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

Actually...going to the Subaru Dealer and thinking about getting into a new one to replace our current Subaru (150K miles and bulletproof) and using the little bit of equity I have left in this truck as a down payment. I had $11K in equity from trade for truck...it is down to around $9K and dropping.

 

From there I will look for a used 2500 HD to plow and use as a hunting truck...I am pretty much done unless the wife talks me out of it or the dealer puts their foot in the arse of their maintenance crew.

Hmmm GM's attempt at addressing the rougher ride on these trucks? http://blog.caranddriver.com/smooth-touch-gmc-makes-adaptive-dampers-standard-on-2015-sierra-1500-denali/

 

I personally don't mind a rough ride from stiff suspension since these were stiffened up to make the truck stronger.

 

Rough ride is ok, vibration in steering wheel is not...at least to me.

Anyone else just want to say... **** this, finding a deer and going to total the PoS truck? I'm ready to do that.

You'd be better putting sugar in the gas and smashing the shit out of it with a bat claiming vandalism... I know its frustrating but let the dealer try and fix it, and if they don't, Lemon law or buyback. You really have to have patience.

Been checking the NTB website almost everyday...and just saw they're have a great sale on tires...buy 2, get 2 free with the purchase of an alignment and lifetime balance. I called and they said I can get 4 Nitto Crosstek's with a 1 year alignment and life time balance / road hazard for $664. Hmmmm...it doesnt get any better than that for price...but what if it still shakes?

You'll only be out $150 after you sell your old ones... Its the best thing that I've done to my truck getting the shitty Goodyear's off.

I'm betting they still shake, but at least you will have better tires.

Don't sell old tires until your shake, vibration issue is resolved with dealer.

They will use the excuse these are not factory tires so we will not be checking them until you remove and replace with original tires and rims.

Others have been there with the dealer already.

Good luck

I was at discount tire to replace the GY with Nitto terra gapplers. But I decided to don't do that since my truck vibrates really bad and I don't want to have this type of discussion (aftermarket tires) with the dealer. Also if they replace the tires for a better/new tires, plus new rear end, driver shaft, etc, and the truck still vibrating bad, will be a lemon law/buyback. If they solved 90-100% of the problem, them I will replace the tires plus alignment out of the dealer.

If this was the case it sounds like pinion angle to me, but wouldn't describe why our new trucks don't shake under 70mph and do over since it is the same pinion angle at all speeds, unless you are towing. I know the Nissan Titan had a bad vibration at 45 mph that was eventually fixed after a few yrs with some shims. Maybe this is the case in our trucks as well.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
