Yeah but it's still a boring Crapota.

 

I'll take my good ol' boring, bulletproof, and oh so reliable 07' Crapota 4Runner any day of the week over that rolling POS 97' GMC Sierra I got rid of after owning it for 16 miserable years

Yep, my girls 2013 Runner has been flawless after 60k miles.

 

My 2016 Sierra has numerous problems, some that can't be resolved yet...

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.

6.2 or 5.3?

After reading about this topic A LOT, I feel bad for those having to deal with this, but at the same time, I'm crossing my fingers that GM has rectified the issue for '17. I only have 4000 kms on my Sierra, but I have had zero vibration or shake issues.

Going to pick up Sierra. Dealer replaced 3 tires. I'm skeptical that this fixed it

 

Wouldn't get your hopes up. Dealer has replaced 11 of my tires. No change in vibration.

Well picked it up. It's better but I don't think it's 100% gone. Maybe 50% better. I'm going to give it some time and see...?

They didn't try anything else? Seems like they are just throwing tires at it without trying to diagnose issue

Page 200!! And still no word from GM , not even a "we are aware and working to remedy". Every day I repete to my self, "my truck doesn't vibrate ,my truck doesn't vibrate, my truck doesn't vibrate". I rarely take it on the interstate. Who's going to be the first to start a class action lawsuit? :rant:

 

 

 

Once vibrator always a vibrator. And now we're on page 708?

GM made me remove my leveling kit before they would send an engineer. I removed it and put in the shop. Engineer did the same shit and it's "in spec". No further claims to be warrantied.

Having a leveling kit doesn't get them off the hook. Blaming tires is an excuse. "In spec" is also an excuse. Aftermarket stuff doesn't allow them to skirt the warranty. They use this wording to turn you away. It's not like you turned the sheet metal inside out.

    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel. 
    • I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
