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

For sure. Also, all you cold weather dudes and dudettes who live up there where your roads are salted and drive Tundras should be aware of the recent rusting frame recall. Don't know how they're going to do that. Should be interesting.

 

 

 

Well at least they are admitting there is a problem and are trying to fix it lol

 

 

Wasn't that frame issue fixed years ago?

I remember passing the local yota dealership a few years back and there were stacks and stacks of new frames for the Tacomas, I guess they had corrosion issues as well

Yes, the tacos did, but I thought the Tundra did as well. I guess they fixed the taco and not the Tundra?

 

I know someone who bought one of the Tacos with the frame corrossion issue. He bought it used for 11k, and one day he went in for a different warranty service, the dealer called him and said something along the lines of "Toyota is telling us ask if we can pull your truck from the road because they are so back logged on replacement frames. If you're willing, we are being told to cut you a check for your full purchase price and Toyota is going to put you in a loaner for a couple weeks until you find a new vehicle. We are very sorry this happened."

 

Talk about customer service and responsibility

Fine with me. I have 3.42 with no trailer brake. Let's agree it's 3.42 or better.

Trailer brake controller is not related to the rear end ratio. The only trucks that have a 3.73 rear end and 5.3L engine have a special Max Tow package. They have a bigger rear end 9.76" versus the the 9.5". AAM only cuts 3.73 gear sets for the 9.76" rear on the new 12 bolt rears. All trucks with the 5.3 and max tow will also have the factory tow mirrors as they are part of the max tow package as well. My understanding is all 6.2L will also have the 9.76 rear but with a 3.42 unless they have the max tow package as well. Long story short the 3.73 gear set is only available for the 9.76 rear and only on trucks with Max tow package.

My 2014 Silverado Z71, 4.3L V6 has a vibration at 30MPH, 40MPH and 50MPH.. It comes and goes.. I have put the speed control on as soon as I feel it and the vibration will continue for a bit and then disappear. If I accelerate or decelerate 1-2MPH the vibration goes away.

 

The one thing I did notice is that the RPM's when I start to feel the vibration for all 3 speeds is consistently around 1200 rpm.

 

The truck was fine until I took it in for a service update 2 weeks ago.. Does this make sense to anyone??

 

Almost feel like it is some type of shift point problem..

I think that would be the V6 AFM vibration ? I think there might be a service bulletin for that one where they reprogram and of add something to the exhaust ?

Hey all. Questions for you folks regarding the issues. Currently own a 06 Denali XL with a 104K on it. Looking to trade-in and have the following 3 rigs in mind:

 

2017 Silverado K1500 LTZ Z71 Midnight Edition

2016 or 2017 Suburban LTZ or Premier (2017)

2016 Denali XL

 

Do you guys know if these models/trims are reporting these same issues? Would I be able to tell from a test drive?

 

There's simply nothing else out there currently that interests us, but I'd be pretty upset spending $50-70K and run into these issues. I've also heard rumors of issues with the new 5.3 Ecotec3 engines, but that's a thread for another day. Thanks in advance for any replies or advice.

I'd get another truck if I were you. At this point I couldn't recommend these trucks to anyone. Only got 4K on my truck and its been to the shop 4 times for shaking/vibration issues.

 

Get a Toyota or Titan

Dad rode with me this weekend, mentioned he felt vibration constantly. I know there is still slight vibe in the truck, nothing I can't live with. Then we started talking about getting a gooseneck to haul all of our quads and SxS's so that would require a bigger truck, hmmmm... lol

So I take it it's been confirmed the 2017's are still exhibiting these issues?

 

So bummed to hear this. I am just not a fan of the looks of any of the competition. We have 3 kids and also regularly tow a boat, so space, comfort and a reliable tow rig is important.

Get a 2500HD if you must have a GM truck. Less likely to have the shake.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
