2017 Rear Spring Racket

Not much detailed info here, but it shows the number and the general overview of what it's for:

I had found those. I'll keep looking. I really want to find the one that the Service Manager has told me about on several occasions where GM said DON'T replace them. That's what they've offered me so far. Replacements.

I found a guy here in GA that completed a repurchase with theirs last year. Here we go.

My final repair is happening now. They're replacing the springs... with the springs that are identified with having the problem.

[triplexbullies]

They've had the springs special ordered for me for a few weeks now. Apparently they didn't get the memo that GM wanted my U bolts changed too so they have to keep it another day.

I often wonder if GM will EVER get it's act together.  Gotta love it ...

And you guys will complain about something else when they swap to a coil setup in the rear...

Anything they build POORLY, I WILL complain about - you can count on that.

[triplexbullies]

Anything that is acting like it shouldn't be on a brand new $35k truck, I will complain about. Coils, leaves, air ride, magnets, water beds. I don't care what it is.

 

I realize this isn't a huge deal. My truck runs and doesn't leave me stranded on the side of the road. I'm not comparing it to that. That doesn't mean I am happy that I paid the money I did and I'm having this issue.

I don't disagree, just poking fun...

I've been looking at what Ram or Tundra I can get with my repurchase money. I can get an 18 Ram crew cab 4x4 for my Custom Silverado.

My dad and brother just grabbed '16 Rams last summer. My brother had a couple issues after 10k miles, like rust spots on front bumper, and a leaky transfer case seal - much better track record than my Silverado had at the same mileage. My dad hasn't had an issue yet (brother's truck VIN starts with a 3 ... Mexico, dad's starts with a 1, USA ... so that could be part of it).

 

Also one of my best friends just bought a 17 Ram 1500 a few months back. Already has an exhaust system on it. Those Hemis always sound great when they're allowed to breathe.

 

If I were going to buy new again, Ram or Toyota would be my only 2 choices. I'd probably end up with the Ram due to it's comparative size.

[triplexbullies]

The Ram is bigger, or smaller? I don't really like the look of the Tundra. I especially don't like the interior. The ram is much more affordable. I guess it all depends on how long it takes these springs to start squeaking. 

[Jsdirt]

Interior seems quite a bit bigger than the GMs. Haven't really seen enough Tundras to make an accurate comparison there.
