2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Bouncing like it has a bad shock absorber at highway speeds.

My truck is feeling like it has a bad shock. It come and goes, it is not constant.

I took it to my dealer to check it out. They looked at the front end, balance 4 tires, adjusted the tire pressure and charged me $200.

As soon as I got on the highway and up to speed the bouncing is still there. Happens between 60 - 80mph. If it is still being a problem the dealer told me to bring it back and they would need it for the whole day to see if they can figure it out.

This was the 3rd time it has been in for this problem. Every time they balanced the tires and it does not fix the problem.

I am calling the Dealer back to see what the next step is.

2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT

VIN: 1GCUDDED6PZ332622

Mileage: 24372

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just got off the phone with the Dealer. They want to hook up a Pico scope to my truck and see where the vibration/bounce is coming from. Then they will swap tire from another vehicle and see if that takes care of the bounce. They will closely inspect the front end parts for for any defective parts.

They said it could take 2 to 3 day to diagnose the truck. They now are telling me that this diagnoses will cost me about $400. 

This truck is still under warranty for 11,500 more miles. I would like to get this repaired before the warranty is done.

Any guidance on this would be great.

Thanks

I was told by the dealer that it was a diagnoses fee.

I asked why it was not covered by warranty. That is what I was told.

Thanks

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

      By revmanii · Posted

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
