Who said anything of the sort that I would be doing it. I said that those here that keep asking for a class action lawsuit, for them to get it started. I'm just here to whine about my shake rattle and roll that I just picked up two weeks ago.

I think the frustration is getting to all of us. Sometimes these post read a little different than if it was spoken. I'm going to go out and scream at my truck like it's a redheaded stepchild. But that youtube thing sounds promising. Hell, just remembered its Saturday. I'm going to the liquor store. You guys get back to the topic .

:cheers:

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

it starts with youtube videos, that's something that reaches the masses and cant be censored or decided not to report about because tv stations don't want to lose advertising revenues. they don't come out and report anything negative about any auto maker unless its a safety issue that people get hurt over.

 

get a few hundred youtube videos reporting exactly how they treated you and the lies and BS you have to deal with and hundreds of thousands of potential vehicle buyers will buy something else not wanting to be treated the same way. that is where the average joe has power today because on youtube you are your own reporter and you can report about things honestly without censorship.

 

as to class action, that's easy, the lawyers are the ones who get silly rich on those and if a handful of people want to join in a class action against GM then lawyers will see the dollar signs and fight to be the one to lead the way on the money grab. all it takes is 5 or 6 people for starting a class action lawsuit and then once the word gets out, thousands more will want to join in. I bet the majority who post on this website will sign on to it once the class action lawsuit is started. as to what is to be gained by it I think the best to be hoped for is a forced by back on demand by anyone have vibration issues is all the owners can hope for, you wont be able to show you were damaged in any way by it so there is nothing you can claim as a bonus for your aggravation over it all. the lawyers on the other hand will be paid a couple thousand in legal fees for every member of the class action that joins so the lawyers can make millions on this so they will be very happy to represent a class action.

 

the ONE THING that GM wants to avoid at all cost is for the word to get out and the general public starts to hear about what is going on with these trucks and how customers who bought them are being treated.

 

youtube

twitter

Instagram

facebook

 

all forms of social media should be where you and everyone you know, should start spending a lot of time spreading the word far and wide about whats going on with these trucks because only then will GM be under any pressure to treat us right because they will know people are paying attention and it will directly reflect on their future vehicle sales.

Okay. So here is an update on my truck. took off the 305 40 R22 tires and rims today. Went back to stock 18inch rims and new hankook winter tires. I am happy to report my vibrations are gone. Smooth as a caddy up to 160 km's. Drove the truck at 110 to 130kph for a good 45 mins and all is good now, absolutely no vibrations. I'm a happy camper again. Hope you guys figure out the vibration issues on your trucks. My issue was definately tires and balancing.

No mention of vibration in the video title? How will people find it if searching for vibration problems?

 

That's how one of the ones I test drove vibrated. You could hear the rattle.

Good point. Fixed and updated.

Have any of y'all asked the dealer about the motor mount recall fix Kuug posted a couple pages back?

 

I have not as the dealership insisted on looking at the tires first. They aren't taking me serious even after coming in twice now.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.
