Current owner of a 2016 Yukon Denali shorty 2wd with no shake/buffeting issues but low speed boom like every other Yukon/Tahoe. I really need a 4wd pickup and was considering GM or the new Titan. I know not every Silverado/Sierra shakes but damn, these posts scare me! Should I stay the hell away or roll the dice? I don't like the Fords (everybody has one), Dodge too unreliable, Tundra is way out of date and offers too few amenities (owned a 2014, stereo was AWFUL, mileage sucked, no auto lights, wipers, push button start, etc.). That leaves GM and Titan. Leaning towards Titan but I'm torn.

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

Drive a Titan and take another look at the Tundra. All of the GM SUVs and trucks are on the same platform.

Vibration back above 80mph on my truck... ready for a trade in? Who knows, stay tuned!

Damn, CJ, hate to hear that! Look at it this way, I have spent over $2000 on parts to find out that it was bad wheels, talk about frustration! :banghead:

 

Now I have to buy new wheels! I was on autotrader Monday myself, but I am too stubborn to give up.

Wait and see what the new 18 Tundra will be. I read there will be one out in a February auto show. Should be some changes.

I need a HD truck anyways, I've been pushing the limits, hauling wise, on a 1500

The 18 Tundra is supposed to be a complete redesign, everything from the interior to the mechanicals/ drive line. I considered one before I got the ford but the Tundra was still a great truck. Beware of a first model run after a redesign, always a scary year haha. Anyway, I'd expect a modified version of the 5.7L, 4.6L and addition of a diesel engine, updated transmission (8 or 10 speed), quieter interior etc. heres an article https://carsintrend.com/2018-toyota-tundra/

Just fyi rdnckhntr94; you probably already know this. The current Tundra is basically on a 3/4 ton platform. So, when comparing to the competition it should be compared to their 3/4 ton models. I have only good things to say about the Toyota brand in general, especially their engines as they're pretty much bullet proof. Bought my first Toyota in 1969 when I decided to use my GI Bill and go get myself one of those college deplomas. Was a Corona, ran the p!$$ out of it and it never broke. I've considered a Tundra from time to time but can't seem to strike a deal, sales dudes are too proud of them I guess. Besides, I've had good results with the GM twins going back to my 1975 Chev in-line six. Oh, btw, installed the Air Lift system you recommended a couple weeks ago. A really nice setup, especially with the wireless compressor. Haven't made a tow yet though, maybe I'll make a test run in a week or so. Cheers, hope we don't loose you as moderator if you jump ship to a Tundra :) !

I know plenty of people with Toyota Tundras and various other Toyota vehicles, they all love them. My dad had an '87 Tacoma, or whatever they had back then, had the 22re motor and only issue was he went through a few clutches and the body rusted out. Sold it with 365k miles on the original motor. No doubt Toyota vehicles are solid, but the Tundra probably doesn't have the payload capacity that a GM/ Ford/ Ram HD truck has.

 

And a fellow moderator doesn't even have a GM truck currently, drives a Jeep, but he's been a moderator for so long it's no sense in dumping him because he drives something else

Well my 2016 Sierra has been at dealership since Friday. They are going to replace 3 tires that they couldn't road force balance. I really believe it's rearend related and so does service guy but GM says do tires first. And so begins the saga

A GM engineer looked over my truck today. Received a phone call from the dealership that my U-Joints need replacement and "Newly Engineered Steering Bushings". The parts are on order and will hopefully have them installed soon. Maybe GM has a fix for some customers coming out? Again my symptoms are noted mostly in the steering wheel from 70-80 MPH. I do have some shaking in the seat/console but it's no where near what some had discribed. I had the change in my console shake a few times but that was mostly cured by tires that were indeed out of balance. Hopefully any remaining vibration will be fixed. I'm estatic that I have been offered a solution other than wheels and tires. I do have some doubt, as most of us do after dealing with this issue, but I'm still hoping for the best. I'll post updates as they come.

When was the build date of you truck and what is your mileage? Im shocked your u-joints are already bad. Can you feel any play in them under the truck?

I think my build date is march of 2016. I have about 13k and change on the odometer. Bought the vehilcle as New with about 6,000 miles on it. Per the dealership the U-Joints were binding up in the same place on each rotation. I've had vibration issues since day one of purchase.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
