I I replaced my struts at 45k with  part number 84061228 and jit rides much better than the original ones. i also just saw an even newer part available 84176631.  When these struts totally fail they ride like hell and you must replace them asap! It feels like no shocks and springs,  just solid and extremely dangerous!! I mean stiff as hell.

 

I also upgraded my 2015 suburbans tires  to the BF goodrich plus (linked below). These tires are oem on the Escalade and do ride much better with less road noise. Still booms in 4 cyl mode at speeds like 25mph and a couple different conditions. If you do mostly highway driving you should be fine, but at this price point it's ridiculous to even say such a thing .lol

Since I replaced my 4 shocks with normal gas shocks and since I installed 17" methods with yokohama and tuned the car  with full time v8 mode and also replaced the steering bushing with the updated ones all of that car is normal now that any gm suv should be.

Hi all,   I created an online survey to better quantify the issues surrounding our trucks. The goal is to get more accurate numbers. The survey is open to *everyone*, including those with no vibra

Two months ago I bought a new 2017 Tahoe that has this issue (buffeting and booming that causes ear pressure).  I've taken it to my local Chevy dealership twice now.  First time they removed the headliner and saw that the roof wasn't glued to one of the cross bars so they fixed that. I brought it back a second time because the buffeting and booming was still there.  The service manager said he test drove it and found nothing wrong.  He said the car feels normal to him and another mechanic.  He said he has never had anyone else claim this problem.  I brought the car back for a third time today but the service manager said they won't even look at it. I know that I have to give them 3 chances to fix the issue before I file for lemon law buy back.  The Tahoe will sit at the dealership for the next 10 days while I'm out of town for work.  

 

Here's what my very helpful Chevrolet Customer Assistance Rep had to say about my situation today:

"At this time, the dealer isn't going to make any repairs to the vehicle because they don't find anything wrong. Being that we're not technically inclined here at Customer Service, we're at a standstill due to the dealer being the eyes and the ears for us and them not able to proceed further because there isn't an issue present at this time."

 

Anyone have any advice?  Can I start the Lemon Law buy back process or must they actually attempt to fix something?

I assume when you refer to ear pressure/ booming/ buffeting,  it is with all windows up and no open sun roof, correct?

Funny thing is I've spoken to several people with these vehicles and all of them say they have no such issues and they love their Tahoes..........

Folks, the roof is the problem. I bought some hard rubber stock from MMC and fabbed up some spacers to wedge between my roof rack and roof and the problem disappeared.  Take off the spacers and it comes right back.  My 'burban is awesome now with the spacers in place. 

 

These trucks are made of extremely thin sheetmetal.  The roof, short of welding it to the bows, will just pull itself free.  You need to hold it down by some means.  I suppose you could rivet it to the bows but you'd need to seal it very well.  Maybe one could bedliner the roof to stiffen it if they wanted.

 

Anyway, if anyone has this issue, you have two choices.  Make GM buy it back or find a way to hold the roof down.  All the tire combos, etc... might make it a bit better, but rest assured you will find a road or speed condition that gets the roof flapping.  Hold the roof down, you can run all kinds of tires, etc... just like any other normal vehicle, and enjoy them.

Very interesting. Can you post pictures of these spacers and where you put them?

Well i was one of the  original people that started this for him I bought a 2015 Yukon with cabin pressure I got them to do a buyback.  Then I ordered the 2015 midyear that supposedly fix the problem. I did not except the vehicle when I Came in it had the same problem. My wife would love to have a Yukon we just took out a 2018 yukon xl.  And it has the same issue from all the way back into 2015.  I give up I will wait until 2020 when we see the next model. Its unreal.  It is so bad that I talk to salesman at the dealership and they are having trouble selling The yukons because of the issue. They 99 out of a 100 have the issue.

Frank, I ordered two cross bars so I can try your fix.  Can you provide a picture of the fabricated spacers and/or a link to the hard rubber stock you bought?

Been a while since I was on this forum. Thought I would check in.  Can't say I'm surprised to see that this issue still exists. Many of us always said it seems to be a basic design issue, and looks like that is the case. Sad.

 

My update is that after 78,000 km, I hardly notice the buffeting. And no, it's not that much m used to it.... it's still there. But not nearly as prevalent as it was when the truck was new. Only in certain road surfaces, or after the vehicle sits for several days and flat spots the tires, is it as bad as when new. Why the improvement? No idea. Only theory I have is the suspension and body bushings are getting worn/softer, and changing either stiffness (and hence natural frequencies) and/or the transmissibility of vibrations from the tires and drivetrain.

 

in fact, the worst vibration in feel in then steering wheel is in V4 mode. Definitely generates more vibration. But, we've learned to live with it. 

 

We we still like the vehicle for its size for our family, and it looks great. But I will certainly never buy a GM product after this turd-mobile. GM screwed something up on this and decided not to come up with a true fix. Arse-wipes!

 

i haven't tried Franks fix with the roof rack cross bars, but thought of it back in 2014 right after I bought the thing. I guess I couldn't  bring myself to fork over $500 more to GM (or whatever they cost) to fix their screw up. On principle!

I did model them in SolidWorks but I have not built to the model. I just made them to-fit with my band saw.

 

So my prototypes are urethane bar stock.  I used (2) 1.5" square pieces (24" length) glued together but going forward I would use something harder.  Maybe something like this...  https://www.mcmaster.com/#=1ava2d9

 

I also suspect going to 36" will help as well.  I use 2" wide weather stripping between the bars and roof itself.

 

I drilled holes to get the radii and then cut into them tangentially with the band saw to try to mimic the shape of the roof racks.  I did have to purchase the roof racks separately since my truck did not come with them.

 

The good news is that I am completely happy with this truck.  I went up a size to some more off road worthy tires since I camp and occasionally get the truck into 4 low (locker works!).  It rougher as expected but it's not different now than any other truck with larger harder tires.

 

If this does not get rid of the booming, Dynamat or equivalent will.  Buffeting is a very low frequency phenomenon where the booming is higher in frequency and well addressed by Dynamat or similar.

It's sad GM walked away from this issue. Other than being skeptical about small turbo charged engines, I do believe Ford just torched GM with the Expedition...better thoughtful design, better technological features, better sound system, and comparable price points.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
