Has anyone ordered a '16 for their buy back replacement? Going thru it now and there's nothing in inventory that meets my criteria.

 

Also, I noticed something this weekend while towing the boat. The vibration was basically nonexistent in the console and was concentrated totally in the steering wheel. It's a fairly large boat so I'm sure the tongue weight is a few hundred pounds.

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

Wow, sucks man. Feel your pain, if they buy it back. Are you going to get a 2016 replacement truck or just walk away from the deal into a different brand? Now other question is when you get a replacement truck, Your warranty starts from 0 miles or on whatever miles you left over the old truck?

A 2016 Yukon owner just made the same observation is this thread: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/162779-2015-YUKON-NOISE-IN-CABIN

 

Important clue?

I have a 16 on order because there were no trucks around to replace my 14 with. Fingers crossed it not a shaker.

Old Bill now goes down the highway at any speed he wants knowing that vibrations were just all a bad dream. How is it now in the smooth Tundra lane?

 

 

Smooth sailing :)

.... However the SA said there was a software recall for the 4wd system, something about 4wd engaging at cold start (don't have the work order at the moment). After it was all done, I swear the truck drives smoother and the vibration greatly reduced, if not complete gone. Not sure if it was due to the software recall, or coincidence, or if it'll solve the vibration issue that everyone else is experiencing. Just thought I throw it out there.

 

 

That is interesting, I have always suspected the smooth road jitter software but hey a fix is a fix and if it works for you that is great !!!!

Yeah, keep crossing your fingers. I am sure it will have a major positive effect on the outcome. And if it is another shaker, go through this crap all over again.

anyone else here notice the rear axle isn't lined up with the body 100%? I noticed when putting on my mudflaps the right rear tire sits farther towards the rear by about a fingers width. Wonder if that has anything to do with alignment issues with the rear end?

They said sometime in mid to late jan so yes about 8 weeks.

Its an expression. You dont have to be insulting.

If you have a 16 on order stay on top of the dealer. I had one on order and after 8 weeks GM still hadn't picked up the order.

After I realized my vibration came back intermittently, I'm seriously considering trading in, I'm not sure for what though. Maybe a couple year old dmax? Hmm...

No insult was intended. I just find it hard to believe that you guys are willing to take yet another gamble, knowing that GM has done very little to address and eliminate these issues. There is someone on this forum who went through three different trucks hoping that he would finally get a good one, and they all had vibration issues. If vibration problems were as rare on these trucks as some claim, getting three trucks in a row with vibration issues would be like winning a lottery jackpot. I think the problem is a lot more common than it may appear.

 

If only 0.1% of these trucks had vibration problems, and assuming random distribution of the defective trucks in the whole population, then the odds of getting three vibrating trucks in a row would be 1/1000 X 1/1000 X 1/1000 which is 1 in a billion! These odds are lower than those for winning a power ball lottery jackpot!

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
