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.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
