I did take the service manager for a ride. He was like blowing me off. I called GM today and opened a case so we will see. They asked what I wanted, I told them fix the truck to my satisfaction, or buy it back and I'll buy a 2015 2500 HD.

 

And what did he say?

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

Having the same problem. The shaking is intermittent at speeds over 70MPH. Truck has been to 2 different dealerships for repair 4 times. They have changed 3 of the 4 tires saying they were "out of spec" and they have "force balanced" all 4 wheels several times. Nothing has made the issue better or worse. Last time it was in the shop they hooked some computer up to the seat to measure the "freaquency" of the vibration and from what the "freaquency" the vibration puts out tells them it is a tire issue. Well if it was a tire issue it would not happen intermittently it would happen all the time wouldnt it? Spoke with the service manager yesterday and he said he is working on a 2014 with the same issue, he is working with chevy on the issue and when he fixed that one they will know what to do with mine. Almost ready to file a lemon law on this thing.

It is possible one of the new tires could be bad. My suggestion would be to get rid of the Goodyears all together. I have this same issue, but I know it's one of my tires because it rode fine (surprisingly with the Goodyears) and since I put a new set of all-terrains on it, it has showed up. Seems to be a harmonic vibration, when the 2 tires get in sync with eachother is when it is worse. Or it might not be tires at all in your case, but from what most members here are saying is that it shakes all the time, not just intermittently which are signs of the infamous harmonic vibe.

If he intends to buy a new HD truck anyway, they will probably go along with it.

It is too steady of a vibration to be harmonic vibe. I am hoping it is the tires in some way. I heard of something called the "crew cab hop" that was in issue with the 04-06 crew cabs. Basically the wind hitting the body of the truck a certain way causing a shake/vibration. Wondering if that has something to do with it. I will let you know what he service manager comes up with for a repair. Hope the engineers at GM have figured it out.

He said it felt normal to him. The sale guy felt it and said it does not feel right plus the HD did not do it on the same roads.

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with 4k miles on it. The truck has had a vibration in the steering and coming through the pedals from day one. My local dealer has attempted to fix the vibration 4 times. They have road force balanced the tires and taken the tires off the rims and spun them 90 degrees and remounted. That didn't work so they replaced the tires with brand new tires and it still vibrates very badly. The vibration starts at 45 mph and gets worst from there.

 

I am ready to drop the keys off to the dealer and walk away. I will try to contact GM tomorrow then call my finance company to help with the buy back. I have done my part to allow them to fix the issue with no results.

A continual soft vibration or is it harsh.

Mine has a vibration that ranges from soft to a bit annoying.

Hey gdadlow, is yours a 5.3 0r 6.2

5.3 3.42 ratio. Michelins and vibration dampeners fixed it. Look back through my posts to get part numbers.

Try Michelins before you give up. Look back at my posts to see what they did to fix.

Read back on my post. Mine is smooth now. Goodyears are junk. 4 piece tire vs Michelins 8 piece.

Not the tires, although the stock tires are junk.

 

I have Nitto Terra Grapplers.

They claimed it was the oversized tires.

I had balanced them twice and told them no.

We took my tires and put it on another truck. It ran perfect with my tires. With its tires I still had a vibration. So we eliminated the tires as a problem.

 

My vibration feels like a hum in the steering wheel. It will get noticeable after 30 mph. Sometimes it is annoying sometimes not noticeable.

That vibration at 30 mph could have something to do with the fuel management system. (engine going to 4 cyl) I notice it only when mine is running on 4 cyl. It just sounds like a low rumble.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By parthery · Posted

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.

      Welcome to the group!  My '22 just crossed 150K miles.  Runs perfectly.  Oil pump belt will be done in the next 30 days or so and onward hopefully for another 150K.  Love the truck.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!
