Mine was built in November. Just bought Range V8 to shut off the AFM. Will keep you posted when I plug it in.

I will be picking mine up from the dealer today. They changed all for tires and put on Michelins. The service manager said he drove it before and after and said it is a night and day difference. We shall see. Ill have a 35 mile ride home from the dealer to determine if it is fixed. Will let y'all know. On the positive side... I have brand new Michelins. The truck has 12600 miles on it so I wont have to change tires for a while.

Yes, you will like the Michelins. LTX MS2 ? They ride better, stop better and better all around traction, esp. over the GY LS.

 

Let us know and you may have to look around for a good balance if a little off. Some dealers are not the best at balancing as eq maybe old or tech not up to speed. Most dealers do not balance a lot of tires. Not like Discount or Costco etc...

They said they "road force" balanced them after they drove it for 20 min or so. They say they only balance the tire after it is at operating temp.

Let us know. The AFM feature was one of those things I thought I wouldn't like but it is so seamless that I'm going to leave it be.

That just confirms they don't have a clue. It only changes the psi in the tire when its up to temp.

They could just add a psi or two and achieve the same effect

Thats what I told them. Since GM has not officially admitted to the problem they will all be clueless until GM figures out how to fix it. Some are having driveline vibration and some tire vibration. They say mine is in the "tire range" when they hook up the computer that measures it. So hopefully this will be it for me.

I just got of the phone with my GM liasion person who deals with the BBB. I just got back my truck that once again "had a tire that was road force balanced and way off." The tire was replaced and the truck still vibrates at highway speeds. These are the Goodyear tires. It is better but it is still very much there, oh and another tire was out of balance again. That would be four tires that were balanced 6 times in under 5,000 miles. She stated that "these trucks just do this" and that they will not help me any further, i.e. no buy back.

 

Class act company.

Demand that they put new tires. Anything other then the Goodyear LS2. continential or michelin have the best ride quality and tread wear.

In my state you have to go through the dispute resolution process with BBB before you sue. So if that seems the outcome you will get the faster it goes through the quicker you get resolution. I doubt they let this go past this process, the ramifications of being sued and loosing are huge. If they loose one of these cases in court everyone with a small vibration will be getting their trucks repaired.

 

I put Nitto's on my truck. They blamed the tires. We put my tires on another truck and it road smooth as glass. It isn't the tires and the test we did on mine eliminated the tires. I own two 2014 and one doesn't have this problem. I have been in other trucks that do have the problem, so if I get told "these trucks just do this" I have to claim BS not all do.

 

I do not think it is a cheap tire problem. I think expensive tires help mask the problem though and you may not notice it as much. But later on if you switch to different tires will it be worse again?

I smell a class action lawsuit.

    • Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....
    • 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!  
    • 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!  
    • Recently acquired new 2026 Silv. 1500 WT  - L3B + 4WD,  std cab + std bed, in (duh!) Sierra White. Upgrades: replaced 'steelies' w/  Vision "Flow" black alloys,  17x8.5"; HDX nerf bar w/steps (black powdercoat); Weatherguard large/deep alloy saddle toolbox; Michelin fitted bedmat (sale, perfect fit) Weathertech door sill guards TBD: rear wheebox liners 4x black fender arch trim - searching for best  (Putco: chrome only; not looking for flares either!) -Bill    
    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
