I hope this all blows up in there face. I may go and park my truck at a Chevy dealership this Saturday or Sunday. So people going to look at these trucks can read my back window on the way in to the dealership. And maybe they will second guess there thoughts on buying a Chevy. I drive in to Boston Monday thru Friday I am in the traffic in the morning and at night. There's a lot of people in traffic that will read that my truck is a lemon.

hahaha, well you can't park it on their property, but infront maybe. I drive from the south shore to Boston most days aswell, but I am able to miss the worst of the traffic so I can generally go at a pretty good speed. however since my truck has multiple speeds that it vibrates/ shakes at I just about always have it.

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

Well, C6Bill, you read way more into my post than I put in it. I did not state nor infer that he shouldn't be allowed to complain. Actually, I was merely jesting with him about being able to afford a 2016 LTZ on a soldiers pay. But heck, maybe he's a Bird Colonel, trust fund baby, married well, who knows. None of my business for sure but on the other hand I do enjoy exercising my 1st Amendment rights, politically correct or not. How about them apples, lol :)

 

Wow talk about reading between the lines. I responded to exactly what you typed.

 

 

"here you are complaining about your $55,000 2016 LTZ Z71!"

 

 

 

And yes I read this part too

 

Not being critical. I think you guys earn every cent you're paid. I'm just amazed, that's all!

 

 

 

Isn't that kind of like me saying "you are a dick, no offense intended" ???

No offense intended? Hell, boy. Why don't you man up and say what you mean and own it? Yeah, I can be a Dick, been called a lot worse, lol! Btw, I've never come across any Army dudes who refer to themselves as a soldier. Just not the way we talk.....

Fixed for the western PA folk ;).

 

My truck is still vibration free at 4100 miles. I've been watching it closely though.

Back on topic. Truck are way too big to be used as vibrators.

hahahaha but they can get your girl hot just by driving ;)

New to the site and been watching this thread for quite a while. I currently have a 2014 FX4 F150 (don't hate me). I really want a Sierra All Terrain SLT...every time I see one on the road I stare like a stalker. My F150 has been virtually perfect and I now have 37,000 miles on it. This thread is the only reason I haven't traded for a 2016 Sierra! I keep waiting to read that the vibration issues are fixed for new 16's or at least that the issue is found and all vehicles will be fixed. What the heck GM...I want to buy one of your trucks!

Yep, looking to see if GM will correct their terrible mistakes.

 

Don't worry, Ford has plenty of their own as well. Time will tell if you're lucky or not.

Curious if there is a particular model combination that is most prone to the vibration issues? Crew Cab vs others...5.3 vs 6.2...Z71

/All Terrain vs standard suspension?

^With the amount of turbos, gizmos and whatnots in the F150... I want to see how they hold up to 300k. They have the carbon build up also on the intake valves. I give Ford props for what they're doing, going hi-tech bug most trucks are used for business. In business it's about $/mile and not breaking down. When the ecoboost came out they had the inter-coolers collecting water and bogging the engines down. Not sure where that ended up. And the new '17?+ Ecoboost is to have electronic controlled turbos. Like my 335i BMW. 6.2 please.... so much more simple.

 

 

Deanno33- problems is widespread on configs...

Thanks FL335i..thats kinda what I thought as there didn't seem to be a trend with any particular configuration that I read.

      AFM Experience

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
