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

Report back when you get some miles on her at speed. Be interesting to hear the results.

quickvert1: glad to hear the LTX may be the fix. Been running them for years, road and in and out of rough STex pastures. All good.

 

P.S. if they ever get the Bilsteins in 5100 for the '14s going, they will take out that harshness you mentioned. Firm, controlled but not harsh.

I'm having similar problems, I have a 2014 double cab 4x4 v6 sierra. I'm having a problem where the truck shakes at low Rpms in what feels to be high gear (around 45mp, it feels like the truck is struggling as if you were driving a standard car at very slow speed and in top gear). I also noticed that going down hill my tach bounces up and down about 500rpm.

Quickvert1, did the dealer put the Mechelins on or did you pay for them out of your own pocket?

I would like to report an encouraging development. I took my 2014 Z71 double cab into the dealership about two months ago to get the vibration problem looked at. They told me I had one tire out of balance which they said they rebalanced. Afterwards, I took it out on the highway but still had a slight vibration at 70-75. After reading all the post on this forum, I decided just to wait and see what happens. Well, over the last month or so, the vibration has completely stopped. 75 is smooth. Took it up to 85 yesterday. Still smooth as glass. I just turned over 3200 miles. I have no idea why the vibration has stopped. Tire wear, suspension breaking in, what??? Whatever has happened, I hope it is permanent.

 

As a side note, I have not experienced any other problems some folks have been reporting. No noise in rear end, dash is not warping, no rattles. This is the third Silverado in a row I have owned. I had a 2004, 08, now a 14. This truck is the best by far. It's tight, quiet, the 5.3 is kick ass and all electronics to include mylink works perfectly. I love this truck...as long as the vibration issue remains a non-issue.

I have he exact same problem as identified in Silver Spaceship's original post. 2014 Silverado, purchased in November, (Special Ordered it), 5.3, Ltz Crew Cab with 308 rear end. Noticed the vibration issue when I picked it up. Starts around 45 mph. Took it to the dealer and they balanced the tires. Did not fix the issue. Took it back and they did a road force balance, did not fix the problem. They said I had a bad tire, Goodyear. I worked out a deal to have them install Michelin LTX M/S 275/55/ R20, I paid the difference, between the Goodyears approx. $500.00. Did not fix the problem, returned to the dealer and they did a road force balance. Did not fix the issue. I'm taking it back again this morning.....

well just maybe that dealer cannot balance a tire. biggspell, try a good tire shop for a balance. where are you located? Does the dealer sell a lot of tires and thus balance often? Doubt it...

Good advice, that's what I would do.

I'm not taking my brand new vehicle under warranty to a local tire shop... As per all these posts the only thing that's clear to me at this point is that it's not the tires...

      Some Assembly is Required

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
