Current owner of a 2016 Yukon Denali shorty 2wd with no shake/buffeting issues but low speed boom like every other Yukon/Tahoe. I really need a 4wd pickup and was considering GM or the new Titan. I know not every Silverado/Sierra shakes but damn, these posts scare me! Should I stay the hell away or roll the dice? I don't like the Fords (everybody has one), Dodge too unreliable, Tundra is way out of date and offers too few amenities (owned a 2014, stereo was AWFUL, mileage sucked, no auto lights, wipers, push button start, etc.). That leaves GM and Titan. Leaning towards Titan but I'm torn.

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

Drive a Titan and take another look at the Tundra. All of the GM SUVs and trucks are on the same platform.

Damn, CJ, hate to hear that! Look at it this way, I have spent over $2000 on parts to find out that it was bad wheels, talk about frustration! :banghead:

 

Now I have to buy new wheels! I was on autotrader Monday myself, but I am too stubborn to give up.

Wait and see what the new 18 Tundra will be. I read there will be one out in a February auto show. Should be some changes.

I need a HD truck anyways, I've been pushing the limits, hauling wise, on a 1500

The 18 Tundra is supposed to be a complete redesign, everything from the interior to the mechanicals/ drive line. I considered one before I got the ford but the Tundra was still a great truck. Beware of a first model run after a redesign, always a scary year haha. Anyway, I'd expect a modified version of the 5.7L, 4.6L and addition of a diesel engine, updated transmission (8 or 10 speed), quieter interior etc. heres an article https://carsintrend.com/2018-toyota-tundra/

Just fyi rdnckhntr94; you probably already know this. The current Tundra is basically on a 3/4 ton platform. So, when comparing to the competition it should be compared to their 3/4 ton models. I have only good things to say about the Toyota brand in general, especially their engines as they're pretty much bullet proof. Bought my first Toyota in 1969 when I decided to use my GI Bill and go get myself one of those college deplomas. Was a Corona, ran the p!$$ out of it and it never broke. I've considered a Tundra from time to time but can't seem to strike a deal, sales dudes are too proud of them I guess. Besides, I've had good results with the GM twins going back to my 1975 Chev in-line six. Oh, btw, installed the Air Lift system you recommended a couple weeks ago. A really nice setup, especially with the wireless compressor. Haven't made a tow yet though, maybe I'll make a test run in a week or so. Cheers, hope we don't loose you as moderator if you jump ship to a Tundra :) !

I know plenty of people with Toyota Tundras and various other Toyota vehicles, they all love them. My dad had an '87 Tacoma, or whatever they had back then, had the 22re motor and only issue was he went through a few clutches and the body rusted out. Sold it with 365k miles on the original motor. No doubt Toyota vehicles are solid, but the Tundra probably doesn't have the payload capacity that a GM/ Ford/ Ram HD truck has.

 

And a fellow moderator doesn't even have a GM truck currently, drives a Jeep, but he's been a moderator for so long it's no sense in dumping him because he drives something else

Well my 2016 Sierra has been at dealership since Friday. They are going to replace 3 tires that they couldn't road force balance. I really believe it's rearend related and so does service guy but GM says do tires first. And so begins the saga

A GM engineer looked over my truck today. Received a phone call from the dealership that my U-Joints need replacement and "Newly Engineered Steering Bushings". The parts are on order and will hopefully have them installed soon. Maybe GM has a fix for some customers coming out? Again my symptoms are noted mostly in the steering wheel from 70-80 MPH. I do have some shaking in the seat/console but it's no where near what some had discribed. I had the change in my console shake a few times but that was mostly cured by tires that were indeed out of balance. Hopefully any remaining vibration will be fixed. I'm estatic that I have been offered a solution other than wheels and tires. I do have some doubt, as most of us do after dealing with this issue, but I'm still hoping for the best. I'll post updates as they come.

When was the build date of you truck and what is your mileage? Im shocked your u-joints are already bad. Can you feel any play in them under the truck?

I think my build date is march of 2016. I have about 13k and change on the odometer. Bought the vehilcle as New with about 6,000 miles on it. Per the dealership the U-Joints were binding up in the same place on each rotation. I've had vibration issues since day one of purchase.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Apologies in advance, this is a long post, there's a lot to explain.   A friend had a 2010 Avalanche with a 5.3 (LMG) that blew the head gaskets (amount other problems). He gave me a donor motor out of a 2007 suburban (LC9). I got it all installed, and everything hooked up. Went to go start it, and it stumbled a bit at first and died a couple times, but after trying a few times it sounded like it was running very well. Went out to go get some coolant, and came back the next day.    Upon trying to start it, the truck will crank and fire normally and the RPMs will raise to around 1,200 or 1,500, sounding great, and then the RPMs will decrease and it will just die. Repeat that a dozen or two dozen times, and eventually it will fire and idle beautifully. As soon as you touch the throttle, it will start misfiring and sound like absolute trash. When you let off the throttle it will come down and hunt around shaking and misfiring like crazy. A message will come up on the dash saying reduced engine power.    It is throwing codes for a map sensor circuit voltage High, as well as MAF sensor low frequency. With key on engine off, the map sensor reads about 4.8 volts on the vout pin, which the PCM interprets as about 17.8 PSI, contrasted to the barometer which my scan tool tells me reads about 13.5 PSI. However, once the engine starts and is idling this reading drops to about 5-6 PSI at a stable idle, and varies significantly when the engine is misfiring/ hunting like I said before. I should note that I used the intake and MAP sensor from the LC9 engine. I changed the connector on the 2010 harness to The 2007 connector. The pinouts for the sensors were printed right on the top, and I triple-checked that I put the correct wire into the correct place.   On the other hand, the MAF sensor reads consistently 0.0 g/s regardless of State. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out this last detail. I have tried three different sensors, (all of which should be good, one of which was new), I have verified all the wiring from the sensor going back to the PCM, and have verified that the readings at the PCM are the same readings as at the sensor itself. The intake air temperature sensor is also functioning as normal. I verified all the voltages and grounds etc, and everything is as it should be. I don't have an oscilloscope to verify, but I probed with my multimeter (Klein mm720) on frequency Mode, and it reads that on initial cranking, the maf is producing between 3000 and 7000 HZ, and as soon as the engine fires that falls off to below, 1000, and if the engine continues to run, it will produce somewhat erratic readings between 5 and 100-200 HZ. It does increase notably when the engine is revved despite the misfirings. As I said before, I have verified all of the wires going to the PCM, and I have tried multiple known good sensors. I've tested all the pins and voltages from the sensor and verified them against the manual that they are what they should be. I tested all the wiring for both ohms and voltage drop, and everything tested fine. Like I said I tested at the sensor as well as right at the PCM, everything checked out.   The only other thing of note at least I think is the fact that the engine originally in the truck had VVT, but the engine I put in, the lc9, does not have VVT. I modified the cam sensor plug to work. I reference the wiring diagrams and double-checked that I modified the harness correctly to adapt it. There is obviously a code for the VVT solenoid, but I don't think that's the cause of my problems, and this friend will probably have the PCM sent off to tune out the codes at some point.   I'm writing this for my bed so I don't recall the exact codes, but I'll update the post tomorrow morning with the exact codes. And ideas or feedback much appreciated.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.
