2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Engine Problems

AFM/DFM on my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT had to lifters collapse without warning and no engine light was hole I had my 7 year old daughter and 10 year old son in the vehicle while I was driving. My kids got scared and I had to react quick and go into a drive way. While I was driving my vehicle gave out without warning and could’ve caused a serious accident to my kids and myself including other vehicles.

86K miles smelled gas. Dealer replaced one fuel injector on the 6 cylinder rail. At 108K miles, catastrophic engine failure caused by misfire in the #6 cylinder. No compression or diagnostic testing done at initial fuel injector replacement. It is now my understanding that it is good practice when replacing one fuel injector, all should be replaced. After truck was inoperable at 108K miles, ran a borescope into the 6 cylinder shaft and noticed massive wash and scoring. Goodwill from GM was denied for an engine swap. Subsequent diagnostic testing revealed low pressure in all cylinder heads. I don’t put a lot of miles on this truck per year and suspect the problem compounded over time without notice. There was gas mixture in the oil, however this issue was never brought to my attention during routine maintenance and oil changes. I know there were issues with the 6.2L and didn’t know of parallel or residual issues with the 5.3L. Long story short, I had to go with an engine swap on a truck with relatively low mileage.

The 5.3 engine in the 2015 Chevy Silverado had lifter failure. The engine needed to be repaired and taken out of the truck. The engine needed a full repair of the lifters, camshaft, gaskets, etc. Which ended in a costly repair.

I have had a problem with the theft deterrent system which, shuts the truck down and issues a message saying "turn the driver side window down and then up". After 5 minutes the truck starts back up by itself? This has occurred sitting in Popeyes drive thru line in August 2024 in Benton Harbor, Mi. This has occurred 3 times in the past week, 09/25/25 driving on Garrett road it shut down during the entry into a "s curve" 09/26/25 driving into my drive way 09/28/25 driving into my drive way Took the truck into Wimberley Chevy dealer and they searched for error codes and checked some of the ground wires not connected properly and found the negative cable on battery was ok. I don't know if any other wire connectors were checked, however I have had this before and the dealer said they would have to keep the truck as it may take quite some time in confirming all connections were good. the service manage of LeValley Cheverolet stated that they would require a $1,000 deposit for them to start looking into the problem and again require another $1,000 deposit to continue and then another etc. I will not drive my truck on any major highway or in any very busy large city for fear of having a return of another shutdown and no place to pull into as I was only coasting when I entered the "S curves" and had space.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the engine started shuddering and the vehicle decelerated unintendedly. Additionally, the check engine and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced, but the failure reoccurred. The contact was informed that the engine shudder was due to a faulty fuel management system, which caused the lifters to remain in the open or closed position. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 75,000.

Mileage: 75,000

2015 5.3 with afm related failure / lifter collapse still within warranty by mileage (5 yrs, 100,000 miles I think), out by years in service, was diagnosed by a GM authorized dealership by a GM Master Certified Technician and under the supervision of service manager. Issue Description On 6/18/2025, the dealership diagnosed a failure in the #7 lifter due to afm / afm related failure / lifter collapse. The vehicle’s engine, diagnosed at approximately 58,000 miles and minimal idle hours. While the GM Master technician is confident that only one side of lifters require immediate replacement, there is a possibility of damage to the camshaft lobe, which cannot be inspected without significant additional labor. There is also a concern about potential metal contamination in the oil, which could further impact the engine’s performance. I also have many documented repair orders indicating my concern with the transmissions performance.

Component that failed Lifter failure causing camshaft damage. I was driving my truck at the time the engine failure and loss of propulsion. The problem was later linked to lifter failure. Car started to lose power and surge forward while I was in oncoming traffic. I pulled over and had my truck towed to the Jamestown Chevy Dealership. I have had all of my services done at the certified Chevrolet dealership. Their professional diagnosis was lifter problem with camshaft damage. The vehicle was inspected by mechanics at Sierra Motors in Jamestown Ca. No prior warning to the vehicle failure. Once the truck lost propulsion and was surging the check engine light and road traction light came on.

