I'd be interested in the process and proper steps to take as well.

Before you start the process you should go drive another truck on the lot or 10 for that matter. I have and so far every brand new crew cab I drove had vibration between 70-75 mph. I drove a double cab and it was smooth. I've had three sets of tires put on my truck and currently have Michelins and the vibe is still there. Had the drive shaft replaced, flipped, balanced, and it still vibrates. I'd love to swap out my truck for a new one but so far have not found a crew cab without vibration. Now I get to wait three more weeks for a TSE to drive my truck... I am extremely disappointed.

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

Arrrrgh...at least you have the strength to be patient.

 

I am not sure I have that kind of resolve.

I'm wondering if this is simply the resonant frequency of the structure coinciding with the rotational speed of the drive train......thus increased vibration levels.

 

If you shift the truck down to 3rd gear while driving 60-70 mph, is the vibration still as pronounced?

I drove to Daytona which is about 200 miles from where I live and she's smooth all the way to 90. I just wanted to show you that there really are smooth 1500's out there and to have hope. My truck was built 03/14 and after I took off my SRAs its like a different truck. I know this may not solve everyone's issues but new tires did it for me. My speedometer is off by 2 mph due to bigger tires, so I'm really doing 77 in the video. As you can see, nothing is shaking at all.

What brand and size tires did you replace the stock tires with?

Dude, Im glad your truck is this smooth...but watching your video really ticks me off, My truck is like riding on an oval shaped tire... You would think that if there are trucks out there riding this smooth GM engineers to take one and compare it to one like mine (or the thousands of others out there) and figure out whats wrong.... I dont have much more patience in me before Im done.. and might even be done with GM for good after this experience..here is a link to mine: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=EB_RUe5fbok

OK, it finally happened to me. I have Denali, 6.2, 3.42, crew cab, 6 ft bed, with 4600miles. I took delivery on Nov.7. The first time I noticed the vibration was about two months ago, when I had three other guys in the truck with me on a golf outing. I never noticed it again because I was always alone in the truck. Yesterday, my wife and mother-in-law were riding with me on a 300 mile trip. The truck vibrated consistently from 68 to78 mph. Over 80 it was pretty smooth. I have read most of this thread and still remain confused. By the way, I do have the factory chrome 22" wheels (SEY) and Bridgestone duelers. I dread going through the entire process of tire balancing, drive shaft balancing, etc.. I am convinced that tire balancing is not going to fix this vibration. The other thing is, I have never noticed it when I am alone in the truck. So I guess I am now a new member of a very unfortunate club!!!

By all means you're not stuck... Just say you're not happy with the vehicle and get with the GM at your dealer. I expressed how unhappy I was with my first 14 and they literally bent over backwards to get me in another at no cost to me. I paid 1k extra because they didn't have a comparable LT and now I have an LTZ. GM has a trade in assistance program to help with negative equity and they gave me more for my first than what I paid for it to begin with. Dealer gave me 35 plus the trade in assistance which was another 5k. My dealer had my first truck for 27 or 29 days and 4 times for the vibration issue. The only way GM will give the assistance is for the dealer to have the service records to support how unhappy you are. Its frustrating... Trust me I went through more than most of you guys here and being patient and respectful helped me more than the truck being a vibrator... The dealer is your best friend..

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
