The idler arm and the pitman arm were replaced due to excessive wear. The steering feels like new and the steering wheel is finally straight!!!

I wonder if mine is shot too.  If my truck is parked and the steering column is unlocked, I can move the wheel several degrees back and forth without any resistance.  All the precision of a 1978 Mack Truck in this ancient setup.

Definitely have it checked ! My dad's 24 AT4 HD is having similar chatter/vibration at very low speed turns in slippery surfaces. He's going to have his checked. 😬

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this.  My 2024 gmc 3500 has been in the shop for nearly a month and they still cant figure out what’s wrong with it.  My truck just died, it starts back up and runs like crap again.  It has 9 different codes and if the dealer gets them cleared they come back on again.  My dealer communicates well and has told me that they have had request for support from GMC for weeks but hasn’t gotten a response yet. 

 

 

When my hpfp popped it exhibited the same symptoms. Died, started again extremely rough, every dash light was on and multiple codes. Observing the codes the two that stood out to me were both related to fuel system pressure. I noted this and discussed with the shop that I had it towed to. They confirmed my roadside diagnosis was correct- hpfp failure.

 

The fun really got extra fun when it happened again 3 days after it was replaced. Electrical failure the 2nd time due to faulty part from GM, as opposed to the original catastrophic mechanical failure. 

 

Anyway, something to consider. Take all those codes and see if 2-3 of them are related to fuel system pressure.

At how many miles did your hpfp go out? I wonder what the avg life is on it. The thing runs at like 2k psi.

Popped at 92k miles. Better than the diesel flavor of this problem, but still cost me 3k in parts and labor. Took out the injectors with the forbidden glitter.

      OCI, not when but why?

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
