer service and from there??? 1-800-my-lemon which i hope doesn't come to that.. I have to hand it to some of you guys who bought these trucks.. god bless you..I would be on fire if i owned this thing... even if i leased it without the extra $3k lease cash i found on this one (increasing the payment another $100/mo)... it's the only thing keeping me from parking it back at my selling dealer and handing them the keys....it's hard to get mad about something I only deal with on the hwy, it's my wife's truck I have a jeep and corvette. but we take this truck on trips, we like to travel in a full size truck.. if i only knew ahead of time i would have leased a ram, rides like a Cadillac on the hwy (i've had them for work vehicles recently and the F150 rides great too but much more truck like, sans the shimmy!). I plan (or planned) to take this truck on a road trip during spring break when my wife is not working to either florida or possibly the corvette museum, maybe football HOF but idk if i want to lose my mind on the ride there watching a water bottle in the cup holder! as i try to convince myself it's not there, it's back what about this speed?? i purchased this truck to replace her 13 equinox LTZ which outside of the outdated cheapy interior and noisy V6/transmission in the AWD one we had and the mechanical power steering which sounded like a 70's nova when sitting still and turning the wheel (which the tsb requring new lines and different valving did nothing to rectify, yet the 4cyl base LS fwd had electric steering lol) DID NOT shake on the hwy at any speed.. when do you upgrade to a 3yr newer vehicle with a 15k higher msrp and feel like you downgraded? if i drove this every day i cannot lie, i could never do it... never.. thank god for the other vehicles i have access too. and thankfully the wife stays local..
  13. my tailgate locks... the 2016's do that now. me too. and my friend's 15 Denali CC 6.2 as well. also my other friend's 15 LTZ CC 6.2 short bed with max trailer.. they all do it.. i'm convinced every last one.. and if your's doesn't? come on by, i'll take you on the hwy and point it out to you.. (only kidding if you don't notice it enjoy, you're the lucky one lol) Glad to hear that please keep reporting back after each week or whenever you come back from an extended hwy drive.. I started a thread called "how to handle this" regarding my "shimmy" vibration whatever at 75mph or so... I will say retightening the U bolts, the truck is nowhere near as bouncy as it was with the ranchos.. they were loose.. cab mount bolts were already tight as anything so doubt that helped... maybe next trick will be attaching another clamp 5" inches in front of the U bolts on the spring, read somewhere in here guys did it and it quelled much of the vibration/shimmy.
  14. thanks brother. i am actually bringing my truck tp my friend's shop today to do some experimenting and with your experience i am going to attempt to duplicate your success. i want nothing more than to NOT think to myself "is it doing it AGAIN?" will report back. ps i am or was i'll try your resolution first, put my rear axle on his mustang load bearing awd dyno (wb is too long to put whole truck on it)
