Antone having any issues with the 6.2. Im close to getting mine bought back, Im not willing to drop another 15k on a 2500 so looks like Im gambling with another 1500. Maybe a more recent build date and a different engine will eliminate some possible issues.

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

Bolt the flapper open on the exhaust and see if that helps, it took my v4 drone/vib away, and then go and have the dealer order you the updated exhaust if your truck was built before December 8 2013

 

 

My truck was built 03/14 and had vibration and squeaky between v4/v8. It also sounded like a turbo with as much as it whistled. No update IMO & its just crap their feeding us. I clamped mine and solved my problem myself.

Ok quick question, well two. One, where can I find this flap exactly some can do it and two would a aftermarket exhaust work better/ take care of the problem?

The adaptive valve is right behind the muffler and yes an aftermarket would eliminate the dumb @$$ valve. Truck sounds better as well with it open

a few pages back someone posted a link to the fix so I printed it off and took it to the dealer and asked if they seen this and they said no but then they popped the service bulletin right up on there computer. We went out and got all the info of my truck like the build date and the number that is stamped on the muffler and mine fit in the bulletin so they ordered me the new one

Just got mine back from the dealer after four days. They balanced the tires and said I need to break in my suspension and the vibration would go away.

Take it back! Tell them to road force the tires or replace them, and then drive another new one on the lot and prove that your truck doesn't need "braking in"!

A friend of mine has a 2014 LTZ Z71 with over 17,000 miles on it and his vibrates at speeds over 70+ mph. I think it's the tires. But it's definitely not in need of "breaking in" at that many miles so I'm calling BS on that response from the dealer.

They road forced them and said it was only 10 pounds off. I drove another while they were working on mine and it was smooth as silk on the interstate. I bet I will be stuck with it

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
