Indiana has a great lemon law. I hope I don't have to press it.

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

I am not paying $60 after paying 50 K. They can keep it.

The difference is, I'm enjoying my 50k truck and you're not...

I would bet that if you took it to an independent tire shop and had the tires balanced and it fixed the problem the dealership would gladly shell out the $60 to reimburse you. Just sayin...

Probably not the tires. Vibration is worse during slow acceleration.

Trust me, I have seen tire problems where the tire belt came loose and it caused all kinds of strange vibration problems even at lower speeds. If yours is a 4WD truck, then there is a possibility of bad inner CV joints on front axles perhaps. Those, if bad, tend to cause vibration under acceleration on front wheel drive cars.

How can the tires or u joints be an issue on a truck that has 1300 miles?

Yesterday I had the dealer install the 2" leveling kit. Tonight took the truck on the highway. Guess what, hit 70mph under acceleration and total vibration. Feels like it in the front end maybe drive shaft. As soon as you take your foot off the pedal it goes away slowly. Did this as soon as you hit 70mph and all the way through 85mph (didn't go any faster). I'm going to have the dealer remove the level. Truck used to ride like a Cadillac, now not so much.

UPDATE:

 

I'd like to take this time to notate the term "Operator Error"

 

So this morning we had a little snow. I had to put the truck in "Auto" on the transfer case switch. Apparently my truck does not like to operate above 70mph in "Auto". So I pulled over and switched it into "2" for 2 wheel drive and the vibrations went away.

Topic is sliding back fast.. How many people found out what was causing the vibes... Curious if any? A friend has a new GMC and the dealer is giving him the run around. We had the tires checked as well and they were normal

I have General Motors involved with mine at this point. I have had 4 sets of tires on it, and 2 different sets of wheels. They have had the truck completely apart and in the shop for 12 days this last go round checking the drive line, axle flange specs etc etc and couldn't find anything. Guess what their suggestion was, another set of tires! They are trying Michelins next week, I am doubtful its tires after 4 different sets but I have to play the GM game if I want to make any headway. I have more than enough shop time and attempts to claim lemon law here in FL, but since GM is already involved, I am hoping they step up and do what is right at this point.

hotrodz37: Once the Michelins are on and if still a problem take it to a good tire shop to check the balance and run out of the tires.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
