    My 2019 is getting 850 miles per gallon give or take yours seems pretty steep indeed. Gm should tell what the milage should be relative to the fuel burn... Maybe a call to corporate or another dealer

    I just paid 1.45 for diesel and gas was 1.89 I feel like I was stealing ... Mora mn is having some sorta diesel war and I am enjoying it filling my truck up for less than $50 you can't go wrong with a diesel and I got 24.2 mpg on a 50 span going 65 unloaded whooot whhhot but 11 hauling the 9k toy hauler. My calculated mpg has been 20.2 unloaded for 2 tanks combined driving. My regens are at 820 miles so I passed on the update, my shortest Regen was 500 miles with idling and winter fuel

    an expense... the more you spend the more expensive it is... it will be worthless in 20 years... ouch... no worries though there is no inflation... oh wait...

    Napa synthetic is fine or mobil1 or any that meet the requirements. Dexos required? If so make sure it has the dexos logo

    I used dexos oil in my gas 6.2 changed it early and still lost a lifter at 59k cyl 4 afm cylinder. I contend faulty design The dealer sold one and with 23 miles on it it did the same thing as mine. Some poor other person got a brand new lifter and that was on a 2018. You have to change the oil in a diesel whether conv oil or synthetic at the recommended interval, there is no extended drain interval in any reading from any manufacturer I have seen.

    If you're in the snowbelt bilstiens if south then the adjustable ranchos. I guess so cal is south enough to withe ranchos I have had both the adjustables are nice.

    The used car market is going to have some smoking deals,l but not sure about the truck market and how that will pan out. Good luck just make sure you test drive anything used and get the Carfax now that will help too

    a diesel is not in your future here. The 6 l will run a long long time pretty bullet proof and the prices for used will be going down due to the current glut hold out another month if you can. You will come out way ahead on the gasser compared to the diesel. Change the shocks out the ride is almost the same as a 1\2 ton, lower the tire pressure to 60lbs when unladen and enjoy. And echoing the other vibration test run it to 76-80mph if it vibrates walk away and keep looking no matter what they tell you. Do a Carfax for sure

    Mine does it in exactly 20 miles if kept above 40 mph

    A call to gm customer service is probably in order or have another dealer or this dealer reflash it

    It will also run higher idle when Regen is active iirc on mine it is right around 800-900 rpm . Make sure it completed a Regen.

    RF all 4 tires... this seems to be an issue with the tires everytime they get rotated they cause vibrations... Why who knows why ? it is just plain weird... happened to me... even moving from front to rear the vibe stuck around... after they RF'd all 4 tires again then it was good as gold... even the SM was in disbelief that it worked...

    well it has been a while sense I posted up. So as a follow up so far about 1000 miles sense they fixed it, it is still fixed. I was over 80 this weekend.. and I was shocked when I looked down.. I really thought I was only going 65 or so... so lucky for me I am all fixed.. I am heading to Utah for a 4wheelin' trip so for sure will get to put on a boatload more highway miles... I still have the crappy LS/2's on it but so far so good... I hope they can figure out how to fixe the rest of these that are broke... 3 tires, 1 new rearend, RF balanced to less then 10lbs per tire.. i think the threshold is 16 or 15.. but mine vibrated at that balance...
  14. curver900
    this has the same clutch system as my 4wheeler..
  15. curver900
    did they have a pico computer? if so did they put it on? if not then you won't get far fast... I know i repeat myself but it worked for me... that got my rearend fixed and then all the tires below 6lbs of RF... and it is now my smoothest vehicle I own.
  16. curver900
    then go to the service manager... see if that helps... if not then open a ticket with corporate try those first in order... don't be an arse... just explain and be level headed... let them tell you no... then when you open the call with corporate let them know... they can arrange a different dealer... To bad you aren't in MN I would recommend a place to go
  17. curver900
    you need to make them put the Pico device on it... with the NEW software that is available... it will tell them exactly what is wrong.. if they don't have a Pico device then don't do business with them.... Of course this should not be... but it is what it is.... All I can say is it worked for me and I am now a happy customer... But I had exceptional service ....

