  2. thanks for the help guys. That is what I thought about the springs. Shouldn't take me all day lets hope. Any one have experience with a body lift?
  3. Alright guys so I have been reading that the shocks we have all been waiting for are coming out in January. They also say that they will be back ordered like crazy. So a couple questions for the people that have done this before. All you have to do is transfer over the springs correct? I have also seen on the web that they make a rear shock that evidently adds 1" to the rear. I saw a couple of you guys with 2014's have put them on your trucks I am also planning to do a 1.5" body lift. If anyone has installed this themselves let me know if it is worth it just to pay someone to put it on.
  4. Well the truck went into the shop on sunday night and I have not gottten a call until today (tuesday)..... Nothing they can see with warranty claims.... so they took it upon themselves to see why my truck was shaking so bad. Turns out it is a bent drive shaft due to someone "offroading" Well to be honest if you get a 4x4 truck what else are you expected to do with it! Im not talking rock climbing offroading just simple trails through the woods to get to a fishing spot or something. So the guy calls me around 11 am and says whats up with it and that it will cost about 900 bucks to replace it. I told him I would have to call him back since I was walking to class (i am a college student) So I call him back later that same day and this is what he says to me after he puts me on hold mid conversation for 5 min. "Because it is not a warranty issue and we can see why it was bent we will not cover it." He then proceded to break down the replacement charges and said that a new drive shaft is 500 bucks and that there was an 89 dollar charge to isolate the problem. That got me livid! I argued with him saying that I brought it in for warranty stuff not expecting to get charged and I was unaware of what they were doing! He then said he would wave the charge after saying that now the mechanic that looked at my truck wasnt going to get paid. So fast foward a little to the end of our conversation when he said so are we going to repair it or are you? I said im not exactly sure I know how to do most mechanical things and have the tools. He then interrupted me saying im only saving 109 bucks and is there a reason for this. I said yes because I am a college student and have to also work my way through school. He then said that Im in college owning a 2014 silverado so I dont know how much of that I am paying for (i guess he thought mommy and daddy bought me it?) This is just ridiculous how they talk to me just because I am younger? I give respect to everyone I talk to but this guy talked down to me the entire time. Most defently the last time I buy from them. My dad bought a fully loaded avalanche from them and it was hard to get them to do work on his truck. Probably the last chevy I will own.... that is new at least Have any of you guys gotten your drive shafts replaced because of this vibration issues?
  5. Well I tried to read most of the posts... but 202 pages is a lot. Here is what I got out of it. It can be almost anything, I have about 9000 miles and have felt the vibrations. I also sometimes get a loud clunk from somewhere in the middle of the truck when I either slow down to a complete stop or when I take off from like 3rd gear. I did rotate my tires and felt it even more then before. However, I think it was just the hype of getting a new truck that I talked myself out of it. But now.... I really feel it now... on roads that were just paved too. It does go away after turns on the high way though. I do not really notice it at low speed but when I have things in my cup holder they vibrate so much! I am going to try to put my dads 20's on off of his avalanche (Michelin tires) and see where that gets me.... if it is still there then it will go into the shop and the war will start.... For the guys that got buy backs.... did you get reimbursed completely and what happened after that? Also could you just upgrade to a 2500 diesel then?
