Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

Today I asked about this problem at my local Chevy dealer and they acted as if this was news to them. Just how widespread is this vibration issue? Just out of curiosity I will test drive a new 2014 Silverado with Goodyear Wrangler tires and see how it rides.

make sure u take it up to 75 80 mph and push it a little hard to get to 75. don't floor it just push it a little hard if you know what im saying. if it dose not shake let go of the gas down to about 65 and then go back up to 75 80.thats how i fell my truck start shaking.

jcr3 did they shim and center motor mounts?

No they didn't. if they did they didn't tell me that. They did say they reprogramed the transmission.

what my truck had the goodyears and they just changed them to continentals lol. about 2 weeks ago but i have not been able to test drive my truck because i work out of town i did drive it with the continentals for about 2 days it felt fine on some roads but on others it didn't. but i didn't have time to drive it that much. my truck has 6000 miles on it and i have had it for like 6 months i think. good years r not going to solve the problem cuz i had them tires

Sorry for all the troubles everyone is having. I drove a dozen 14 Silverados and Sierras before buying and none of them had a vibration issue. It was a good random sampling of all the different tire sizes and brands, as well as a couple with lifts and aftermarket tires. The one I bought had a lift and aftermarket tires from day one, and it is still trouble free after 12,000 miles. I sure hope you all find the fix, because this is a huge blemish on an otherwise fine truck.

I'm friends with the my local Chevy (owner) along with the service manager. I asked both if they have heard or had customer complaint's on the 14 Silverado vibrating/shaking. Both told me it's the first they have heard of it. Both are good fiends and I have no reason not to believe them.

 

Like I stated earlier in another post on this thread, My truck has almost 6500 miles on and rides butter smooth. I certainly hope that those with issues, get a fix soon. I know I would be super pissed!

Just come across this and haven't read the entire thread,,, so anyway I recently purchased a 14 which does have a vibration around 65-70..its small, but noticeable when there is a strong head wind. The truck I first test drove had a very noticeably vibration and the day I drove it there was strong head wind, this truck also had the 3.08 gears, when I got back to the dealer I made the comment to him about it and of course he knew nothing.. so a couple days later I went back and test drove another the truck, the one I bought which had no vibration at the time....fast forward to a few days ago I was heading to work and there was a strong head wind and the same vibration I felt in the first truck I test drove is now happening to mine but not as noticeable, also my truck has 3.42 gears. I want to think it has something to do with tranny, possibly the programming.

Perhaps these vibration issues are a combination of mediocre tires, transmission shifting pattern programmed for maximum fuel economy( i.e shifting into higher gears too soon) and also the AFM system deactivating the cylinders. Seems to me that in their quest to maximize fuel economy , GM has shot themselves in the foot and went too far, introducing unpleasant vibration into the whole package. Maybe some trucks have a worst case stack up of these vibration levels and these are the worst ones.

 

Have you guys tried to drive your trucks in the tow/haul mode for some time to see if the

vibration is less pronounced? Tow/haul mode raises the shifting points so that at least one possible factor is eliminated. Another attempt I would make is to deactivate the AFM electronically to see if anything changes.

 

I really hate to see anyone get rid of a new truck due to a tire issue or something that can be corrected. You will always lose thousands of dollars when trading for an equivalent new truck, no matter what make or model. Dealers these days are a lot more greedy than they were some twenty years ago when they were happy to make $ 1000 on a used vehicle. Now they want to make at least $4k or $ 5k and even that does not seem enough to some.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