I was driving my truck on a interstate when the torque converter broken and forced me to stop on a "No parking" area, The cars couldn't see me until I got really close to my car and almost caused an accident, the sheriff had to intervene and signal that there was a car stopped on the interstate, it wasn't the first time that it happened, it happened 5 times since I got the truck( I have it for 5 months) I already fixed it and replaced the torque converter but it's not safe to be on the side of the road every month, it need to be fixed because it can cause many accidents

My engine shakes when shifting into the V4 from the V6 and my transmission shifts hard as well as a dieseling affect when shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. Rear main seal was replaced 1000 miles ago and now has to be replaced again due to the rapid shaking of the V4 cylinder deactivation(which was a terrible way to make the reliable 4.3 Lt engine unreliable)

Experienced a problem with electrical theft deterrent system and it shut the vehicle off while driving. I tried to start the vehicle and nothing happened except it said theft deterrent system. I took the key out tried starting again and it turned over immediately. The dash said theft deterrent and I clicked dismiss but the dash icon (a car with a lock light) remained on. I then drove 11 miles home. I turned on my directional proceeded to brake upon approaching my driveway. As I attempted to turn the steering wheel the vehicle completely shut off. The info system stating theft deterrent active. I lost power steering and brakes. I needed to press the brakes with great force because the vehicle was headed towards the sidewalk and a road sign. Steering was virtually unresponsive. Vehicle stopped as the tires reached the curb and approximately 1 ft from the sign. Placed vehicle in park and started it back up. Pulled into my driveway and the info system stated I need to roll the drivers window down and the up to deactivate. I have checked all battery connections are intact and tight. The battery, starter and alternator were all checked and fine. I have no idea what caused this dangerous behavior. The incident happened on MA Rt. 126 988 S. Main st Bellingham MA 02019

I bought this truck a little over a year ago. Mileage 89,392. 2 weeks later the truck started to run poorly, shaking badly, misfiring. Took it to the garage. They told me the had to replace coil packs one one side lifters and one push rod. Truck ran good for 1 year. I know this because I had just gotten it inspected. A couple days later the truck started doing the same thing. Now it’s in the garage again. They tell me the camshaft is shot and needs replaced including all the lifters. The truck now has just over 100,000 miles on it. The repair is about $6600.00. GM will allow the garage to do some work under a warranty type citation and GM will pay approximately $535.00. For a total of about $1000.00. Now my concern is this truck could break down on the highway and cause an accident just like a current recall for crankshaft and or connecting rods. If there can be a recall for that there should be a recall on this issue also. The garage has informed me they have done a lot of these repairs. Some even had to come back a second time.

The transmission went out with only 140,000 on it. It also has problems with shaking

Number 7 cylinder valve failed. “Good Morning Mr. [XXX] . I have some updates on your vehicle. Based on my technicians inspection cylinder 7 is misfiring. He removed valve cover and found a stuck rocker arm caused by collapsed lifter. may need camshaft will know further when engine is tore down.” Then they quoted an outrageous bill. This is an on going issue with General Motors. Why is this not being fixed by the corporation? The truck doesn’t even have 100k miles on it and it’s been kept up routinely. I am the original owner and feel that problem has been going on for over 10 years now. GM should be held accountable.

lack of acceleration when going from 2nd to 3 gear. Lifter damage, push rod broken

While driving at 55-60 mph on Saturday, [XXX], the vehicle made a distinct engine sound and lost power, but continued to run with a pronounced misfire, and a ‘check engine’ light came on. Our safety was put at risk because we were merging into high speed traffic and I had to abruptly slow and move as far out of the travel lane as possible. I had the vehicle towed to Champion Chevrolet in Reno on Wednesday October 16 for evaluation. The mileage in was 44,252. I was told that the camshaft and some lifters had failed, and I opted to have the engine replaced with a remanufactured unit at the total cost to me of $14,660. I picked the vehicle up on 10/28/2024 with 44,259 odometer miles. I have since learned on the internet that this particular ‘Active Fuel Management (AFM)’ failure is known to Chevrolet corporate office and is the subject of a class action lawsuit against Chevrolet. I have also learned that there is the possibility of repayment to affected owners in early 2025. I am submitting this letter to bring my situation to your attention so that I am included in any list of owners that may be reimbursed as a result of this known engine issue.

Knocking noise in the engine , took it to the mechanic and he stated lifter failer

Vehicle shuts off when stopping. Everything goes dead. It will eventually start again, but very annoying. What happens when it shuts off going down the highway? No power steering or power brakes, that's what!

