got the itch for a new truck and came across a 2017 Z71, black with all the stuff I'd like. Anybody had any issues with this year?

Gundoc I believe had a 17 he sent down the river because the transmission was acting odd. I have a 17 Z71 now, that I am really happy with The 16 I had had I got rid of because it was a double cab and I wanted a crew cab. The 14 I had sucked. It had a vibration that it took rebuilding the rear end to get rid of, as well as a software issue that cause the power steering to not work properly. There was a recall for the software problem, but I got tired of messing with that truck, and let them have it back. I know of the sound the OP is talking about it. Greasing the rear springs per the TSB doesn't get rid of

Greasing the leaf springs. That's gotta be a magic trick for a service department. After all the R&D that's done (or maybe lack of) before a new model is produced and sold, it's later learned that the leaf springs have to be greased to stop noise? That's comical.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I’ve got 65k miles of my 17. Rear suspension is squeaky for sure. Transmission shifts hard from time to time but the dealership says nothing is wrong with it. The electronic power steering went out, the brake vacuum pump locked up (was pulling tractor and trailer brakes saved my butt) and the nav screen goes blank sometimes when I receive or make a call. Other than that it’s been a great truck 😂😂
Going to a 3/4 ton next go around. Leaning Ford Or just buy a Ram (Fiat) and be done with it. I have driven 3 total since 2004, over 500,000 miles, and they been almost trouble free. Tires, brakes, batteries, and one fuel pump. See? I went ahead and said Fiat to steal your thunder.

I'm thinking that's one of those "free rotation with our 10 point maintenance check" scams. The tech comes in and very sincerely explains why they need to flush the fuel system, change the brake fluid and grease the springs.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.
