Hey Mike,

 

I had the bridgestones put on my truck this morning and it didn't fix mine either. I too am waiting to hear back from Jeff for the next step. I have a vibration in 8 cylinder mode and it gets a whole lot worse in 4 cylinder mode, and they want me to buy a $200 aftermarket module to disable the 4 cylinder mode...I don't think so, maybe they should fix their own problems!

Sorry for you brother, this entire process is so frustrating. I am dealing with GM now, Dealership pretty much said they can not do anything more for me and directed me to go to GM. We talked on friday, idk what the ultimate result is going to be yet, but tomorrow is the day I hope this will all be resolved.

 

Idk if I asked you this yet, but when was your truck built, mine was june 2013. Just curious

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

Took my truck in to dealer yesterday for the shaking and found the 2 rear tires were bad. Funny thing is that out of the 3 new tires they had in stock, only 1 was good wtf :confused: . I have to take it back to get the other bad tire replaced. Don't know what is going on with this issue, will see what happens.

 

this right here is why I replace OEMs on my own dime ASAP, if not the same day I pick up the ride. Life is too short and the cost of good non-OEMs is nothing compared to what one throws at GM for the ride. Only exception to this rule is if the ride comes with Michelins. Then just to my friend Ted for trueing and high speed balance on the car/truck.

can someone tell me why the 5.3L engine is now on restriction? Thought I may look into a high country build (different suspension) but the 5.3L from what I understand is on restriction

Anyone have any more info on this? I did a search and can't find anything but I'm very curious.

Mine was built in June as well and I had the vibration. I have the 20 in polished wheels and gy ls2 rubbers. Dealer road forced them and one came back at 41 something when 18 is the limit? Idk what that means but I'm happy now. New tire now and NO vibration all the way to 85 MPH. I didn't go faster BC it was only there between 72-80 mph.

What is "on restriction"?

 

Generally means what is holding up a vehicle from being built from either parts shortages or changes to previously published option availability when an order is placed.

Hey Mike,

 

Let me know what they say tomorrow. Where do I find the build date?

Have to wait till the end of the week, most likely next week to get everything figured out. Service manager is away and general sales manager is in Russia watching the olympics.

 

was there any improvement at all from the new tires?

My build date is July, the tires didn't do anything to improve it.

 

So Jeff is away? I've left 2 messages and no one calls back or tells me that he's away, such good service!

How bad is this vibration you guys are talking about. Just drove my truck over 75 mph for the first time and I had a little vibration. Nothing too serious. Does it get worse with time? I felt most of the vib in the steering wheel, seat didn't shake or anything.

I have 688 miles and the Goodyear 20" sra's.

Yes it will get worse... at first i thought it was just the road... but learned after a couple thousand miles that it gets ever so slightly worse and worse...you'll probably hear a barely audible reverb in the cab too (like a sunroof is barely open) if you turn your radio off... It bugs the snot out of me.. Ive got a Luandry list of issues with mine and will be dropping it off at the dealer and WILL NOT accept it back until EVERYTHING is fixed.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
