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!

I just got my 2021 Chevrolet 2500 4 days ago.  I noticed it slightly pulling to the right.  At first I thought it was me or the crown of the road "pushing" it to the right but, on a flat road or if I move to the other side of the road it still pulls to the right.  I'm going to take it in in the next day or two to get it checked/re-aligned.

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

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 di

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

Have a 2020 2500 with a service body. It pulls to the left, i have to hold the steering wheel at 1-2 oclock to keep it going straight. It will take the truck up over the crown of the road and into oncoming traffic. The first alignment was done at 1500 miles and everything was in spec. Local dealership billed me for the alignment even though the truck still pulled. They tried to claim that the wear in the road was causing it. If i wanted them to keep looking into it i would have to pay for the parts replaced. They clearly dont know how to diagnose an issue. Took it to them to have the first service done, at my request, they moved the tires from side to side not front to rear. The truck would still pull to the left. 

 

Took the truck to a different dealership at 5300 miles. A friend works at this shop but they dont have an alignment rack. He test drove it and saw exactly what i was talking about. Checked the rotor temps and they were all within 5 degrees of each other, indicating that the calipers are no dragging. Put the truck in the air, all the tires turned freely. He said to take it down to the chevy dealership down the street. It had its second alignment. Once again, everything was right where it is supposed to be. GM tech support is now involved. They are recommending the steering angle sensor be recalibrated.

The tires on mine make a noticeable difference. After my first rotation, the truck was constantly pulling left as described. After the following rotation where the front tires were returned, it was centered again. I have rotated the tires 3 times and each time i bring the rear tires to the front, it pulls.

Just picked up my new 2021 3500 gasser yesterday. Drove it 5-1/2 hours home and noticed it definitely pulls to the right. Had to hold the wheel a couple degrees to the left to go straight. My issue is I had the dealer put different tires on it for me before I picked it up. I stuck with the factory size but went from the Michelin LTX at2’s that came stock to the BFG K02. I emailed the dealer right away this morning to ask if anyone drove the truck after putting the tires on, he said he would check. I told him I was concerned that if I brought it in to have it checked they wouldn’t cover anything because of the different tires. He told me to go ahead and get it checked and if there was a charge they would cover it. So I guess I’ll be dropping mine off too.

Be sure to have them check your alignment. Mine had significant steering issues that were all corrected with a proper alignment.

check the alignment. also, I noticed my truck started a decent pull right as soon as I put the BFG KO2s on it. granted they are 20mm wider, so the contact patch is bigger. I am really starting to think these tires have a radial pull to them

So the first dealer I brought it to mentioned nothing about the tires so that’s good. However they drove it and tried to tell me it was normal. They checked all the suspension parts to make sure everything was tight but didn’t check the alignment. So I brought it to a different dealer on Friday and they could tell it was just driving it out of the entrance bay into the service bay. So they reset the alignment with the steering wheel straight. Unfortunately whoever did it over corrected it so now the wheel is off the other way. So it’s going back in on Tuesday

Sounds familiar. Not sure if these trucks are tough to align, by my dealer did the same thing initially, then tried again and made it worse. They paid to have it done at an outside alignment shop and finally got it right!

Had the truck back in today, they got it fixed correctly this time. Steering wheel is straight and truck is tracking the way it should.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
