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've tried everything and still have the rattle.  My next thing to eliminate is the seatbelt connection on the real pillar.  The cover seems loose and could be the source.  I found one of my grandsons video games in the back seat rest compartment   and had a glimmer of joy, but that wasn't it.  I'll keep trying.  
    • I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!
    • Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
    • We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.
