the above was what I'm referring to, but since it's just a cosmetic upgrade I would bet the 16's will also have it.

 

 

And you know this for a fact ? You know exactly what was changed on the 2016s correct ? You are 100% confident that the ONLY changes were cosmetic.

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

Well i just got this back from GM customer service on here, unfortunately they were as useless as I feared.

 

"Again, we truly apologize for the ongoing displeasure. After extensive review with the dealership and our internal resources, it's been determined your truck is operating as designed at this time. We recognize this isn't the resolution you were seeking; however, please know we've exhausted all available resources on our end at this time. If you'd like to accept our accessories certificate offer, we're more than happy to get it processed for you. Feel free to reach out in the future if you have further questions."

I still need a third visit to lemon law this truck, but I don't want to. I'd lose about $3500 from the xpel, painted bumpers, line-x and i'm quite fond of her minus the vibes. I might try a driveshaft shop for shits and giggles to see if they can balance the drive shaft and effect it at all. I didn't beat cancer to have a new truck handle like this, and be treated like this grrrrrrr :rant:

Dropped mine off again today. See what comes of it. My service writer and the service manager are very patient with me and understand my frustration.

 

Another thing, since this is my second attempt, should I let them know I will pursue a buyback or lemon law it after the third and final failed attempt?

I thought the 6 speed was standard on the 2016 while the 8 speed was only available in the upper trim levels with the 5.3 engine?

You know what, I think you're right

Well it will be interesting to see what comes of the 2016's once they start hitting the streets in the next few days. So lets see what facts come out instead of just speculating what changes might or might not have been made for this issue. It's not like they would come out and say they resolved the vibration issue for 2016 as that would be admitting that there is a vibration issue and they don't seem willing to admit that so far.

 

 

Jesse, let me know when you are around, i need to get that TPS sensor back.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