I heard a sharp click like metal on metal, then I lost all power from the engine. I was on the highway close to rush hour and I was trying to move to the right side of the road and get off on the shoulder, the engine would start long enough to get off the road and then that was it. The engine was dead. I called for a flatbed tow truck through my insurance. I had no idea as to what had happened. However, I have read many reports of engine failure concerning the 5.3 v8 engine which I have. The Chevrolet Silverado 1/2 ton pickup was towed on a flatbed truck to Chevrolet, They found that the engine had dropped a valve in the #7 cylinder and some rocker arms, etc also had broken. The final billing was $7092.89 I was in traffic going around 60mph when the engine died and put me in an emergency situation. This could have caused a wreck. Several warning lights came on because of a dead engine. I do not believe any rep. has inspected the parts as this has become a common serious problem, it is all over the internet however I have not seen a Recall at this time. I sincerely believe GM should be responsible for this as it has been happening for years and years. Thank you for listening

I purchased a Brand new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Z71 in2015. While still paying on this vehicle I had an issue with the engine bogging down and it would almost die. It would jerk and shake terribly to the point it just shut down. I took to Royal Chevrolet and they found that it had a broken Valve spring on Cyl 7. This went on and on they had this vehicle for a total of almost 7 months before they put 1 last engine in it. The 1st thing I did was drove down From Michigan to North Carolina to visit my daughter. Plenty of Mountains and a lot of driving as I drove 14 hours straight by myself. The engine that they had just put in started Chugging and choking and it stalled on the highway going through the mountains and I was hit in the rear end and the other driver never stopped. I managed to get it running again. Prior to leaving for North Carolina I ordered what they call a tuner where I could deactivate the AFM system and stay in 8 Cyl mode at all times. I had it sent to her house. I installed the program. Keeping in mind #1 I was rear ended. And every single time there was an issue it was Cyl#7 on all the previous engines. I talked to the Lead man at Royal chevrolet about all the issues and he said they know all about it and its a joke. They tried it on Cadillacs back in 1975 and recalled every one of them and turned it off. On my way back home not 1 single issue in fact and I sill have it displayed on my dashboard I actually got 26.2 Miles per gallon in V-8 mode in the mountains. I have driven to NC every year since before I even owned that truck and have never seen milage before or since. The AFM system is nothing but a ploy to get people to buy junk. Could someone been killed? Most certainly. I told the manager 1 more engine and I have a Friend cut stickers of lemons out and put at the main 4 corners in our town. I still have that truck and currently have 128,000 miles on it and I had to pay $600.00 to fix it myself. And GM thinks its a joke. I called GM

Engine lifter turned sideways and destroyed the cam shaft. Due to 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder change

I bought the truck around [XXX] from Barkau CDJR, Freeport IL. Two hours away from the dealer the truck went completely dead in traffic. A message appeared on the info screen that said roll down the drivers window and back up to reset the system when the truck finally restarted. Got home with it and called the dealer and let the know. In the next few weeks it happened a couple of more times. It was taken to Tapper Chevrolet in Paw Paw, MI to be serviced. The tech thought it was a problem in the fuse Block and replaced that, after that on the week end the truck was returned the problem happened 3 times. Took it back to Tapper's and they checked it again, had it for 4 days and could not replicate the problem. Kept having issues and took it to 1st Choice Automotive LLC in Dowagiac, MI, he went through the wiring and cleaned some grounds and it seemed to work for a while. Now it is doing the same thing again. It just shuts down randomly for no reason. You lose steering, brakes, you have no control when it happens and no warning when it is going to happen. Have searched You Tube and have seen many other complaints of the same problem with no solution. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2015 Chevy Silverado, 62,300 miles. While driving at highway speeds. The air condition compessor locked up. Causing the engine to die and causing the loss of power steering and power brakes. I was unable to brake in a timely manner and had to swerve to avoid stopped traffic. It seems there are thousands complaining of the same issue online. There was no warning. I have contacted the dealer and they say there is no recall.

I am having issues with my transmission. When I first turn on the truck in the morning, put it in gear, and lightly accelerate the truck accelerates way too fast then cuts out the power. It is enough to throw me forward or back in my seat and it honestly is frightening. I am also having problems with the vehicle shifting incorrectly causing me to have no power or a sudden surge of power. This is usually when i have slowed down and them am trying to accelerate again. Also, When I am slowing down to stoplights, the vehicle will occasionally shift down to too low of a gear and act like i am slamming on the brakes. I have had several close calls with this truck due to this issue. Gm knows about the issue and has refused to recall the vehicles that are having these problems. They are recommending changing out the fluid multiple times at the owners costs. This has resulted in several class action lawsuits. They also have gone to the lengths of changing warranty coverage to no longer include abnormal shifting. This is not safe. This is causing accidents and they are actively covering it up. Please help the hundreds of thousands of people that are having issues. We need your help, I need your help and gm is no longer standing behind their vehicles.

steering and braking stops working during low speed. AC stops working and several components flash a warning message Trailer hitch and stabilizer and engine light appears sporadically. It shows that I do not have recalls but I believe the repairs in the past were not done correctly. old software or a electrical short from an faulty part!!!!!

