My first truck was that bad... After they replaced pretty much everything rear or the tranny, including the rear end, it never got any better... 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

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

Did you get a new truck?

GM and my dealer ended up buying it back and now I have an LTZ Z71. My first was an LT 4x4. That truck had literally everything replaced and no fix. GM gave me "Trade in assistance" along with the 35 K the dealer gave me. I put a new set of tires on and its as smooth as glass now. I ended up paying like $1200 difference for the LTZ otd.

I have an idea... Someone put their truck in M5 and go cruising down the highway at 75 and see if it goes away. This would eliminate the 6th gear which is where most of us are feeling it on the highway, and see if its a tranny problem.

I'll try that next time I hit the highway. In the meantime I will just try to not think about it . Kinda ruins the entire weekend after u pick up your new truck on Friday after it was in the shop for the third time in the past month and it's not any better.

Although I have not experienced the problem with my truck I did with another motor that wasn't running on all cylinders. Could it be the AFM that's not letting the motor run on all 8 cylinders?

Or timing off via screwed up software?

Mine isn't that bad...but bad enought to be annoying. I've tried stepping on it a bit and it does it in V8 mode too....even after it's downshifted to another gear. I think I even tried shifting into Neutral and coasting over 70 and it did it. It seems not to be AFM related, or transmission related, at least with my truck. Completly dependent on rolling speed...over 70 and for a few miles before it starts happening. The warmer out, the worse it is...the higher the tire presure, the worse it is. Yesterday we took a family day and drove backroads up to 5o-55 to the beach, shopping, and out to eat. It was a nice day and the truck drove beautifully. We drove something like 92 miles, and averaged 21.4 MPG! If this truck wasn't so damn nice looking, and got such great fuel economy it'd be in big trouble LOL! I was set to buy tires and an alignment...but now I'm taking it in Tuesday and letting them keep it a while and see what they find. You have to try that first and who knows...they may fix it. This CANT be a mystery forever. I dont think there's ever been a vehicle made that an issue with it remains a mystery to this day. They'll figure it out. The service manager I spoke with did say they've seen alot of them coming in for vibration, and it seems like both GY and Michelin tires are on trucks that vibrate. He did say recently, they had to shim a rear end on one truck, and an engine mount in another to fix high speed vibration. He seems like a real nice guy, who wants to get to the bottom of your problem so that's promising. We'll see what they discover this week.

Let me just say this, there is enough people out there with this issue that GM must have an idea of what is going on!

Are they not doing anything about this? Or is it because it will be too costly to fix all these trucks now, and it is only a vibration right.

Everybody you need to report it to your local government agency like NHTSA with concerns that new vehicle s should not vibrate, and it is not safe!

Also report these tires, they are not right with the sidewalls deforming this soon.

Speak up people, and enough of us they will have to investigate our concerns folks.

Then we may learn the truth about these trucks.

I had enough lies, I have started legal actions to correct my vibration!

I also reported my concerns over safety with this truck too.

Well as I was researching the vibration issue some more I decided to make a quick video of my idle vibration . If someone who has a smooth riding truck could create one to show it is not just engine related that would be cool! So here is my truck idle with some vibration .

Do you think some of your shaking issues could be related to the lift kit on your truck? And do you really think comparing it to an Escape is a fair comparison?

Glad you got a new truck! And glad your new one is vibration free!

Well I don't have a spare 60k $ truck to compare it to in my possession so I'm working with what I got :) a 25k$ Ford . That's why I asked if someone like yourself could post one . Did you read that part?

And also I had a 2011 with the same lift and tires/ rim size and it did not have any issues with this much vibration. but to answer your question I have considered the lift to be part of the problem but the dealer has not found anything wrong with the lift . Had a new drive shaft installed that helped a little and the tires force balanced twice . My salesman said the others he has sold with exact same lift and wheel combo are not having the problems I am ...

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
