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

Laura M must be the equivalent of our disappearing Jennifer here on the GM forum. Lucky Chevy folks still have someone from corporate that still gives a damn about customer service. It appears GM And Jennifer have gone AWOL.

Drove to pick up my trifold soft tonneau. Smooth ride there. Installed tonneau, drove home, noticed a rear end vibration that wasn't there before. Thought about it while I looked out my review mirror and saw the wind flapping on the tonneau. Pulled over, folded the cover open and continued on my way. Vibration free. Wtf

Ugggh....and tonight my back up camera stopped working.

 

Same here. My vibration has also been changing. Now when I let off the gas, the wheel vibrates bad. I'm still waiting on an answer from my attorney. My next truck will be a Ram. GM has serious issues now and I don't want any part of this company right now.

Shudder, clunk, vibration,1-2-3-4 shift issues, and now unwanted neutral is all signs of lock up torque converter and pump issues.

I am still putting my money on this as the main culprit in this ongoing saga. The software update for the unwanted neutral is indeed for the transmission control module, by tweaking the software to demand better lock-up of the torque converter or tweaking the shift pressure to keep it in gear when engine rpm is low and torque demand is high, might be signs that the pump is loosing pressure (leaking internally) or faulty pump.

I have compiled all the info here, vibration, at 40-50mph, vibration starting around 70mph, 1-2 shift delay, vibration at idle, changing vibration with head wind and weather temp swings, and now unwanted neutral issue.

How is all this related to tires, or suspension!

Crack in pump or torque converter, or internal leaks matches these issues.

All our current transmission rely on electrical pulse to shift gears now, and pump provides the pressure to engauge and release lock up, and brakes electronically release pressure from pump when applied, some folks here also complained about transmission slow to release when braking?

GM knows the truth, and the fix is in the removal of the transmission's internal parts in my humble opinion.

I think you are right...my truck just feels like it is towing or under a load all the time with the transmission and especially in the wind.

The "shifting to neutral" recall is only for 4x4 trucks. It's the transfer case and has nothing to do with the transmission.

TCM is being updated. That is transmission control module, this is the brains for the transmission.

I don't trust what is told to the owner from GM....remember Toyota no hardware/software issue there until the dead were counted by lawyers.

I do belive this is a trans issue also. If you think about it, nobody that has had this specific issue has been successfully repaired with a tire, rear end, or drive shaft fix / replace. Mine shakes at it's worst when in cruise control, which would point to a trans pump pehaps? Or torque converter? I dont wish to be a mechanic or engineer...I simply want to drive my truck and not think about stuff like this. GM has e-mailed me back and said they're gathering more info and talking to the dealer and that I'll hear from them soon. Lets see what they'll do, I hope they can restore my faith here and get us all fixed up so we can all get some resolution and start enjoying our new trucks.

When I took my truck in for the recall on the relocation of the coolant line they also updated the TCM and the ECM. I didn't realize that was a required recall. After they did that my vibration was 10 fold worse. It was tolerable before the reprogramming. My truck has been in for 2 weeks while waiting for and now installation of my new ring and pinion. Getting close to my threshold of toleration. Remember, this is my 2nd truck. About ready to just ask for my money back and go look at Ram or Ford. Getting damn ridiculous. Edited by Chappy 1901

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
