Poll: Have you suffered 3rd gen reliability issues?

Yes. Vehicle is back at the dealer for the same issue. Left side cam shaft sensor leaking oil again after replacement.
I got the howling rear end too but I dont care as long as my diff doesn't explode.

 

Pretty definitive poll.

 

my only issue I really had that I had any problem with was the way the trans shifted and it was low on fulid. After the TSB and level check it was better so no big deal.
I have never experienced
Steering vibration
squeaky leafs
rebooting radio
rattles
rumble feel stopping
howling diff
or any other complaint I have read about.
guess my truck was one that was a random pull aside for QA and got a good once over

 

Not to bad so far, hasn't even been 6 hours so should get more accurate and will be plenty more yes answers but I would suspect it will stay under 10%. Which for a Website to go look for answers on what's wrong with a vehicle, will be acceptable I think

 

some nylon plugs at lowes fixes that issue. Think it cost me like $2.50. I never noticed the sound from mine but I added the plugs anyway I think they are 9/16"

 

Anyone tag smitty? That's like the 3rd gen signature

 

I answered no because the two TSBs corrected annoyances (LCA howl and R-D delay), not reliability issues.

Have owned the truck for 8 months and it has over 10k miles on it.

 

I suspect most of the yes answers will be cps related and a couple transmission/t case failures (low fluid related?). But much less than it appears by reading TW

 

I've heard the whistle twice very brief while driving. It's nothing at all. Sure perhaps it gets worse and if it does I'll order the plugs. I've heard a lot worse driving other vehicles. Nothing for anyone to get butt hurt over in my opinion, but some how on here it turns into this truck is the biggest pile of shit. People crying, bashing, start threatening lemon law, and all kinds of other crazy shit. Only noise I think is worth being a little upset about is the kazoo noise a few people have had from seals or the mirrors or whatever the cause was deemed to be. I watch one video and that was pretty loud. But even that doesn't warrant people getting all bent out of shape. Simply make an appointment and have it fixed

 

Just the minor annoyances here of incorrectly torqued cab mount and rattling headliner. Both happily fixed by dealer immediately.

 

Is there a thread with all of the reported issues? - Issues not including the guy who hit his windshield and missed the fly

 

Yes, see every other thread on TW

 

yep i have seen multiple threads on each of these issues

 

2 weeks in and 1500 miles. No issues yet.

 

CPS for mine.

 

Just coming up to one year with the truck.

Only issue Passenger side black plastic roof molding nearly came off on our way to Kern River. Was flopping around like a whip. Pulled it off and continued the trip.
Dealer replaced with a new molding. Said is was missing a metal clip. "Hecho in Mexico"

Other than that zero problems.

 

So many major 3rd gen problems...


Quick call the jealous 3rd gen owners to save us

 

Nope.
8,000 miles and 1 year of ownership as of yesterday.

 

Relatively minor stuff for me, so the "yes,but" vote:
Howling LCAs, door weatherstripping replaced for water leak, low tranny fluid, R to D delay solved by tsb, intermittent bushing squeak and window rattle. Most have been fixed, just under 2k miles.


Some who did have major issues that had buybacks and actual lemon law are probably not here to report anymore.
