Hey Mike,

 

I had the bridgestones put on my truck this morning and it didn't fix mine either. I too am waiting to hear back from Jeff for the next step. I have a vibration in 8 cylinder mode and it gets a whole lot worse in 4 cylinder mode, and they want me to buy a $200 aftermarket module to disable the 4 cylinder mode...I don't think so, maybe they should fix their own problems!

Sorry for you brother, this entire process is so frustrating. I am dealing with GM now, Dealership pretty much said they can not do anything more for me and directed me to go to GM. We talked on friday, idk what the ultimate result is going to be yet, but tomorrow is the day I hope this will all be resolved.

 

Idk if I asked you this yet, but when was your truck built, mine was june 2013. Just curious

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

Took my truck in to dealer yesterday for the shaking and found the 2 rear tires were bad. Funny thing is that out of the 3 new tires they had in stock, only 1 was good wtf :confused: . I have to take it back to get the other bad tire replaced. Don't know what is going on with this issue, will see what happens.

 

this right here is why I replace OEMs on my own dime ASAP, if not the same day I pick up the ride. Life is too short and the cost of good non-OEMs is nothing compared to what one throws at GM for the ride. Only exception to this rule is if the ride comes with Michelins. Then just to my friend Ted for trueing and high speed balance on the car/truck.

can someone tell me why the 5.3L engine is now on restriction? Thought I may look into a high country build (different suspension) but the 5.3L from what I understand is on restriction

Anyone have any more info on this? I did a search and can't find anything but I'm very curious.

Mine was built in June as well and I had the vibration. I have the 20 in polished wheels and gy ls2 rubbers. Dealer road forced them and one came back at 41 something when 18 is the limit? Idk what that means but I'm happy now. New tire now and NO vibration all the way to 85 MPH. I didn't go faster BC it was only there between 72-80 mph.

What is "on restriction"?

 

Generally means what is holding up a vehicle from being built from either parts shortages or changes to previously published option availability when an order is placed.

Hey Mike,

 

Let me know what they say tomorrow. Where do I find the build date?

Have to wait till the end of the week, most likely next week to get everything figured out. Service manager is away and general sales manager is in Russia watching the olympics.

 

was there any improvement at all from the new tires?

My build date is July, the tires didn't do anything to improve it.

 

So Jeff is away? I've left 2 messages and no one calls back or tells me that he's away, such good service!

How bad is this vibration you guys are talking about. Just drove my truck over 75 mph for the first time and I had a little vibration. Nothing too serious. Does it get worse with time? I felt most of the vib in the steering wheel, seat didn't shake or anything.

I have 688 miles and the Goodyear 20" sra's.

Yes it will get worse... at first i thought it was just the road... but learned after a couple thousand miles that it gets ever so slightly worse and worse...you'll probably hear a barely audible reverb in the cab too (like a sunroof is barely open) if you turn your radio off... It bugs the snot out of me.. Ive got a Luandry list of issues with mine and will be dropping it off at the dealer and WILL NOT accept it back until EVERYTHING is fixed.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
