I think the LS2's are lousy tires. I took my truck in, they road force balanced all the tires. 2 wouldn't meet spec it took 5 tires and 3 days to get it right. Vibrations mostly gone.

 

Still don't trust the tires slip and spin in the rain. I have a case with GM and Goodyear.

You guys are depressing me with all the talk about how long these tires are lasting. I can't wait to get a set of Michelins on the truck but was hoping to wear these as least half way out.

Might have to turn off the traction control and speed up the wear rate. LOL

GM should be ashamed of themselves for putting lousy tires on their higher end models. I can some what understand on base models.

Just heard from the dealer, road force balancing has found 2 of the new to my truck Continentals are bad. A call to the Zone Manager has been placed, so now I get to play the Hurry Up and Wait game.

Well I have upgraded to Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventures. Better Braking,traction, and a slightly softer ride. First impression they Seem Comparable to the Michelin's On my Family's 2015 Suburban.

 

The important thing is I think they will be a safer tire for me.

 

GM picked the LS2's not sure why other than size.

 

It is the largest size they offer them in. In store advertising says it is a Sunday Driver with a pic of a small Audi in it's sport car display section. No mention of it in the Truck or SUV sections.

 

The important thing is I think they will be a safer tire for me.

I had the LS2s on my truck for 3 or 4 days, couldn't even make it up my driveway in the snow. I got a set of bfg ko2s in oem size, and could make it up in 2 wheel drive with no issues the rest of the winter.

Goodyear should stop selling LS2's to GM for these. Trucks it guys Es them an undeserved bad name. I like the. New tires from Goodyear allot. Not quite as agresive as the KO2 but a significantly better tire then the LS2.

Follow up: Zone Manager denied my request to replace the tires with a set of Michelins, no real shock there! A new set of Continentals was shipped to the dealer, was told they arrived yesterday morning, but still no truck. I hope to get it back today, but once again I am not holding my breath!

Just got a text from my service advisor, they are going to mount a Picoscope to my truck and take it for an extended test drive. Hopefully this will isolate where the vibrations are coming from. This is assuming they can get the new tires mounted and balanced properly.

Update:

Just picked my truck up from the dealer. Picoscope found nothing but normal road vibrations. After road force balancing the tires again, they found the LF and RR to be out of spec and replaced them. Road force balanced them again and got the tires into spec. I haven't driven it far, a few more miles will truly tell the truth, but first impressions is it drives much better.

 

Recap: It took 6 visits over a 39 day period, with 2 sets of wheels and 3 sets of tires, having them balanced multiple times. Running a Picoscope and driving my truck over 50 miles to determine the tires were bad. :ughdance:

I have gone through this with three trucks in 3 years. Goodyears on 2 and bridgstones recently. I have always known and had terrible experiences w/ goodyears. Now I have learned w/ the Bridgestones. 5 visits and 7 tires on the Denali, all road forced balanced still vibrated. I flipped out and went into my sales manager and told them to put michelins on there or I bought my last car there. They said GM will not approve a brand change. I jokingly said i was going to drive the truck through the front window. They got a higher up manger to tell me I had to keep playing this same game. I then asked him to pull up all the cars i bought there in the last 7 years. he did. I asked between dealer fees, service, and profit, and the holdbacks on all those cars, whats the total??? ALOT huh??? I WANT NEW MICHELINS! Told me they would have a meeting and try to get something done. Dealer paid for the tires, regular balance no road force -----------and guess what?------- PERFECT no vibrations, smooth, compliant, great in the rain. Superior tire, transformed my truck.

I should have but couldn't due to principal just bought them earlier. The tech said Michelins solve every problem. GM knows, they are just wearing us down…..

Update: I have had the truck back for about 10 days now, and finally put a few miles on it. Lower speeds it drives ok, higher speeds 50mph and up, the vibrations are still there. Called GM and informed them of the situation, I was told "we are working on what can be done next, we will get back with you". That was last Friday Aug 12th. I am getting tired of this bandaid repair approach! Hey GM please provide customer service and replace these junk tires!

I hope this is my final update: Took my truck to another dealer and they did a great job! Re-checked all four tires on the road force machine and found 1 tire out of spec, made some adjustments and got it within limits. Tech drove it and still found a vibration. He hooked the Picoscope up and drove it for a few miles and found 3 of the 4 tires had a lateral vibration. Replaced all 3 tires and test drove it with the scope, and still had 1 tire out of spec. Made some adjustments and got them all in spec. It now drives great!

To recap: This took 7 visits and 2 dealers for a total of 46 days in the shop. It took 2 sets of wheels and 5 sets of tires to get this right.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
