Has anyone ordered a '16 for their buy back replacement? Going thru it now and there's nothing in inventory that meets my criteria.

 

Also, I noticed something this weekend while towing the boat. The vibration was basically nonexistent in the console and was concentrated totally in the steering wheel. It's a fairly large boat so I'm sure the tongue weight is a few hundred pounds.

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

Wow, sucks man. Feel your pain, if they buy it back. Are you going to get a 2016 replacement truck or just walk away from the deal into a different brand? Now other question is when you get a replacement truck, Your warranty starts from 0 miles or on whatever miles you left over the old truck?

A 2016 Yukon owner just made the same observation is this thread: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/162779-2015-YUKON-NOISE-IN-CABIN

 

Important clue?

I have a 16 on order because there were no trucks around to replace my 14 with. Fingers crossed it not a shaker.

Old Bill now goes down the highway at any speed he wants knowing that vibrations were just all a bad dream. How is it now in the smooth Tundra lane?

 

 

Smooth sailing :)

.... However the SA said there was a software recall for the 4wd system, something about 4wd engaging at cold start (don't have the work order at the moment). After it was all done, I swear the truck drives smoother and the vibration greatly reduced, if not complete gone. Not sure if it was due to the software recall, or coincidence, or if it'll solve the vibration issue that everyone else is experiencing. Just thought I throw it out there.

 

 

That is interesting, I have always suspected the smooth road jitter software but hey a fix is a fix and if it works for you that is great !!!!

Yeah, keep crossing your fingers. I am sure it will have a major positive effect on the outcome. And if it is another shaker, go through this crap all over again.

anyone else here notice the rear axle isn't lined up with the body 100%? I noticed when putting on my mudflaps the right rear tire sits farther towards the rear by about a fingers width. Wonder if that has anything to do with alignment issues with the rear end?

They said sometime in mid to late jan so yes about 8 weeks.

Its an expression. You dont have to be insulting.

If you have a 16 on order stay on top of the dealer. I had one on order and after 8 weeks GM still hadn't picked up the order.

After I realized my vibration came back intermittently, I'm seriously considering trading in, I'm not sure for what though. Maybe a couple year old dmax? Hmm...

No insult was intended. I just find it hard to believe that you guys are willing to take yet another gamble, knowing that GM has done very little to address and eliminate these issues. There is someone on this forum who went through three different trucks hoping that he would finally get a good one, and they all had vibration issues. If vibration problems were as rare on these trucks as some claim, getting three trucks in a row with vibration issues would be like winning a lottery jackpot. I think the problem is a lot more common than it may appear.

 

If only 0.1% of these trucks had vibration problems, and assuming random distribution of the defective trucks in the whole population, then the odds of getting three vibrating trucks in a row would be 1/1000 X 1/1000 X 1/1000 which is 1 in a billion! These odds are lower than those for winning a power ball lottery jackpot!

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
