4 Wheel Steering Question On Sierra Denali

I just got a 03 sierra denali with the 4 wheel steering. I get a weird feeling when I back out of my garage in the AM. There is a little lip in the concrete when exiting the garage, backing out in the mornings. when the rear wheels go over the garage lip, it feels like both rear wheels "wobble" and I get a bit of a clunky feeling. The feeling is sort of like a loose steering rack in the front and you go over a pothole or something. I only get that sensation really when the truck has been sitting overnight or for a really long time and I first back over any sort of bump. Is this normal?

 

I need to get under there and see how this system works. Is there 2 power steering pumps? I was thinking maybe the P.S. lines have not built up pressure yet?

 

Also, what kind if any special maintenance needs to be done on this system? The truck currently has almost 60k on it and I would like to keep it many years. So far I love it.

 

Thanks!!!

Its electronically controled, there is no pump or hydraulics that control the rear steer.

IMO, your just not familiar to the new vehicle.

Put it in 2 wheel steer and try it the next day to see if it still does it.

I keep mine in 4 wheel steer all the time. The only time I take my truck out of 4 wheel steer is if I take it threw an automatic car wash.

 

Here is a link to a denial forum who also have a few Quadrasteer owners there as well if you want some further information.

 

Have a nice day.

Is there a support group too? :pimp: Sorry, just thought that was a great typo. Wish I had the coin for a Denali

I want quadrasteer. IMO they could have sold more trucks with it if they had just hyped it more. But nobody really knew about it. Well noone here knew about it anyway.

99, it took me a while to understand what you meant. I did finally figure out I miss spelled the word, gave me a good laugh once I saw what you were saying.

 

Have a nice day.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      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.
