Received a call from the GM rep I was dealing with. They are saying it is characteristic of the truck to vibrate and they can't do anything for me wtf they have definitely lost a customer for life once I get rid of this POS Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

 

Tim, if GM won't work with you and you haven't tried tires yet, I would go out and get a set of Michelins. They have a 30 day ride guarantee, and if they don't solve your vibration, take them back to the tire shop that sold them and get your money back. If they do cure the vibration, take the bill to your dealer and see what they will do. If they don't pay for them at least your shake is gone. I agree we shouldn't have to pay 1k+ for tires that ride well but hell, at this point I would gladly fork over 1k if it solved the vibes. Granted I think it is an issue beyond tires, but if you haven't tried them at least you can rule that out if your dealer hasn't. Just a thought. Good luck!

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

Earlier you posted the dealer offered you another truck? And they only let you test one? Surely they had others to offer or test drive.

 

If you haven't done it yet go to page 34 of your warranty book. Follow the instructions exactly. If you haven't started Step 2 do so now.

Just read step 2 of the warranty. I've also been that route. GM rep says that's how the trucks ride. The dealers are our eyes and ears and they say the truck is normal....

It says to call a GM rep and they will work with you and the dealer. It says if that fails move to step 3 which is report it to the BBB. My step 3 will b with NJ lemon law.

Well all of a sudden i started feeling a vibration while I was driving home from work. I was driving around 65mph and it didn't go away the whole way home. I don't know if i'm being paranoid but the vibration was not there before. I have been driving it around and im getting it at all speeds. Even at idle my steering wheel is vibrating. I'm calling my dealership tomorrow but i don't know how they will help me since their customer service is not what i expected.

Has anyone else noticed a severe lack of GM customer service reps vowing to help?...LOL appears these trucks are just too riddled with issues for them to be of any "help" anymore. .. in the beginning I would see numerous posts from them..haven't seen one in a hot minute.

You're exactly right! I saw GM customer service all the time on these forums trying to help...

Well i'm taking my truck to the dealer in a couple of hours. What should I have them look over first and should I let them know that this is a known issue?

I don't think it is as common as you would be lead to believe reading this thread. Both dealers I have been dealing with say they haven't had many vibration complaints.

 

Also I am not sure there is one fix for the majority of the complaints. The ones that have found a fix and posted in this thread have different things corrected. Tires, motor mounts, drive shafts, torque convertors, exhaust systems and rear ends have all solved the problem for some.

 

Your issue sounds different than most which are at highway speeds and above 40mph. If yours is vibrating at idol (and stopped?) it sounds like a motor mount or engine problem and you should be able to easily show the dealer what it is doing.

A service advisor is for sure not gong to admit to any problems of any vehicle.

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.