Currently, the AC is no functioning properly. Mechanic states that the hose leading to the compressor that's mounted towards the radiator is cracked and he can see oil from the AC system that has leaked out over time. Parts are being ordered to replace and repair so that the AC system will work properly. Improper AC function is not acceptable during the spring/summer months, and AC is needed to be able to cool the vehicle down There were no warning lamps or messages. We determined the system was low on coolant because it was not cooling properly.

Air conditioning compressor busted and spilled oil and metal shards all over road. Condenser coil sprung a leak in 2019. Heavy vibrations in cabin when driving interstate speeds. Oil cooler lines leaking causing oil leaks and now I am noticing a leak on the radiator! Leak on the inner drivers side axle seal.

While driving, the engine suddenly stalled forcing me to take evasive action to exit the roadway. After having the vehicle towed to the dealership, I was informed the CP4 fuel pump had failed. The cost of the repairs totaled $13,296.39, plus towing. The repairs took seven weeks to complete.

Lifter collapsed on highway.

The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,400. The VIN was unavailable.

Mileage: 96,400

While slowing down to make a right turn the engine stalled and the electrical power was lost rendering the power steering inoperable. The loss of power steering created a dangerous situation where I almost hit a tree. Also there has been several occasions while driving on the freeway the electrical power stalled. Thankfully it was only for less than two seconds, but I can't imagine what would have happened on a busy freeway had it not been only a temporary loss of power. I read online that these problems are not uncommon. I have taken the truck to a Chevy dealer where they replaced battery cables they said had some resistance in them. It's been a month since the repair ($1300 later) was made and have not experienced any problem since. After experiencing these "power failers", there would be a message on the dash that would state "OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW'

Lifters collapsed Got it inspected by a dealer Check engine light came on for a misfire

GM active fuel management has caused multiple collapsed lifters, bent pushrods and camshaft damage on 2 separate occasions costing thousands of dollars in repairs shortly after the factory warranty ended. 2015 Chevrolet Silverado with ecotec 5.3 liter engine.

The radiator is leaking and the transmission is making a clunking noise when shifted to reverse. The pickup has 48000 miles on it.

radiator leaking for unknown reason. No damage to front end or from under truck. I have been smelling anti freeze for about the past year but could not see any signs of any leaks until now. Still no sign of a leak on the ground but can see it on the bottom of the radiator support.

Thermostat cycling causing cracking in radiator. This is a factory problem that should absolutely be under warranty

Truck has 98,500 miles on it. Radiator is cracked and leaking, roof leaks when raining, electric power steering randomly jerks the wheel out of your hand and almost causes you to crash.

I estimate this has happened over 10 times. I lose all electrical power to the vehicle and the car shuts off, often this is preceded by loss of power steering and low speed. The last time this happened when pulling out into traffic; the steering kicked back, the truck lost all electrical power, dash went blank, radio dark, including loss of head lights, I will reiterate that this happened while pulling into traffic. This truck cost me over $40k new and I believe Chevy is aware of the problem, then simply don't want to cover the cost of parts and labor to fix. The dealership told me they had no idea what the issue could be, then I found several GM documents online. It appears this is a known issue, and they even list 2015 Silverado on documents. Bulletin No.: 18-NA-161 (The issues in this match exactly what I've experienced) also Reference Number:N172085440 Please help me convince Chevrolet to fix this issue or force them to do a recall.

for months i have been experiencing small issues at first, turn signal quit making noise, and then the radio quit working, this issue would only be corrected by turning off the vehicle, and restarting it, now the problem has gotten worse, tpms lights up on the dashboard the stabillitrack icon appears, and vehicle appears to stall momentarily and the radio goes blank, the most dangerous part is the electric steering wheel locks up, i have read several complaints online about this issue, and find no solution has ever been recorded, so far i have experiment this issue at low speeds and it is a interment problem that randomly happens

I HAVE ABOUT 85000 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. THE CODE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AS P06DA WHICH MOST LIKELY INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID (BASED ON MOST OF THE VIDEOS AND REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET). UNFORTUNATELY, GM NEVER MADE A RECALL ABOUT THIS!! THIS PROBLEM COSTS ABOUT 3K TO FIX AT THE DEALER.

