Mine was built August 2013. None of the issues I keep reading about here on this forum.

Done messing with the vibration issues after 4 attempts. Living with it for now. Today I started the truck after work and the Intellilink went out. No display. Then I walk around the front of the truck and notice the front bumper is starting to pit and rust. One month? really. Had the rusting issue on the last two Sierras I had. Every week something different. Getting tired of this. 2 more feet of snow due this week and I am not giving it up for a loaner car. Ford is looking better every day.

Built In June, vibration problem, ditching the goodyears as we speak, should be all set after this. Dealership had gm field service engineer out to balance driveshaft, and that fixed 75% of it, still felt a slight vibration in steering wheel, dealership is putting bridgestones on it today. Other than that truck is real nice and solid.

Mine also has had none of these issues since new (except for the exhaust overheating recall :banghead: ).

 

Keep in mind Chevy/GMC have been stacking up the quality and performance awards with all the new products. In this day and age with tech where it's at, when any repetitive issue is discovered it is probably root caused and resolved so quick that most any driver issue experienced before any long term wear and tear is just an outlier. :dunno:

Mine was built in November, I think. The only issue I've had fixed was the recall due to overheating in low temperatures.

 

With that being said, I had a problem where the truck wouldn't start two or three times. I bought the truck January 2nd. There is about 1050 miles on it. I haven't had the "no start" problem for about 500 miles.

I would like to know how the Bridgestones compare to the Goodyears when you get it back if you don't mind posting. Also, which Bridgestone are you getting & which Goodyears are you replacing?

 

My Denali came in last week & there are no issues at all. Love it!

The goodyear assurance is what is getting replaced, the factory rep replace two because when they warmed up they went out of road force spec. Idk why they did not put four new ones one, according the service manager they had an update in manufacturing. As far as the Bridgestones, i know this sounds dumb, but i was so mad that my truck was not fixed when i went there friday that i did not ask after three hours of fighting,driving with the shop foreman and he felt it they agreed to swap to bridgestones, fairly certain that it is the dueler HT but not 100%. i will let you know tomorrow.

Mine was built in January, 2014 and I only have 175 miles on it with absolutely no issues other than trying not to spin the rear tires:). Although I am getting a little more used to the 6.2L.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
