Keep in mind that GMT900s had their share of problems when they first came out in 2007. Leaking rear main seals, lint collecting cloth seats, bumpers that would dent if you sneezed too hard, AFM shudder, AFM oil burning issues, etc.

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

'14 Sierra AT w/ 20" wheels. 670 miles now.

 

Finally got it on the interstate saturday, cracked 70 and the front end & steering wheel vibrated quite a bit getting worse up to 80 but never went faster.

 

The return trip yesterday was hampered by weather, but the couple times I was over 70 I didn't notice the vibrations as much - hoping the front end just needed to break in a bit.

 

Have other issues that the dealer needs to work on, going to get it out again before I take it in to see if the vibration comes back...hopefully it doesn't come back.

Sorry to disappoint you, but front ends do not break in. They usually just break. If you feel vibration now, it is going to come back and get worse until the problem is corrected.

its going to break in damnit! :fingersx::shakehead:

 

Having not noticed it on the way back, I'm hoping I just had some ice frozen in one of the front wheels...

That would be the best outcome! I had too many vehicles in my life to know that front end problems do not cure themselves though.

As a side note, I have a friend that sells Goodyears (a large regional company) and he says they are having all kinds of problems with these SR-A's...thinks there is a problem with the mold and they are all "round", but all have side to side movement!! He thinks it will be a while, but fully expects a recall on these tires....

 

Any idea if this recall is really going to happen. I've been reading some horrible blogs/reviews on the internet the last few days outside our forums about these tires now that most of the country is seeing winter conditions.

My friend, the Goodyear rep, has no idea WHEN the recall will happen...but he is fairly positive it will....GM could get off their AS# and pressure Goodyear to act....and more importantly GM could get all of us some answers to the problem continuing after a tire brand change has been done on our beloved 2014 Siverados and Sierras..........

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that. My current goodyears are fine, but a chance to get new tires for free. hot dog.

Do any of you having this problem have trucks with recent build dates?

Got my truck about 4 months and 9000 miles ago (double cab 4x4 5.3 w/3.42) and seem to notice that I only have the vibration when I have a trailer hooked up. I have tried multiple trailers and it's the same, so not in the trailer. Took it to the dealer with the trailer hooked up, they pit on the service ticket that it was possibly an overloaded trailer. 3000 lbs max, and I thought these trucks were supposed to have the highest towing capacity they ever had. They also had something to say about my leveling kit being on there. And then proceeded to tell me there was a difference in mine and the 10 they had sitting on the lot that they had installed.

I posted this a while ago in more detail. In short light aluminum open trailer (two quads)=bad vibration. Heavy trailer (camper) no vibration. Service tech wants to see the truck with the trailer but haven't had time to waste yet.

I too have faced this problem. Noticed vibration above 60 mph on the way home from the dealer and returned the next week and they performed a road force balance and replaced a bad tire. Drive home and the vibration persist. Next week took it to another dealer locally and they did a road force balance (even though I told them it was just done). They say the tires are fine but that they are getting at least one 2014 silverado a week with this vibration issue and havent been able to fix a single one. Service manager basically told me there was nothing he could do and hopefully GM would provide a solution soon. 40k truck and it is miserable to drive on the highway and now it's starting to have a vibration at even lower speeds. Jennifer T., please tell us that GM is aware of this issue and working to find a solution quickly!

I had the road force balance done as well. They said that they were as in balance as possible, but rebalanced anyway and when I got back on the road at around 65 it immediately started back. Maybe worse than when I took it in. I'm getting ready to drive from South Carolina to TX, FL, and Mass in jan and don't want this problem aggravating me all the way.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