MY TRUCK HAD AN AFM COLLAPSED LIFTER FAILURE. IT OCCURRED UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION EVENT TO CHANGE LANES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFTER, RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO ME. I GOT DOWN THE ROAD, TESTED IT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS TIME THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERNAL ENGINE NOISE, REALLY LOUD. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY NTESTED IT UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION; THEY DID NOT. THEY REPLACED THE #6 PISTON AND THE VALVES ASSOCIATED WITH THE #6 PISTON. ALL WORK PERFORMED WAS DONE ON #6, EVEN THE INITIAL COLLAPSED LIFTER. I PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND AGAIN A HARD ACCELERATION PRODUCED MISFIRES! I HAD IT TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD TESTED IT WITH HARD ACCELERATION. THE RESPONSE WAS @ 3300 RPM. I TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER THAT, IF YOU DO NOT TEST IT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION YOU WILL NOT EVEN HAVE IT MISFIRE! HE REDID THE TEST AND VOILA, HE CAN SEE IT NOW! TECHNICAL RESOURCES TOLD THEM TO REPLACE VLOM, OR "VALVE LIFTER OIL MANIFOLD". I GOT IT BACK AND IT DOES WORK, MORE OR LESS. A HARD ACCELERATION WILL PRODUCE UNEVEN ACCELERATION BUT WITHOUT THE PREVIOUS ISSUES. I AM WORKING FOR NOW. I CONDUCTED SOME FURTHER RESEARCH WHICH I AM PROBE TO DO AND FOUND AN ACDELCO YOUTUBE VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MKLY7XMMSOS&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE&FBCLID=IWAR2ZVZPVJ6Z6E3SELJZGVXZERU8PTLLKGPKQTFXMRSNS7OQENCOLHRRGI_I. THIS VIDEO STATES THAT IF YOU HAVE AN AFM LEVENT THAT INVOLVES A COLLAPSED LIFTER YOU MUST REPLACE A PLETHORA OF PARTS. THAT WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE CHANGED MY OIL ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS THAN GM REQUIRES AND I USE AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES10W20, THE BEST YOU CAN BUY! I ALSO USE THEIR EA0 FILTERS WHICH STATE YOU CAN GO UP TO 25K MILES OR 1 YEAR BETWEEN CHANGES! I TYPICALLY DO 10K MILES AS A HIGH POINT. I HAVE SWICTHED PREFERRED DEALERS TO GET A DIFFERENT TECHNICAL RESPONSE...HELP!

I WAS ON A FAMILY TRIP WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE RAISED AND SYSTEM SAID TO IDLE ENGINE UNTIL IT COOLED DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COOL THE ENGINE DOWN AND GET THE TRUCK HOME. THE CHEVROLET DEALER DIAGNOSED A COOLANT LEAK AT THE RADIATOR. SERVICE BULLETIN PI1513F REFERS TO THIS AS BEING CAUSED BY A FAULTY THERMOSTAT WHICH RESULTS IN FRACTURES IN THE RADIATOR. "THIS CONDITION MAY BE THE RESULT OF EXCESSIVE THERMOCYCLES WITHIN THE COOLING SYSTEM CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT. THESE EXCESSIVE THERMOCYCLES WITHIN THE COOLANT SYSTEM MAY CAUSE THE TUBES TO FATIGUE, CRACK AND LEAK AT THE RADIATOR HEADERS. TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, A NEW THERMOSTAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED THAT ELIMINATES THE THERMOSTATS EXCESSIVE CYCLING." THE QUOTED COST TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT AT THE DEALER IS $1800 GM HAS APPARENTLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100000 MILES UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ON THE 2014 MODELS, BUT NOT THE OTHER AFFECTED MODEL YEARS.

SAME FAILURE SAME LOCATION AND BETWEEN 60 & 75K. REPAIRED MINE MYSELF & MY WARRANTY PAID ME BACK FOR NEW CONDENSER ($219) BUT NOT THE FREON OR MY LABOR. THERE'S MOST DEFINITELY AN ISSUE ON THIS PART AND SAW NO VISIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THE OLD/ NEW PIECE OTHER THAN A 6'X 6' SQUARE OF ALUMINUM TYPE FLEX PAD IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER ON DRIVER'S SIDE.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN REVERSING UP A DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK WILL STALL AS THE GAS IS PRESSED IT WILL REV UP BUT NOT GO ANYWHERE, THEN JUMP INTO REVERSE AS IF THE PETAL WAS FLOORED. ALSO SOME TIMES WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEARS ALSO JUMPING INTO GEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

SO DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE YOLK ON THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND ENGINE COMMUNICATION LEADS TO EXTREME VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CLUNKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THERE IS A DELAY IN THE MOTOR RECOGNIZING IT SO IT REVS UP SOME SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY FINDS THE GEAR IT CAUSES IT TO KICK. AND SINCE THE YOLK HAS PLAY IN IT, IT CAUSES THE DIFFERENTIAL TO CLUNK AS THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT CATCHES UP AT A QUICKER RATE. WHICH LEADS TO MORE LOOSENESS IN THE YOKE AND CREATES A WOBBLE IN THE DRIVESHAFT. AND AN UNSETTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AROUND.
