So I had the 2” gm lift kit installed a little while back.  I’m now noticing a weird shutter when decelerating past the 23 mph mark.  I’m pretty sure this was not happening before the lift was installed.  It doesn’t happen when accelerating just braking/decelerating.  I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 5.3 10 speed crew cab elevation.  Any ideas?

Did the dealer install your lift?

Can't help you with the lift but ask them to do the latest program update that fixes the shudder around 13mph. It's completely fixed my shudder at low speed stopping and at low roms while cruising 45-65mph. Make sure the do the crankshaft sensor relearn.

Yeah.  The dealer that installed it was a joke and I no longer go there.  I brought it to another dealer and they were of no help either…. Might just be Illinois dealers.

 

 I’m looking at the rear blocks on this lift they installed and I notice the shim that was there before the lift was installed is no longer there.  Just a non tapered block.  Do you think that shim should be there?

Thank you.  The dealer said I’m up to date with the latest program.

I wonder if the tech who installed the lift performed the steering recalibration that's an integral part of the lift installation.  If so, I'd think it would be annotated on the service paperwork.  I don't know how not doing the steering recalibration would manifest itself, but it's something worth checking on - just a thought.

The dealer was shady.  The paper work literally only says “customer states to install lift kit PAH” “Tech Jakub Ziarnek installed 84993582 :N-modification KI (06008-84993)”. Nothing else.

It depends on driveline angles but prob not needed with the lift. My stock AT4 has no shims.

Well that’s a relief.  Thank you.  Maybe this shudder isn’t because of the lift 🤔

There was a bulletin out about the shudder.  There is a computer update to correct this.  The shudder may be releated to the software and not the lift.   If it is computer related will will happen when costing and slowing.  It will happen around 13-15pm IIRC

 

here is the link

Oh man awesome!  Thank you very much for this info!  I have an appointment with a different dealer next week, I’m going to mention this to him after they look at it.  Thank you again!

So the dealer replaced one of my U-joints and updated the TCM with the latest calibration.  I think the shudder might be a little worse than before.  Another person in the forums said he had a vibration and fixed it by replaced the non tapered block in the rear with a tapered block.  I notice when I shift into neutral the problem isn’t there.  The dealer is blaming the cylinder deactivation and said while in neutral the cylinder deactivation isn’t active which is why it seems to be fixed in neutral.  I feel like if this was normal I would have always felt it and not just recently.  Wish it was some blatantly obvious thing that could be fixed and make it normal again.  Any ideas is appreciated.  Thanks.

Did they follow the directions to the T? Did they do the crankshaft relearn procedure? Ask them to do that one more time, I've seen where someone in here said the first time they did it it didn't fix it. 2nd time they did the relearn it fixed it

    • Diesel $5.42 at the truck stop on the hi-way
    • I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome. 
    • Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
