I have 2007 1500 max crew cab with the 6.0 and have a few issues I need the dealer to fix before the warranty is up.

I am sure if I dont tell them the exact tsb they will say everything is fine.

Here are my 2 issues

 

1 Engine idles funny at a stop it almost feels like someone rearended you, the engine surges.

Otherwise runs great and has awesome power.

 

2 When the air conditioning is on there is a ticking sound coming from the vents. Almost like somthing is loose in there.

 

Are there any other common things I should look for in the next month before the warranty is up?

 

Was there somthing about the plastic trim between the crew cab doors not being right because there is a gap between

the plastic and the rubber seal?

I'm sure the dealership will help you out, but I've not had either issue with my Vmax.

 

Good luck getting it fixed.

I've had my truck in twice for the issue about the rearended feeling you get when at a complete stop. The dealership has lubed my slip yolk and it helps for a month or so then it comes back again, so I guess they never really fixed it. I'll just keep taking it back.

 

I also had the gap between the plastic interior panaling on the lower b-pillar and the rubber seal. I only had the problem on the passenger side but the dealership replaced both sides. I had to show them the TSB for that one because they couldn't find it.

 

Hope this helps.

 

My 3yr/36,000 mile warrenty will be up this fall, or in 5,000miles. Whichever comes first. I'd also like to know what to look for before it runs out.

For numer two try holding or moving the volume control if it makes the noise go away then the TSB fix will be adding a block of foam tape to the inside of the duct to hold the volume damper. I didn't like that so I put a shim in at the pivot to hold it tight.

I too have issue #1 on my 2007 VMax, almost feels like the brakes "let go" for a second. I'm out of warranty so I just live with it :uhoh:

 

+1. I have the bump too, but it happens so infrequently I just live with it.

Alldata, $45.00 for five years, you get all manuals online PLUS TSBs...might be worth it to some

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      Thank you. I'll give it a try

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
