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

So I delivered my '16 Silverado Z71 to the dealer this AM, 2nd visit to the dealer for the "shakes". Young guy from the service dept just called and says truck is ready to be picked up. He said a tech and service manager both drove the truck, and both experienced the shake. He said it was determined the shake is caused by the tire treads, and there is nothing they can do about it. I asked why nothing can be done. Guy says there's nothing they can do about the tire treads, and I can speak with the service manager when I come in to pick up the truck.

 

What are these guys trying to pull here? Are tires now supposed to cause a vehicle to shake/vibrate, and that's now part of the purchase agreement?? I'm pissed to the point now, that I have the fk'n shakes such that it's difficult to type this!! Am I gonna be told that I'm supposed to accept the tires, and the shakes?

 

Sorry for the rant fella's but I'm pissed... Think I gotta calm down some before I go to pick up my $45K vibrator :o(

 

Oh... any advice on this would be muchly appreciated.... thanks

 

Tell them to put a set of slicks on it and drive it... see if they still tell you it's the tread pattern...

I have them, don't waste your money they didn't help with the vibration issue.

I knew someone did it, should have known it was you AB. lol

Thank you I appreciate it thought it might be worth a shot to ask first

Yeah they were every bit of 450 bucks shipped with tax and a pain in the ass to install I think I may have posted a brief description of the installation process after I put them on. Don't go down that avenue.

 

On a different note I noticed GM customer care was the most recent visitor to my profile page. Talk about a useless profession.

Has anyone had their Driveshaft checked for run out? That fixed mine, you would be surprised!

I'm going to look into having the shaft checked. I need to find a place where I can wait for it while it's being done. I'm an old fart and live alone, tough to get rides here and there, which was a big part of the reason I sold my '07 and bought a new truck. So much for that bright idea....

Here's what don't get...how is that 4 years into this build, they still don't have this figured out.

 

But the all new Titan with new everything has no vibrations, shakes, no shuddering, no gear clunking, no down shift back lash clunk.

 

How does a brand new model year vehicle srive so much better.

 

Just got my truck back from the dealer and it's 4th repair attempt.

 

I break even getting out of it before the end of the year.

 

I'm going to cut my losses.

You are correct. The Titan Is designed in CA, engineered in MI, the engine is assembled in TN, and final assembly is MO.

 

It's 100% American.

 

Yes, my Sierra is Mexican.

So sad. I remember my 06 duramax had the Flint MI sticker in the door. I went to a 13 ram with a cummins after that and every single part on that truck said made in mexico. Got rid of that pile for my 16 1500 and now it even has mexico all over it. So sad.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
