I pick up my truck for the 4th time today from the dealer. This time just like the last time, they did nothing other than put miles on it. Social media team said they would coordinate and get others involved, and apparently went no where. I've wasted 8 hours driving to/from the dealer. Shared a video of the issue that i took on my way to drop it off before attempt #3 that showed all of the issues, and yet they "can't replicate it" so no issue fixed. I was asked a couple times to come in during normal business hours to chauffeur someone around to let it replicate. Not taking time off work to waste even more time than i already have on this issue. For those having this issue, I have reached out to a lemon lawyer after attempt # 3 and they have stated this is a valid claim if you're looking to ditch your truck and be reimbursed. I'm currently in talks with a few dealers about trading my truck in on a F150. Trade in is almost what i paid for it new (before taxes) so another option if others are looking to do similar.

Email: [email protected] I found they were very responsive while my truck was in the dealer the last 3 times...Updated me a few times before the dealer did on a few things, but ultimately my truck is still not fixed and it was left at that.

Got a call today from the dealer to come pick up the truck again (3rd time). Forgot to ask what they did while they had since i last posted until i got there. According to the adviser i spoke to, they drove the truck 100 miles and couldn't replicate the issue. I take the fact they gave it back without any fixes they have given up... Prior to the pick up, i ensured i deleted all vehicles tied to my carplay on my phone and did the latest update that popped up here recently. It did not crash on the ~45 minute drive home, which is positive but think it's just luck. Truck will likely sit until we head west on Saturday for a race so won't get a good long test on it until then. They are supposedly going to be extending my warranty on this particular issue, waiting on the email from GM to say how much it's extended. If it arises again, will be bringing it to another dealership.

Didn't realize that was a judgeable offense... ? I don't like wires hanging all over the place, and didn't want to have to reach up to turn it on and off. I turn it on/off frequently if i'm going thru somewhere that sets it off, get stuck by a car with blind spot mirrors, etc.

Radar detector.

Truck is back at the dealership as of this morning. Volume wasn't working properly with music now. Make an adjustment and there was a huge lag where it would gradually change based on the previous knob turn. Was able to get a video of the issues that i need to send over to them before Monday. With 2500 miles left on my warranty, i'm going to keep giving it to them until it's fixed.

Positive news. They replaced the radio on my truck and i was able to pick it up today. Unlike last time where i only made it 1/2 of the way home, today i was able to make it 2/3 of the way! My volume also goes in and out now as well while on the phone so that was a nice new surprise.

Dropped the truck of Thursday evening and picked it up this afternoon. They did a software update... GM bulletin #20-NA-097. Made it half way home and the screen crapped out and restarted during a carplay phone call. Turned back around and left it for them to re-diagnose next week.

2019 GMC Sierra is doing this as well...This thread gives me a ton of confidence of this being fixed...

Yes. Easy install. About $270 to buy all of the parts. Few threads on here that will give you part #'s and some instructions.

For reference, here is my tire clearance with the RL UCA (Tire specs in above post). Note that the outter lugs on the tire are not offset in the image so clearance is less than shown. I've articulated the suspension pretty well to check for rubbing and haven't caught any marks yet but it is certainly close. I'm convinced on this size tire, it will 100% come down to actual tire selection and not all 285/75/18's will fit without wheel spacers.

No good ones but here you go. 285/75/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers Stock 18s No wheel spacers Zero Trimming. Zero way to go any wider of a tire without hitting the Ready lift UCAs unless wheel spacers are added, which will probably cause more rubbing issues. Only rubbing as mentioned above (Slight rub going over a bump at full lock) Truck has a 1 to 1.25" rake with the 2" SST.

Stock 18's.

I'm on that size tire but have the 2" SST. Very minor rubbing when turned going over a bump. Normal conditions, nothing.

The kit is designed for the AT4/TB trucks. Anything over 2" (stock TB/AT4 height) you need new UCA's. Facebook you'll run across enough posts with UCA failures where it's cheap insurance to do it once. Only have about 5k miles on mine since i did it last month, but so far so good. No issues/complaints. You will be limited on tire width if you want to run stock wheels with new UCA's. I'm on 285/75/18's that barely squeeze around the new UCA. TireRack has the 2" kit for $510 + Shipping. Lowest price by far i found any where. 2" will leave your rear high by about an inch. There is also a 1.75" kit if you want the truck level and not raise the rear.

Here is my driver side CV with 4" of lift. (AT4 w/ 2" Readylift SST). Bit hard to see back there but the angle IMO is not bad at all. No worse than my last F150 with a 2.5" level

What are you talking about? I know this is probably going to be shocking, but not everyone needs a 2 speed transfer case.... ? Guess what though, I wanted a 2 speed transfer case and I made sure as ****** my truck had it before I bought it.

How do we get less? We keep getting more and more and they obsolete outdated features to bring in the more relevant features they can charge more for.

I would not level a TB/AT4 without new control arms. Someone recently had a UCA failure with 2.5" (non TB/AT4) either on here or FB. Could have been a different root cause, but seems the UCA are the weak link when leveling and not worth the risk.

Just finished installing my upfitter switches today and finished the hardwire of the radar detector. Chose to use the new dash piece as the template and cut it in instead of tearing about everything. A sharp exacto knife makes it a breeze and well worth the time savings. Worse case i figured, I screw it up and then just replace anyhow. The biggest pain was getting the wire fished thru the fire wall, which knowing how to do it now it is a breeze. Coat hanger made it so much easier. I had it all wired in and then no power at the radar detector, switch lit up. Turns out, there are 2 loose blue wires in the new wiring loom...Once i realized this it was an easy fix and quick to wrap up.

J A K, did you have the Line-X extra? My '11 F150 i sold when i got my AT4 had the bedliner sprayed in sometime in 2011. Zero fade when i sold with the extra last year. I've had fading issues on past trucks and different bed liner products, but the product worked well overall. The Toyota above had the extra applied as well, i only kept it for 3-4 years after finishing the build that but never saw any signs of fading although that stayed in a garage out of the sun unlike my truck.

They can custom tint to oem color. I would do that with the “extra” so it doesn’t fade. personally I wouldn’t do the rockers especially if you’re in a state with salted roads. If it gets below it will help promote rust. Saying that, it can come out well, I’ve done it before I just wouldn’t do it again, most of my issues with it is any rubs or good hits it will look bad or peel away from the body. Probably a non issue from a daily driver and could be touched up if ever needed. Inside out outside is line-x. Outside is a oem Toyota red for the fj40. The door is after a really good hit to a rock but I had others over the vehicle that occurred from much lighter bumps.

Buy online? I just got mine less than 2 weeks ago from GM Parts outlet.

GM Parts outlet. At least from the email they sent, they had to order all of the parts and that caused a week or two delay in shipping. Edit: FYI, if you throw the parts in your cart after creating an account, you'll get some sort of discount. It was minimal. GM Parts outlet was the cheapest on all the parts required that i could find.