    so with about 2 seconds of looking I found this.... "So after reading several posts between a few different sights it seems that the problem I have is caused by the rear mount on the transfer/transmission case. Good news, right? wrong I explained everything, crawled under the truck and showed the movement with in the driveline and explained that several people have replaced the mount with the Ford Raptor mount which is much beefier and doesn't allow the vibration under torque. However, Ford explained to me that it makes perfect since however since the trucks are so new (even though its essentially the same driveline as previous years) Ford haven't released a TSB for this fix?? So after the 5th visit to Ford and 2.5 days of "diagnostics", (simply new tire and road force balance) they concluded that 1 more of the 4 brand new tires that were already replaced were bad and they couldn't explain it. So I asked them did you check the suspension? Nope. Check the rotors for possibly being warped? Nope. Check the driveshaft to make sure it's balanced? Nope....soooo....2.5 days and 1 tire on the 5th visit!......Unbelievable customer service! To top it off surprise surprise the shudder/vibration is still there!" now there hasn't been as large of an out pooring in the ford space yet... but starting to sound alot like the GM problems... I don't know what wheels/tires etc... but don't run to fast... it is possible that GM will figure this out which they did for me (rearend and tires)... and Ford seems to have some quick answers but so did GM at first... maybe they are all using the same outsourced vendors??? makes you wonder....

    That's great so you are off to the Fiat forum then... Thanks for the update
  20. curver900
    you would think that they would put it back to where it was, after all less than .001% better fuel economy is not worth the AFM vibration at lower speeds.. the 6cyl I drove didn't do it and my 6.2 doesn't but I know when I driving a 5.3... heck i should apply for a job as a vehicle tester... probably fire me though after telling them what is wrong.. and what folks won't like ;.)
  21. curver900
    okay, but did the programming change in that time period?
  22. curver900
    balanced or Road Forced balanced? they need to be RF balanced the spec is less than 15 but best if less than 10
  23. curver900
    Active Fuel Management... it is what it is... I have drivin 4 GM trucks while they work on mine and the 5.3 is the only one i notice it in... our 2010 Avalanche has it but it doesn't do it... my guess is the new 6 speed tranny is to blame ... to low a gear for the AFM...
  24. curver900
    well after another 2 weeks at the dealer it is fixed again... couple of items. 1. tires needed anohter RF balance... they now have less than 6 lbs of road force (I believe that is the correct term). 2. Topper so on the tires which I think are the bane of all the issues they had a vibration the pico device told them it was the tires... they did the rears as that is where the problem was from... then no change... couple days later they break down and do the front.... Pico says tires this time but within spec. My dealer who is absolutly top notch says I don't want to give it back to you less than perfect so I would like to take off the topper and try it... I say okay by me it isn't part of the manufactured truck so sure... he takes it off, calls me up and says it rides nicer than any other truck he has driven come out and give it a whirl... It is as smooth as anything up to the speed limiter... it is amazing... 2. put the topper back on... 77 it starts to vibrate not bad but you can feel it.. so I open all the windows in the topper... vibration gone.. I close all the windows in the toppper... vibration gone... open just the window between the cab and the topper ... vibration back... So I can say with certianty that mine is fixed until the tires act up again... hopefully they will wear out fast and I will move to Michelins... The Pico he had recieved all NEW software for vibration detection so they are actually working twards a solution and I for one am happy that my dealer was persistant... Now I have to go write up another thank you letter to them. To those who went to Ram or Ford good luck, I hope you don't have any issues with those trucks either. But I refuse to give up my 6.2 with 3.73's for a turbo V6... or a 5.7L ...
  25. curver900
    does any one have a topper on theirs that has the vibration?
