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.

 

guess the mag ride will cost 4 grand or more. Just put 5100 Bilsteins on and your ride will more controlled and less harsh. And you can raise the front too with them.

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

Oh I'm definitely putting on the 4600's or 5100's as soon as these Rancho's need replacement.

Just made a 1300 mile road trip up the east coast. I75 in Fla, I95, and route 81. Some sections of road were horrendous, shaking the console, and passengers seat, while other roads were smooth as butter. My dealer put michelin's on my truck which made a huge difference all around. For those who haven't followed, I have a 14hc cc 4x4 with 3.42, and 6.2 motor. My cruise was set at 80, and 75 the entire trip. Avg 21mpg

So I was told today they rebalanced the tires AGAIN for the 6th time. I hate this truck and all the headaches it has caused me.

Pinion angles..... I'm thinking they are off. I am considering taking mine to off road shop and having them checked.

Update.. Had the service manager go for a ride with me. He tried lecturing me on sidewall profiles of 20" tires, how they road force balanced them, he's ridden in worse trucks blah blah blah. Their next step he says is to hook up their vibration tester since I already have a completely different set of wheels and tires on already. He doesn't figure its drive line related.. He acknowledges the shaking is there... But then said they wont even look at my truck again till hes back from vacation in 2 weeks. Hes like well think about it if you would like to pursue this.. No i want to shake down the damn road all the time. Said ill be seeing you in 2 weeks.

 

^an offroad shop seems like a good idea at this point

After looking in this tread the last few month I though I will give in update on my truck. Z71 5.3 4.42 gears 2wd 24000 miles to date I drive a lot for work lol. Got it in February after about a week it started to vibrate at hwy speeds. Took it in same stuff that everyone has heard here before. After multiple balances and road force I decided take it somewhere else on my dime. After talking to two shops I bought new tires nitto crosstrek 265/65/18 size the same that was on their. Help a little but that was not the main vibe. Call gm today they got me a hold of another dealer in my town. That im taking it to next week. After they find me a loaner truck to drive. I hope they will work with me more than the last. the last dealer i have bought 3 trucks and 2 car from them in 7 yrs plus what my mom and brother has got from them . never had a problem till now blows my mind. Good luck guys

Uggh. I've just about given up at this point. The 2014 Silverado, is just one of those models we'll all be laughing about years from now. It's the one that shook and drove like crap on the HW. The one people had seat issues with, the drink holders couldn't hold a bottle of anything...the groaning 4 wheel auto, the crappy radio reception, the one with the exhaust valve that freezes shut and keeps you from starting your truck...and whistles like a fake turbo for the other half. They were nice looking trucks though, they'll say... as if that's all that matters in the big scheme of things. What a shame....GM just isn't the same company that we all thought had our backs. They're all about money apparently....produce what will see for the cheapest possible and ignore the complaints that come in. Just tonight, my steering column started clicking and grinding when I pulled in the drive way after work. I may be done boys. Next we'll see Walmart selling GM trucks...seems fitting.

And the resale value will be non-existent. Sad. I will give em a few chances to fix it, but if they cannot, it may be wise to get out while you can. I can't see these things holding any value at all.

I'm resolved that GM will not help us with our brand new trucks, despite clearly a combination of poor build quality or out of spec drivetrain, that somehow after " millions of miles" of testing, somehow ended up with such a glaring vibration problem. There are now took many of us suffering from this to dismiss it as a isolated problem. Very disappointed in GM, and all I can say after 5,400 miles, is it's a nice looking truck but It drives like a POS. Just dealt with another 85mile highway drive on Friday night, which will be repeated Sunday, and many more weekends to follow, and had to bite my tongue while my seat, headrest, center console, all vibrating away, because my wife in the passenger seat said she doesn't want to hear anymore complaining about the problem. It's pathetic that the one good thing about my first GM pickup experience that I can say is only 2.25more years before my lease is up. GM you have lost me as a customer as soon as the lease expires. And I am taking every opportunity to share my poor experience with as many people as possible. I hope everyone else does the same. The more people are aware of this vibration problem the more it will effect GM, and someday maybe that will provoke GM to help us, instead of ignoring the problem. Frustrated owner, who can't wait for the lease to end...good work GM

Hmm, anyone thought of taking the shaking issue to the media. I bet if an investigative news reporter did a story on this problem GM would probably get this fixed real quick. Looking at all the recalls as of late I'm sure they don't need anymore bad publicity.

How about giving gm time to research and fix the issue. You folks sound like a bunch whining kids..... How do you know that gm isn't working on a fix? Nissan had the same issue and it was eventually resolved.

Seriously? Go back and check when this vibration thread was started. It's been a significant problem for almost a year now. Moron.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
