    Truck axle production moving back to the expensive US from cheaper Mexico. Been wondering since these posts if product quality was the reason for this change. http://www.autonews.com/article/20170116/OEM01/170119817/gm-to-invest-%241-billion-in-u.s.-manufacturing-move-axle-work-from http://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/index.ssf/2017/01/450_new_gm_jobs_coming_to_mich.html

    I'll take on your claim about worst dealer. Mine just ignored my complaints about vehicle shaking. The techs kept writing that the vehicle was operating to manufacturer's specs. Then the dealer replaced my wheels under the corrosion warranty. Lo and behold, shake almost completely gone! Just a quiver now and then and only on specific areas of freeways. SMH, I can't stand when the dealer doesn't believe me.

    Had the rims replaced on my vehicle yesterday. Took one short drive on the freeway, vehicle vibrates when driving in the 73-76 mph range. But the vehicle tracking is stable. No more vehicle shaking to the point it feels scary to drive. I don't think its going to get better than what I have now. I've decided to wait and see as some posters here mention that as the tires settle on the rims ride characteristics can change.

    I'm adding Costco to my strategy then. Here's my current situation: My 2014 Sierra obviously has a badly balanced wheel because it will shake depending on where tires are rotated to. With 22k on the odo and 18 months into my bumper to bumper warranty, my chrome wheels are blistering and the chrome is flaking off. Gm is replacing them under warranty and when I get it back if it shakes again I'll try Costco. But first, I'm going right from the dealer to a freeway to see if it's happening again. If it does I'll take it right back.

    Drove a friend's 2016 F150 recently, reminded me of the ride in my 2012 Sierra. My 2014 Sierra can't compete for ride quality. When I traded in I had no idea that the Sierra redesign was going to leave me wanting my old truck back. I think GM screwed the pooch when they updated the Sierra.

    I'm driving a 2014 Sierra and it still is not repaired. I can't even get the company/ dealer to acknowledge there's a problem.

    After several emails with GM priority care, I have been referred to "GM customer experience managers" back at my dealer. I am supposed to be contacted by someone today abut my truck's shaking.

    I thought I was lucky when, last year, the dealer balance my tires and my 2014 Sierra SLT stopped shaking. Recently it began again but in the 75-80mph range (18k on the odo). The dealer's mechanic says he cannot reproduce my concern and the dealer says they won't operate the vehicle at that speed. Take any Turnpike or Parkway in New Jersey and 70-75mph is the speed traffic is moving (65 mph speed limit). So unless you want to be the obstruction, you match traffic's speed. Do you think a call to GM customer care would even help?

    I am pleased to report that Putco Nite Lux LED lights will not melt your stock foglamp housings. The color temp is in the in the 6k range. They wash out the stock headlights when they're on. They light the side of the road. They light street signs from farther away than any headlamp I've ever used. They are not DOT approved. I do not get flashed by divers in the opposite lane.

    Still waiting for my headlight upgrade from the dealer, iI installed these in my foglight housings, problem solved. Part number 270016. http://www.putco.com/products.cfm?action=ProductView&Product=c43bd689-1372-636c-dd3f-59c6f4e8983b&category=2d6754bd-9be8-c408-ae66-fd8037d1078d&Search=1

    After reading this thread I can say that my 2014 Sierra does have less body shake. My 2012 Sierra had uncomfortable body shake driving over rough patches of roads. I realized, now, that my 2014 Sierra doesn't have body shake like the 2012. I am guessing the trade off is now that I get this resonance occurring, driving on smooth roads above 70mph. I live in New Jersey and don't often get a chance to drive above 70mph in daily driving. I agree that this resonance is intermittent and doesn't always happen. I've driven the same route some days and no vibration, other days the vibration in the truck gets a bit scary. I'm going to try changing the tire pressures and see what I get, the dealer delivered the truck with tire pressures of 35-38 psi.

    I took my 14 Sierra in 2 weeks ago and am waiting on Volsa bulbs. I really do believe my dealer could care less about my satisfaction with their product. My remedy was to install Putco Nite-lux LED bulbs in the fog lamp housings. Problem solved. If my vehicle ever receives the headlamp upgrade I will decide then if I need to install HIDs in the headlamp housings.

    Update: Took vehicle to dealer today. Service writer was different from the one who booked my appointment. I had to educated him on the TSB and document number. I had to show him the images of the TSB posted on this thread. Once he had a clue off the vehicle went to the mechanic, who in turn, was educated. Then the parts department, who were never informed to order the parts. Half an hour later am informed I will be called when the updated bulbs ship in. I'm used to this with GMC service,comunication among departments is terrible.

    I just called my dealer to have my headlamp bulbs replaced and the BCM update competed.. The tech. writer took the document number (4093100) and found the TSB5374. He stated this was only when customers complain about headlamp performance. I lodged my complaint verbally, he was willing to take me in same day to have the service performed. I asked him to check with parts to assure the bulbs are in stock and set a service appointment for 3 days from today.
