I hope this all blows up in there face. I may go and park my truck at a Chevy dealership this Saturday or Sunday. So people going to look at these trucks can read my back window on the way in to the dealership. And maybe they will second guess there thoughts on buying a Chevy. I drive in to Boston Monday thru Friday I am in the traffic in the morning and at night. There's a lot of people in traffic that will read that my truck is a lemon.

hahaha, well you can't park it on their property, but infront maybe. I drive from the south shore to Boston most days aswell, but I am able to miss the worst of the traffic so I can generally go at a pretty good speed. however since my truck has multiple speeds that it vibrates/ shakes at I just about always have it.

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, C6Bill, you read way more into my post than I put in it. I did not state nor infer that he shouldn't be allowed to complain. Actually, I was merely jesting with him about being able to afford a 2016 LTZ on a soldiers pay. But heck, maybe he's a Bird Colonel, trust fund baby, married well, who knows. None of my business for sure but on the other hand I do enjoy exercising my 1st Amendment rights, politically correct or not. How about them apples, lol :)

 

Wow talk about reading between the lines. I responded to exactly what you typed.

 

 

"here you are complaining about your $55,000 2016 LTZ Z71!"

 

 

 

And yes I read this part too

 

Not being critical. I think you guys earn every cent you're paid. I'm just amazed, that's all!

 

 

 

Isn't that kind of like me saying "you are a dick, no offense intended" ???

No offense intended? Hell, boy. Why don't you man up and say what you mean and own it? Yeah, I can be a Dick, been called a lot worse, lol! Btw, I've never come across any Army dudes who refer to themselves as a soldier. Just not the way we talk.....

Fixed for the western PA folk ;).

 

My truck is still vibration free at 4100 miles. I've been watching it closely though.

Back on topic. Truck are way too big to be used as vibrators.

hahahaha but they can get your girl hot just by driving ;)

New to the site and been watching this thread for quite a while. I currently have a 2014 FX4 F150 (don't hate me). I really want a Sierra All Terrain SLT...every time I see one on the road I stare like a stalker. My F150 has been virtually perfect and I now have 37,000 miles on it. This thread is the only reason I haven't traded for a 2016 Sierra! I keep waiting to read that the vibration issues are fixed for new 16's or at least that the issue is found and all vehicles will be fixed. What the heck GM...I want to buy one of your trucks!

Yep, looking to see if GM will correct their terrible mistakes.

 

Don't worry, Ford has plenty of their own as well. Time will tell if you're lucky or not.

Curious if there is a particular model combination that is most prone to the vibration issues? Crew Cab vs others...5.3 vs 6.2...Z71

/All Terrain vs standard suspension?

^With the amount of turbos, gizmos and whatnots in the F150... I want to see how they hold up to 300k. They have the carbon build up also on the intake valves. I give Ford props for what they're doing, going hi-tech bug most trucks are used for business. In business it's about $/mile and not breaking down. When the ecoboost came out they had the inter-coolers collecting water and bogging the engines down. Not sure where that ended up. And the new '17?+ Ecoboost is to have electronic controlled turbos. Like my 335i BMW. 6.2 please.... so much more simple.

 

 

Deanno33- problems is widespread on configs...

Thanks FL335i..thats kinda what I thought as there didn't seem to be a trend with any particular configuration that I read.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
