I don't drive mine anymore. My wife drives it 14 miles a day until I get somewhere with this. Sad, but I just despise this whole episode.

Answer from service director was...I noticed the other crew cabs on the lot have this same vibration. I will notify you of I see a technical bulletin.

 

What a crock of dung!

 

So...he basically told me to pack sand without any further diagnosis.

 

Last GM vehicle I will ever own...period.

I'm a few days late on a call back from my dealership too. It's very clear that they dont have an answer and dont know what to say to me when they do call back...or when I call them asking whats up. They really should still call back.

This will only stop when GM engineering and corporate management decide to get involved. I would have thought, given the waterfall of recent GM recalls announcements as they have their post ignition switch come to Jesus moment, and all of the associated bad press and pending legal costs, that GM who we all know follows this forum would have stepped in to help us by now. At a minimum let all of us owners who have documented our vibration problems thru GM dealerships, the peace of mind to know they have our back. GM why haven't you gotten involved? Until they do, it's in all of best interest to make sure as many people know about the vibration problems plaguing GM's re-designed truck as possible. GM where are you on this? Where is the customer service rep from GM who hasn't been heard from on this post for the last 130 pages of GM customer complaints (Stephanie was it?)

Where has she gone? GM where are you? I actually pulled into a Ford dealership last weekend with my 2014 6.2 SLT...The Ford staff must have gotten a good chuckle watching me look over the F150's on the lot...not to worry, I'll be back. GM do you think any of us with vibrating trucks are going to go quietly? Not happening.

YOU KNOW THEY'RE READING EVERY POST...

 

Maybe we should call or email NBC and see if they'll interview a few of us and make this a national story about how we're getting blown off and how they can't ride on the highways. You know that with all the press on GM, it's a hot topic. Tell them to go to dealers lots and test drive em and see for themselves that its not just a few isolated cases. Maybe their engineering department will get off their a$$e$ when they see their sales drop by the thousands and Ram take over their market share because of this story. I feel terrible for all of you still dealing with vibes... Maybe if enough of us go to local and national news press, it'll become a priority when it affects sales. Sites like Edmund's, motor trend, Autotrader, cars.com, and even nhtsa are great places to express your feelings towards your trucks. Public negative reviews kill sales more than you think and GM knows this. Post on Chevy's Facebook everyday about your vibrators and see how fast things get moving.

Not NBC, nobody will see it. I believe I am having the same issue. Have yet another appointment Thursday for the recall and to check this out. Went to a local Chevrolet dealer and they drove it. Said it seems to drive just fine. Seat shaking at 78 mph fine.

 

3 Sets of Wheels

2 Road Force Balances via Road Force Hunter GSP9700 (So I am pretty sure its not wheel/tire issues with 12/12/12/10)

How about NBC and Fox. All of our local stations, every public forum we're members of, its time to really start making this public. Chevy's Facebook team won't know what to do. After everything they post, state how shitty your truck has been and how many times its been back to the dealer.. let others see. If we all keep up on it something will happenn faster than u think because their sales aren't exactly through the roof even with upwards of 8k discounts on these things.

Start out on Edmund's. There's already a post on there with a guy and his vibration saga. Let's add some more, and comment on his as well.

    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉       
    • I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
    • Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.      
    • About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was. 
    • Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.
