Already got a call back that the truck is fixed and done. They admitted the tech swapped the tires left to right. So they checked alignment and swapped them in an X pattern and did a test drive and didn't feel any pull or vibrations. So they are done with it.

 

Ultimately the tires ended up where they should have if a front-to-back rotation had been done in the first place. They want my feedback after I drive it too.

This is spot on (above)    Lot's of shops have alignment racks. Some even know how to use it. Most are just to lazy to actually do the job you paid for.    The following is for Fac

On my 2020 AT4 2500 the steering is off a few degrees to the left. It doesn't seem pull one-way or another. It was that way with the factory 18" rims/tires and with my 7 year old studded rims/tires left over from my 2013 Denali. My dealer said that they will check on it when I bring it in for the first oil change next month. I purchased a set of set stock 2020 20" rims/tires and will put those on the truck prior to taking it in for repair. Standby for a report. Thanks,

Ours pulled to the right and we just had it aligned at the dealership under warranty.   (They only do alignments on new vehicles if under a certain mileage)

It was off a little and now it seems fine.  Time will tell.

Them tires are mass produced for the auto industry and you get bad ones, make them put new tires on it or you’ll file lemon law.

I have the same issue. 3000 miles. Pulls to the right when braking and gentle pull while driving.  The dealer thought I might have a dragging caliper.  I drove hard and did several, at speed -stop braking intervals.  Parked the truck in my shop, lifted the front and both wheels spun freely. Took it to the dealer, he said brakes were fine, they did an alignment, the caster was off on one side a little and they said the adjustment should help. They blamed the crown of the road.  I drove off thinking it was better, but it was not.  

What I have noticed is a rattle in the steering wheel when driving at slow speed, turning mostly left, over rough ground. Anyone else noticed or experienced this? I got under the truck and nothing is visibly loose.  Anyone know of issues with power steering components?

The power steering cooler rattles on rough roads at slow speeds.  It is worse on the uplevel steering trucks.  There is no real fix for it.  You can help it some by making sure your high pressure and return lines are not touching at the gear.  There are hydraulic pulses that cause the cooler to rattle.

I have a 2020 2500HD Sierra SLE. Since I got it, it pulls to the right. Dealer aligned it, was still as bad. They changed the Stearing box. Was better but still pulling to the right. It it's even worse when I'm towing my fifth weel. Now they said two tires are bad and they changed them. Just got it today and I find it still pulls to the right. The truck only has 8200km (5095 milles)They gave me all sorts of explanations that don't fit right for me. As I can see in this forum, I'm not the only one with this ongoing problem. Is this a bad truck? I had a 2011 1500 Silverado for 9 years and never had any problems with it.

Anyone has idea of what might be the problem?

My 2021 pulls to the right w/ just a hair over 500 miles on it, at first I thought it was me but it is definitely the truck.  I have to hold the wheel a degree or two to the left in order to drive down the road straight.  I am headed into the dealer tomorrow to have the alignment checked.

 

Wish me luck!

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
