Professional grade vibration levels. New GM truck commercial.

jcr3 did they shim and center motor mounts?

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.

looks like we have the exact same problem.

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.
