So I have an extended test drive with a 1500 4 x4 with the 20 inch wheels with the Goodyear Ls's.

Feel a slight vibration on the interstate thru the steering wheel.

Is this normal. I am starting to feel concerned after reading about some of the problems on the 14's etc...

I've got a 17 LTZ,4x4 with 20" wheels. I only have about 400 miles on it, but I've not felt any vibration at any speed.

Welcome! As the previous poster suggested there are several threads on this topic. I suggest you ask the Dealer to check it out before you proceed with any deal. Reading some of the threads on this topic may cause you to pass on a potentially great truck! It is most likely a simple balance or alignment issue that is the culprit causing the vibrations.

Could it be AFM causing slight powertrain vibes? I noticed when mine switches to 4cyl I can feel a slight harmonic vibration difference.

Have we ever nailed down the exact cause of this? If one truck has it and another doesn't from the same year, is this a production line QC issue? If this was a design flaw, every '17 with the same specs would shake or vibrate.

 

I haven't felt anything in mine after 5000 kms.

Easy enough to check - manually shift down a gear or hit tow haul............

I know your asking about a 2017, but my 2016 4x4 with the Goodyear LS'S is a massive vibrator.

I noticed a drastic improvement of vibrations with the Range AFM delete. Much smoother.

You must have had some issues with your system then because you shouldn't even notice when it is in 4 cylinder mode. None of them I have ever owned or been in could tell and none of the reviews can tell with out looking at the DIC. Probably should have had that looked at before disabling, could have been a deeper issue (rare things do happen on occasion).

If it's vibrating now, it will only get worse. Look at another truck, it's a lot easier to check out trucks than getting your dealer to fix the damn thing after you buy it..

The problem with the vibration issues here, is the steel is high tensile light weight. This amplifies every vibration through the stiffer body mounts and bushings.

 

Some trucks will not vibrate as much, as each piece of steel has very different characteristics in density. Each truck may have issues also causing issues alignment, driveshaft, pinion angle, and axle run out!

 

GM knows of these problems, in fact 80-90% of their buybacks are for this known issue.

It is cheaper to let people struggle and finally give up in disgust, or for the few that follow through with a buyback.

 

Have your dealer include an agreement on the bill of sales that if a vibration occours that can not be solved under regular warranty within the first 4k a replacement vehicle will be offered at no loss to you.

 

They won't do it, cause they know the problem as well. If you are one of many with these vibrations on your new vehicle, don't agree to go home drive it for another 1-2k and come back....stop leave your vehicle there, open a case with the manufacture, keep a log book of events. You must allow the manufacture to attempt to solve the issue before any mediation, buybacks, or court will rule in your favour.

Videotape and include your whiteness's statement.

 

Oh shame on you GM for not finding a fix for your loyal customers!

 

 

Best of luck

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      I dont care what Lake says. Goodnight.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
