Correct.

 

It's hard to tell if the studs are running true, we are going to put an axle in one of them and see if that does it.

Any update on the axle flange runout issue? A good machine shop can cut and true the flange up!

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

what site did you find that on?

 

HERE is the 10,006........................Fresh off the F150 site!

I am having similar issues with my 2016 Platinum. However, they are much worse in sport and towing modes. Ford has stated that these are normal operating characteristics and that it is my driving style that is causing the issues. A co-worker of mine blew his rear differential at 800 miles. He and I also have vibrating in the drive shaft and steering wheel with humming coming from the transmissions. We bought our transmissions in different states and nearly six months apart. There is a much larger issue here and Ford is obviously trying to cover it up.

Quick update on mine; service advisor called to tell me they are replacing the remaining 3 tires due to being out of tolerance. Road force measured more than 30lbs each. Other than the fact I'm a little miffed they apparently didn't bother to check them last time I had it in(where they replaced one tire) they tell me there is a national back order on these tires out 30-45 days. I'm not at all convinced more of the same is going to make a difference, but I guess I gotta play the game. "Take it home and deal with it until we can try this thing that likely won't fix it" makes for a pretty poor customer experience.

Serious buyers remorse going on here.

That's more than my 3 dealership visits have accomplished. My truck is at a driveline shop as we speak. They're checking the driveshaft. I will report back as soon as I hear back.

I guess I haven't looked very close yet. I'll see it again Monday. They're some form of Goodyear all-season, 20" wheel.

Make sure they check the shaft runout front, middle, rear.

Ok so update time.

 

Took my truck to a driveline shop here in Vegas. Very professional guys. They came and test drove the truck with me and confirmed my vibrations. I left it there for a few hours and I was told that the driveshaft definitely was out of balance. They balanced it and checked for run-out.

 

The tech said it had slight run-out but was within spec. He said it wasn't enough to where he thinks it would cause an issue. The truck does feel smoother now for sure. I only had a small amount of time to test the truck on the highway, which is where I have 90% of my problems. It felt smoother but still had a slight vibration. Next week i will have a lot more time to drive it and see how she does. Don't think my short road test was long enough to confirm anything yet.

Trailer brake = 3.73.

 

Not so fast. I have the trailering package with a trailering brake, and have a 3.42 rear-end.

Fine with me. I have 3.42 with no trailer brake. Let's agree it's 3.42 or better.

I'd be tempted to have that minor run-out corrected if you still have any vibes. These trucks seem to be super-sensitive to anything that causes vibration.

I purchased a halfway decent dial indicator with a magnetic base. I should be to at least get an idea if the run out is out of spec, right?

Yes that will work check at the trans, the center, the rear, 5 thousandth's or less is what you wanna shoot for.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
