If you have 20" tires, I'd just keep asking the dealer to rebalance. You could also ask to try a set of 17" or 18" tires to compare. Or put your tires on another vehicle to narrow down the source of the problem.

 

Did it, did it and did it.

I have done all this and more. At this point I do not think the vibration many describe is a tire issue. There may be a few that are but many not.

 

However from your description I would think yours is an issue with the tires since it just started.

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

I am sure other manufactures are having problems.

 

Statistics can be bent and shaped to say whatever point you want to make though.

 

Here are my statistics; 3 of the 7 2014's I have been in have the vibration issue. That would be 42% of the chevy half ton trucks.

Looking over the ill fitting rear door issues GMC and Chevy has, on the dealers lot we found about 30% of the trucks have issues.

And how does that compare to your fleet of Ford, Ram, Toyota trucks and your survey of their trucks on tose OEM lots?

 

Again, I'm not saying GM doesn't have problems, just that others have the same or worse.

Since we have two new Fords at work and 1 has a bad vibration in the rear end I would say 50% of the Fords are bad.

 

But here is the statistic that bothers me the most. Of the 7 new Chevy's I have owned in the last 30 years, 100% of the 2014's I have owned have issues I would consider major. 0% of all my older Chevy's had major issues during warranty. That is the statistic that gets me wondering if the new GM is living on and milking the old GM's reputation.

There was a tsb for under torqued pinion gear nut, could it be this issue has not completly gone away after all this nut would be fastened by a nut runner tool these days! If the tools readings showed good torque, but no counter quality check or recalibration of tool was done then you could have a batch or range of under torqued parts.

DC tools are great for accuracy, as long as critical fasteners are tested manualy aginst the tools readings.

After all a tools readings are digitaly achieved by the ability to reach torque, angle, and run out.

If someone can locate that TSB or equivalent document for the date issued or the "range affected"

Tires are only part of the problem for most of us. I feel that tires may have helped some, but there is a secondary issue for most folks here at play.

I notice my vibe more at around 70 to 80 km. Gm is going to lose on these trucks. Ram will be # 2 in no time if gm keeps this up.my geuss is that they will be next to giving these away soon. After all you can really call them government motors!

Just an update from this am. I just drove about 24 miles, mostly highway. I brought the truck up to 70 and set the crusie control the whole way and the truck drove very nice. Yeserday was not the case however. It was much warmer yesterday than this am, and I really never started being bothered by vibration until the warmer weather started hitting (I bought my truck at the begining of Feb). Could warmer temps have somehting to do with these vibration issues or no?

I have seen problems with tires that had a loose steel belt. The longer you drove and the warmer it was outside, the hotter the tires got and the worse the vibration got. So yes, there could be a correlation here between ambient temperature, length and speed of driving, and vibration.

Hey neighbor I live near alliston, I guess we have something in common both have vibration in our trucks.

That is where I have it also.

Does anyone have viberation when letting off on the gas to slow down? I am having this problem! I have not brought the truck in for the last recall on the transmission. I am hoping this will be the issue.

Mine will be going in next week to get checked out. Vibrates from 55-65mph. Smooths out until 77mph. I spoke with the dealership and they've had no one complain about vibrations. We'll see what happens. They better get it right or I'll be going elswhere to buy my CTSV Wagon.

Add me to the list. 2014 Silverado LTZ Doublecab 4x4, GoodYears. Took the highway on the way home from the dealership upon purchasing it and immediately had a bad vibration. Brought it back the next day. They kept it for 2 days. Replaced 1 "bad" tire. On the ride home, I noticed the vibration was much less but not fixed. Brought it back 2 days later. They had it a few more days. They said they replaced the axle. Did not fix it. The truck has an annoying vibration mainly in the 40-50 mph range. It does have vibration in other ranges but I can deal with that. This is my 6th consecutive new GM truck and most likely my last. This truck is the WORST driving truck I have ever owned!!!

If you cant beat them, then join them! Take a look at nissan, with there titan truck. Not saying that is anything special, but when dodge took them for a ride with a partnership that went down the drain. They didnt rush a new pick up, to keep in line with the other auto makers. They are waiting untill they can get it right! I will be very intrested to see the new titan with the 5.0 liter V8 cummins diesel. That will be a mean truck!

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
