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

Some have in fact pushed long enough to get a buyback. One member should be picking up his new truck in the next week or so. There are even a few who have gone through the process twice. So it can in fact be done. Others, like myself, had just decided it wasn't worth the time and effort and simply traded out.

Well, guess I'll shit in one hand and pray with the other anything is better than this...

Its not impossible, I just got a 17 Denali after an absolute nightmare with them. Just be prepared to put in some work and keep good documentation. Start with customer service and keep going from there. My truck had 32,000 miles and was almost 2 years old, I did have to pay usage but not the absurd amount they tried to hit me with.

Does the new one vibrate or shake? Denali's are good looking trucks.

Has anyone else checked the runout of their drive shafts other than 07Softail? Made an appointment for Thursday at a local driveline shop. I originally had some vibration from 20-50 (worst from 40-55) and even worse shaking from 70+. After having the wheels and tires replaced and balanced 4 times I only have the shaking from 20-50. Its in the steering wheel and pedals. Probably present throughout the truck but this is where I notice it now. I will update Thursday or Friday on what I find.

I had the run out checked on mine and it checked within specs of the shop, but the rear weights on the driveshaft were off. They stripped all the weights off and re balanced it and I have not had any 75+ mph vibes since. I still have very slight vibrations from 40-50 mph felt in the steering wheel, floor board, and center console.

I am taking mine in on Saturday to a very well respected driveline shop here in Vegas. I'll report back.

Hey Jesse, still waiting for a report on your new Denali :)

So am I haha. They keep having "delays with the paperwork" I was told I'd have the close date last Friday, but still haven't heard anything. I emailed them yesterday morning, so I'm expecting a reply today.

Just got an email from GM, they are finishing up processing the paperwork in the next couple minutes. The close date is being scheduled for 5 Business days from today, so I get the Denali is 7 days.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
