WE already determined that little man Won either gets paid by Ford to come on here to talk **** or he is just a bored little man little in his motherâs basement with nothing better to do.

 

As for the problems - how many 2014 trucks to do guys think GM has produced now? 50K ? 75K? more ? Based on that number⦠how many lemons or âbad onesâ do you think slip through?

 

What bothers me is someone comes here, reads through a handful of issues and assumes all these trucks are garbage. The truth is a small percent ( likely under 1%) are going to have some major issue that requires a buyback. Iâm sure Ford and Dodge have their problems and are no better than GM. By reading

some of these treads you would think that half these trucks are junk. But that simply is not true⦠the vast majority love these trucks and have no issuesâ¦

The bottom line .... you are going to hear much more from the guys that have issues, vs the guys that don't

Why does anyone care what he got and didn't get? This is about people having issues with their trucks and how to resolve them. If he got his money back and a new truck then good! Honestly I wish I did as well. I still can't believe I spent 50,000 and got all these issues.

I am really close to buying a new one, because of both need and want. Having a hard time wanting to buy one of these though with the issues stated.

 

I went through a nasty battle with GM back in April over a 1 year old Tahoe that was in the shop 8 times in 4 months for the same problem, and was told it was normal....BS. Left the wife stranded 3 times.

 

Long time GM fan so I chalked it up to a lemon and traded after the last repair for one identical to the other. I know smart right.

 

No probs with it but I took a beating on the trade even though the dealer was very helpful.

 

When you have to deal with the jackasses GM refers to as field represenatives it will be a fight that's not in the customers favor to win, in my experience.

 

Leaning hard towards a Ford Raptor, just hate to forgo a purchase with all the GM card points I have earned.

Here is my update regarding my transmission issue.

GM basically told me to drive my 2014 silverado LTZ until my transmission falls out!!! ( GM Don't care at all )

Mi local dealership was kind enough to allowed me to trade it for another LTZ. Of course I will be taking a beating with the trade.

I will post a photo of the new truck!

Wish me luck.

Have a good tranny shop and a good independent shop look at/drive it first. May want to wait for 6.2 and just use ranger to shut off AFM.

Same problem here. I took it in once no dash light but truck kept sputtering. They said may be bad gas. Drained the tank and filled up at dealer. They said it was fixed. Before I made it home from the dealer, 35 miles away, doing same thing again. Replaced both catylitic converters twice. Entire wiring harness to fuel pump 2 fuel pumps, and several different sensors. This and still no admittance of a lemon. Dealer did try and obviously changed every part of the system that the so called trouble codes pointed to. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Just got a 2014 LTZ 2 days ago...when I drift with foot off the accelerator, at any speed going straight on smooth pavement, I'm getting an inconsistent knocking, clunking noise from the rear, probably the differential. It doesn't occur from downshifting of the tranny...I'm talking a consistent speed while drifiting, and then all of the sudden some knocks and clunking. I have no issues or noises while accelerating, just upon deceleration, at all speeds. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't. I don't really feel anything in the seat...just the noise. I am pissed! I've captured the noise on my cell phone, just in case I get the "We don't hear anything" excuse from the dealership. The one noise lasted for 8 full seconds. It's going back soon for examination.

 

Think it could just be something simple rattling underneath? I'm not that lucky.

To update my post above from 2 days ago...the master transmission tech (seasoned mechanic) took a ride with me to hear the above noise. Luckily, he heard it...many times. Because it had only been 2 days since purchasing this vehicle, the dealership decided to void the original contract and gave me all money back. I don't think the truck had actually been titled yet, so they get to still set it as new to someone else. The tech thought it was an exhaust issue as his first guess. He wanted to "rip out the entire back end of the exhaust" for starters. Screw that.

 

So, in the end, I got this today instead. 2014 Sierra, All-Terrain package. Love the wheels! Gun metal, painted gray 20's...and the painted front and rear bumpers, and grill. I just gotta add running boards, spray the bed, throw on my Extang tonneau.

 

 

 

 

Wow! That thing is sharp!

I have been following the thread in regards to the driver seat movement issues and was wondering what the latest was for any of the guys having the fix applied? Does the fix seem to do the trick or only make it less noticeable?

 

I am looking to see if I can get a local dealer to take a look and have it fixed ASAP. Any idea how long it took to get parts in and to do the actual fix?

 

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I would like to know too. My seat is starting to pop and wiggle when turning. Very annoying!

While I don't have 2014 I have sued GM and won about my first 2011 that ended up getting a new motor at 600 or so miles. There is a thread on here by me (search for it), I used a lemon lawyer and all worked out. Feel free to PM me.

I actually have great news!!

GM has accepted a buy back!! I'm getting a even better truck than what I originally had, a 2014 silverado LTZ Z71 loaded with a sunroof. Plus some extra goodies.

I couldn't believed. I was ready to apply for a lemon law.

All I can say is thanks GM And my local dealership.

I will post some photos of my new truck soon.

does the 2014 silverado front headlights and grille look like past years or are my old eyes playing tricks on me?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
