Scuba78

lust installed the motofab 2" in the front. running all stock 18s. debating on a tire size. was thinking 285/65R18 but not sure. FHLH looks like mine, not sure if i should go any bigger

after exhausting every avenue with GM, BBP was the best to deal with and have addressed my issue. I was very confident from the start all these issues were programming flaws. After their tune the truck drives very smooth and is a lot more responsive. VERY VERY happy with the results. Such a shame GM would not back their own product.

It has been night and day with the truck. It drives so much better. I have now added a cat back exhaust and had it returned for that and removed AFM. The change from 8 to for always had a funny kick. It is now even smoother. Best thing I have done to the truck I actually enjoy driving it.

Mine Chirped bad, dealer replaced the entire exhaust with only 5k miles! i tried to get them to swap it for my choice, but no go.. I will do a mod soon. curious if anyone has tried just getting rid of the resonator.

Yes, i too had those issues but with Black Bear they changed the TCM as well and in my opinion it drives how i would drive a manual. it holds the gear it needs instead of the one it should be in on the highway!

I wish i bought an older truck, not new

i have had every TSB and update available. Noting from factory has helped, but i solved the issue myself, with help from Black Bear Performance!!! i sent them my read file and told them the issues im having, they sent me the tune last night ant this is the first day with the truck after 20k miles it didnt lug and chug at ALL! I will be going to my dealer to show them the results to just shake it in the engineers face. What good is a warranty if they wont do anything about it anyway!

2017, bought jan 28, 20,585...not quite a full year yet.

Drive to NH, i have the same truck and wish the Z71 had chrome

This has been very helpfull. I was debating wheels for my truck and i do like black wheels, but on silver, IMO, it doesnt look as nice. not trying to bag on anyone but for my taste i will go with silver or chrome. In defense, i had black wheels on my Green 04 diesel, and loved it! still miss that truck, bad!

Facts are facts sir.

I have a Short GF who is wanting me to get a set...not a fan of any either so...i guess i will pick one that looks good. Cheaper to get rid of the GF thou...

i know, i am one of 6 at this dealership with the same issue. almost 50K for a truck that drives like crap, sucks

No. it does it locked in V8 mode. Tech and i drove for an hour playing with all the functions. Bottom line, in V8 mode, torque Converter locked it feels like a fish biting on the line as you steady cruise or very light acceleration. comes down to Tune issue. not enough fuel. when I install the programmer we should be able to confirm it if it smooths out. I have been working with the dealer and the Tech for quite some time. I'm pretty competent with cars and the dealer knows my background. we have spent a lot of time trying to narrow this down, then the engineer says its normal...not too happy with them

it is a stuttering problem in the new trucks. GM knows it is there, put out a patch for it and they claim it fixed 85% of the trucks. it happens constantly on my from 50-60 under steady cruise to light acceleration. Local tech and i duplicated it every time. Field service engineer said it wasn't worth it to fix . Considered it normal operation.

After 8 moths of back and forth with GM and my dealership I'm throwing in the towel. My Local dealer has been great and done all they can to help, but GM is useless. They sent a field Engineer out with my Chuggle and fish Bite issue. They agree it is there but it is minimal and the Official Verdict is that the truck is designed to run this way. The dealership tried to argue with me to the tech and his only reply was he has seen worse. My tech told him last couple times we drove it was worse when we took it out the past few times, and re-flash has not worked. the Patch they came out with has not worked. So I have to drive a truck that is designed to drive like crap. My Solution, the Black Bear Tuner is on its way to my house. I am positive it is a tuning issue. GM is in my Blood but this pisses me off to no end. I shouldn't have to buy the tuner to correct a factory issue under warranty. The dealer is going to try and help me and reimburse my money for the tuner if he can get it approved, but he also wants me to come back and let him know if this solves the issue to shove it in the Engineers faces at his next Tech Meeting. Had to rant a bit, but cant stand when a company wont stand behind their product, and give bullsh*t answers.

only seen the 5100s for the 16s, not listed for the 17s yet, i assume they would be the same thou. am i correct?

I want to do the same. have an LT with power heated mirrors. it was easy swap on my 04 , everything worked. hoping for the same here when i get the $$ to buy them.

I love that interior. I wanted leather, but hate how you have to get the console. doesnt feel like a truck to me and i like the extra flip up seat for the kids if needed.

shipping may cost as much as buying. hopefully we each fins someone local with the same opinions to swap

dint think it has any, not quite 1000 miles on the truck

2017, New Hampshire, so...kinda far. bummer

I have the Z71 paint matches a would prefer the chrome, wanna trade?
