@TheEngineer the other members were asking for the 2015 vehicles, do you have any idea if these would fit a 2015 as well but aren't listed for 2015?

Any info on this would be much appreciated as I just bought a 2015 Tahoe LTZ and it drives like a freaking dump truck.

What are you experiencing exactly? Vibration’s while under light throttle pressure? Even when the road appears to be perfectly smooth?

My issue is simply feeling every single little or big bump in the road. There is not nearly as much cushion as there should be for a vehicle of this cost. I have an appointment at the local dealership to get it looked at to make sure there are not any blown shocks or anything first off, but just doing my research in case there are things that need fixed.

There is a TSB on the MRC shocks for 2015 due to harsh ride.

Thanks, I have seen it. I will make sure to point it out to the dealership, but technically it doesn't apply to my Tahoe since it was built in May and the TSB covers through Feb.

For a few months I swore all my vibration issues and uncomfortable ride was all due to Magna Ride or the suspension. However, after deeper research and visits to the dealer, it was actually all transmission related. The Torque Converter Clutch was slipping and causing catastrophic vehicle shakes which felt suspension related. They did a transmission triple flush, new internal filter and replaced the TCC. Back to the way a $90,000 suv should feel. It was never suspension related.

Thanks for the reply. How did they go about diagnosing that it was the Torque Converter Clutch?

Awesome information from @Bryingram4 about the TCC service!

Apparently It’s a well known issue on this vehicle platform. Mention it to the service advisor and they will know what to do.

My '15 Yukon XL Denali had similar symptoms, and like you the dealership did a triple flush, filter, and reprogrammed the TCM and it's been smooth ever since, actually quite an improvement, been over 15K miles now since that was done.

Nice! They had to go a step further and replace the Torque Converter on mine. Now it is 100% better. If it starts having issues again, suggest replacing TCC if you have a warranty to help cover it.

Never thought to look in here for info since I have a 4WD. I posed a question in another thread. Maybe folks here can offer some assistance from their experience.

visited the steelership today and they checked the front shocks on my 15 XL Denali and as many others ... both front shocks with the Magnetic ride were found to be leaking and needed to be replaced. so replaced it and the ride improved but not so pleased with it and the cost is outrageous $1800 !!!! for a truck like that with only 85k miles and these things going bad!!!! tells me that GM is not focusing on the Quality or reliability at all. its a shame.

You paid or was it covered?

I swear mine have been dead since 10k. I took it into the dealer then and they said no issues... They ride was bouncy and crappy, and has just gotten worse. There is an ever growing...almost creaking sound...when the suspension cycles over large speed bumps (not the skinny tall ones, but the ones that are like 3 feet wide for 25 mph zones). There are 3 of them to get onto my street where I live. So im intimitly familiar which how the truck responds to them.

Its a huge debate of mine to replace them with non magnetic...vs trading the truck in...but on what?

Id love a 6.2 WITH OUT the MRC from the factory... Even in a pick up at this point

i wish it was covered i had to unfortunately eat up the cost and use my credit card

 

[crazycrew]

No way man. You should've told them no thanks. Could've gotten the front mag ride delete sensors and put aftermarket struts for half that

Didn’t know they figured out a way to delete the Mag !

 

[crazycrew]

Yeah man. You gotta stay on top of it on the forums. Wish you would have asked before spending that money. I noticed when. I lowered ours last week that the dricers side strut was slightly (moist) lol. Once it gets bad enough I'll swap em out
