Jerk at stop/go & rough idle

Hi people, new to the forums. I have a 2016 Silverado crewcab 4x4 z71 with 17k miles. Over the last few months my truck has been "jerking" or feeling like a hard slam when coming to a slow stop or after I hit the gas pedal. I'm scheduling an appointment to get checked out, but looking for input on possible cause or better way to describe it. Additionally, I've noticed the truck idling really rough lately. My kid even said "why is he truck shaking". It's not like this always, but becoming more frequent.

 

Appreciate any info. Thanks!

New software release see for the 2017's. Did a bunch of them today. Stop in the dealer and see if yours is updated.

 

This applies to the MYC 6 speed by the way

I had the same thing happen with the rough idling with my truck for about a week at around 18,000 miles... everything is fine now. As for the jerk at stop and go my truck does that as well, I've read that this is the normal operating conditions on these transmissions unfortunately

My 2017 Yukon Denali suffered from random "missing" - car would run rough, jerk and chug at idle and only sometimes throw a CEL. Dealer had it for 2 days, couldn't duplicate and no saved codes. Happened again yesterday on the highway, flashing CEL and was able to get OnStar to run a diagnostic while heading for the dealer - OnStar said P0300. Light was still on when I pulled into dealer. They determined bad injector and are replacing - we'll see if this fixes it. When it would start to miss it felt as if car was driving over those rumble strips you occasionally see on the highways.

Thanks for the quick responses. I'll ask the to check software and see if they're seeing anything like this locally. Sucks to buy an expensive truck to have issues.

Went to one dealership and was told that it's normal in newer chevys due to air compression. I was also told it has like 32 computers on board so the idling is normal unless the check engine comes on. I went to another dealership and hey said it has some wiggle room, but I shouldn't feel a significant jerk. Now I have to figure out how to make sure it happens when they test drive lol.

Wait, what?!?!

 

I have been following this issue for a while now and saw the latest notice on TechLink. But even that one says it only applies to the 8-speed.

 

Great to hear it works on the 5.3L / 6-speed. I'll be asking my dealer about this!!

Supposedly fuel injector cleaner will fix the rough idle (brother was complaining about it, said that cleared it up) You would think a new truck would have clean injectors though

Mine had been doing this, 2016 silverado 5.3 z71, put fuel injector cleaner as well and it cleared it up some. Idles smoother now. Have 24k miles.

I did BG fuel cleaner today, so we will see if they helps out some. Otherwise, the jerking feeling when coming to a stop we couldn't replicate at the dealer. I'll keep an eye on it.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
