the deal is they take mine and give me a new 2017. whether I keep it or not is another story, not sure what Ill do at the moment, I'm terrified to have the vibration come back, and I already know that it is very very slight on the 2017 denali's I tested. im trying to get them to put better tires on before I accept.. If its gone I'll consider keeping it, if its still there I'm going straight to Ford or Toyota... I think

Yours options are limited no doubt .

Wish you the best outcome what ever you choose

I finally found a fix!

 

After buying 2 different 2014 GM trucks with this issue (see past posts) and battling GM over a year, I finally found a fix for the sub-par manufacturing of the new GM truck model. I bought a 2015 Ford F150 FX4 and I have not looked back since. I have always been a GM guy, but they will never get another dime from me or my family. I suggest you all do the same.

 

Good luck guys.

 

LOL, I also found a similar "fix". A 2016 Ram Laramie with the 5.7. This truck ROCKS!!!

Is that thing entered in for the ugliest dog of the world contest?

Pro Comp ProRunner SS all around with the height adjustable fronts. Only saving a few bucks over Bilstein 5100s. I'll let you know if it was worth it after I pick it up. Heading there now.

No, but her mother finished 6th at Westminster.

uh huh. Well I'm glad I got out of the dog show circuit many many years ago. If what you say is true, I can see that my instincts were right about how the show circuit has deteriorated drastically.

In all seriousness, is my 2016 4x2 LTZ ever going to ride smooth over 70mph. I see a ton of posts about the vibration issue, but see very little about the issue being corrected by the dealer. Please tell me that I did not make a mistake by buying this truck as 75% of my driving is on the highway. I even asked my service writer to search ch the Internet and he will see that this is not a unique issue to my truck.

Probably not

If my instincts are right they are glad you are gone.

OK. Got it back around 3:30pm. Hung out for a while with family. Drove it on my normal roads. Took it up to 95 on the freeway with my friend who is in town this weekend. He was impressed with the power and features. Does it ride better? Yes. Paid good money for it. The hard console shake seems to be gone. All of the little imperfections and potholes are way way less noticeable. That's all I really wanted for right now. Next I'm getting a beefier tire to reduce road feedback. But does it still vibrate? Fkin' Yeah. Tighter more controlled suspension makes V4 mode vibe pronounced. Torque converter maybe?

Well at least you made improvements in some of the ride characteristics. And you are not the first to question the torque converter. Anyone get a 2017 yet ?

    • I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome. 
    • Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
