If this is true, GM should be able to hold their supplier accountable for the costs to replace the rear ends, no?

 

Does anyone know if this was a new supplier or a new line for our trucks? Do they make all gear sets or just certain ones?

they changed the method for how they cut the gears. supposedly they went from a 5 step to a 2 step

 

All good....just picked it up and the new tire & road force balance did the trick......

huh? so have you already had it in the shop for vibration?

 

I'm going to start a class action suite against the LT owners who go it for free.

I'll give mine back if they give me full MSRP so I can change brands, I don't like this feature

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

Do they require rear end replacement with 4k miles on the clock?

GM was so much more efficient than that! Truck was delivered with that requirement already built in.

My point, however, is that some of us have been lucky enough to get our vibes fixed. It's one fine truck vibe free.

Legally, I believe that GM is responsible for ensuring that parts meet specs before installation. Cutting corners, in this case, is costing GM big time, unless the customer accepts the "performing as designed" b.s.

Sure, but if the root cause was a bad batch of parts, GM in theory shouldn't be as resistant to fixing this since they shouldn't have to eat the cost of parts and labour. They should be able to recover the costs from AAM.

 

AAM may not have been cutting corners while cutting gears. This 5 to 2 cut process seems interesting and ironically was designed to reduce nvh.

 

Either way, it looks like GM engaged and have found the issue(s). This is great news.

GM has provided the vibration feature as standard equipment on a select number of trucks.

I think on one of there commercials they refer to this feature as perfection .

This was discussed before and someone stated that their truck which was repurchased by GM showed up on his dealer's lot as a "certified used vehicle" several weeks later.

 

Buying back to GM means finding another sucker to buy the same truck.

When I was having problems with my Sierra with the frame coating peeling , the CARFAX listed "inspections" and "serviced" when the truck was traded in and hit the used lot. Some other poor sap ended up with a " beautiful like new " Sierra - raining rust from underneath.

If you are buying low mile used- best to ask for the dealer service report on what was actually done.

More than a few reports in this thread of folks that have had their rear end replaced without any improvement at all. Now were they replaced with more defective parts, who knows.

I'd be interested in knowing what everyone's road force balance numbers are.

they don't matter, they aren't the root of the problem. GM has actually dropped their allowable spec to below industry standard to try to reduce the vibration.... it hasn't worked

Still dicking around with mine, waiting for the GM to figure a solution....

 

I still go back to thinking about Electronic Power Steering Software issue..

 

I have good RF on rear tires, Fronts are slightly high with 16 and 21 RF numbers.

 

Getting a slight vibration in fronts on straightaways, highway speed sweeping turns excites the vibrations.

 

According to the Smooth Road Shake Software, it should compensate for slight out of balance conditions.

Why is it not compensating? The following comes directly from GM advertising:

 

Has anyone tried or had their service department reset the software for this?

 

 

Electric Power Steering System

 

The belt-driven electric power steering system features an integrated electromechanical power steering unit, containing the power steering control module, its sensors, the power steering motor, a belt drive and a ball nut mechanism.

 

The power steering control module is part of the power steering assist motor assembly and is replaceable as a complete unit independent of the steering gear assembly. The torque sensor is integrated with the steering gear pinion and is serviced as part of the steering gear.

 

The power steering control module has a software feature referred to as Smooth Road Shake Compensation that reduces steering wheel vibration caused by an imbalance from the front tire/wheel assemblies. The vibration transmitted to the steering wheel is referred to as Smooth Road Shake and is a phenomenon that occurs only at highway speeds and on smooth roads. The power steering control module employs active controls to sense and reduce the periodic torque component applied to the steering wheel caused by the wheel imbalance force. This software feature will compensate for a specific range of imbalance.

 

In addition to smooth road shake, road crown is compensated for by the steering wheel angle sensor signal, which calculates the intended driving direction. The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) receives serial data message inputs from the steering wheel angle sensor.

 

The steering wheel angle sensor does not require centering often. However, if the steering wheel angle sensor is not correctly centered it may create a lead/pull condition. If this condition is encountered, always perform the Steering Angle Sensor Centering procedure in SI before performing a wheel alignment

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
