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

When did you trade your Denali in? I'll have to say, two buddies have XLT F150's and even though they are a lower trim package the fit and finish is way better than my High Country and the ride is hand over fist the best riding truck I've ever ridden in. They feel like I'm floating on clouds compared to my sport tuned suspension lol

FYI there was a recall on some continental tires associated with the vibration. you should check with dealer

I found the recall notice and printed what visual tire information I needed and will check my tires today. They are of the size in question..

 

Thank you very much.

I do have to say that I am in love with the F150, its an amazing truck. I've been sitting on the news of the swap for a little bit (wanted to make sure all of the paperwork went through and was good to go before I made it public). The Denali had some issues that weren't noticed/ didn't happen on either of the test drives I took it on (Trans clunk from 1st to 2nd gear, radio completely shut down while driving and wouldn't come back until I shut the truck off, when backing up the truck would randomly seem like it was grinding gears and the rear end would bounce/shudder... The issue which I can't discuss, I knew about it, but it was so minimal compared to the old truck that I was going to deal with it).

 

Once I noticed the other issues, I decided not to spend any more of my life dealing with warranty claims like this so I said "See Ya Latah". The F150 rides great, fit and finish is great... that 3.5EB.... HOLY CRAP, this thing is insanely quick. The only 2 downsides I've found so far are the XM radio sound quality isn't quite as good as it was in the GM, so I'm looking into seeing if I can swap the antenna to fix it. And the LED Headlamps while way better than the Halogen for both GM and Ford, they aren't quite as good as the LED on the GM, but they are a close second, and the Auto HighBeam feature helps to make up for it.

Wowski !! From the frying pan into the fire, and then from there into the unknown LOL. Friend of mine just bought a new F250 with a V8 and loves it.

 

My '16 Z71 seems to have pretty much ceased vibrating with the onslaught of cold weather... go figure. So Looks like I'll prolly have to wait until spring time to jump back into the fray. But that's ok. Hopefully a welcome break from the vibes and the bullshit.... for now I guess :dunno:

 

Best of luck with that new Ferd, Jesse!! :fingersx:

They may be fine now but could cause vibration later. GM found this through all the complaints re vibration so I would push them to replace them if you can.

Dale,

 

I can't imagine GM or a dealer replacing tires that are not specifically listed in a NTSA recall or any recall. What would I base my request for the replacement on?

First of all Congrats on purchase of another RIG!

Secondly Ford does not install LED Headlights on your RIG..........

 

Now for the drum roll!........Careful with the Wrench? You will understand the FERD Wrench soon enough....The 3.5EB is Quick like you stated! You can only sell "quick/super fast to the younger generation" look I am telling you the truth! That 3.5 will foul it's spark plugs, it will COLD RATTLE START, IT will sometimes even die in a HOUSTON DOWN POUR OF RAIN, Did you go buy a case of oil? Hope you did because they consume OIL LIKE NOBODY'S Business which is completely normal for a TWIN SCROLL TURBO V6 spinning at 30K RPM's engine RPM's @5K to propel that 5,000LB sled "FAST" timing chain snapping and it has how many timing chains?, How many Cams? Oh....and you will never even get close to the MPG's you were looking for either.

 

I honestly hope your FERD does treat you better than the crappy chevy! No I am not jealous, actually I am quite scared for ya!

no worries mookdoc,

 

hate to disagree with ya, but Ford does offer LED headlamps on some of its trim packages (I do have them) they are a crystal quartz design with what is essentially a non removable LED, if it goes out, the entire assembly gets replaced, in which case I'd go aftermarket..

 

I don't typically rev it up to go quick, but it was just something cool to see when I first got it. I do have some oil on reserve as I check all my fluid levels on all my vehicles midway between the oil change. Cadillacs do the same thing with oil, just FYI, my dads 06 CTS will go through a 3-4 quarts between each oil change.

 

The water issue was allegedly fixed back in 2013 or 2014 when they redesigned the intake for the engine, so hopefully that wont end up being a problem.

 

As for Fuel Efficiency, I'm currently at 15.2 on the winter blend and I'm still doing some testing to see how I can get the best results. My old Chevy would drop to mid to upper 15's on Winter Blend, so as of now there isn't much difference there. (City Driving)

 

I only plan to keep it for maybe 6 years, so hopefully I wont have the issues that come later on. and with a 5year 60k powertrain warranty, I should be covered for that kind of stuff. But as of now, I love it.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Atlas · Posted

      If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
