My new 2014 Denali with 1000 miles on it does the exact same thing. This morning going to work, I look over at the passenger seat and my iPad almost fell off the seat until I grabbed it. What the hell is going on?

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

A representative I spoke with at the GM Business Resource Center, the department you are referred to after you call and complain to GM, admitted that they know they have a problem but that their engineers can't figure out how to fix it. At this point I think it's only a matter of time before the vibration causes the truck to fail resulting in a fatal accident. Hopefully I'm not behind the wheel when this happens.

You're telling us GM confirmed to you that the truck will eventually fail from the vibration and cause an accident?

 

EDIT: Never mind I misread your post. You stated that was your opinion. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry if there was any confusion. Yes it is my option and I really hope this doesn't happen but I don't know what else it's going to take for GM to fix the vibration problem.

Can any of you guys here get your hands on a set of wheels (rims included) that are of the previous GMT900 trucks and that are balanced. Put them on and go for a ride.

Did that. Plus a set of 24s that rode great. Vibration still exists.

You put a set of the older wheels on and it still had the vibration!?

This is a thought and not necessarily a proper fix. Does anyone who has a shake at 70-80 mph have any weight in their bed? These trucks are lighter than before and the frames flex more so I am told. I'm going to try 200-300 lbs of sand bags and see how it goes.

Trucks in previous years have had this issue of shaking on the highway as a a result of frame beaming. If you put 400-600 pounds of weight between the tailgate and the wheel tubs and the shaking on the highway goes away then you have frame beaming. If this is the case, then it is just a matter of time before GM redesigns the rear cab mounts.

Someone in this forum did the sand test about 4-6 weeks ago and it did not reduce the vibration. Give it a shot, who knows. Good luck!

300 lbs sand did not stop shaking at highway speeds. Guess we will have to wait for the new body mounts.

When I first got my Silverado it was winter and when I got out of work it would shake and bounce for the first few miles so I had the tires changed to michelins and now it barely does it and only last about a 1/4 mile.

The other day when I took off after stopping at a red light the rear end of the truck felt like it was walking for a second then it quit. Very weird feeling.

I do have a vibration in my floorboard and accelerator pedal however, I'm thankful that I don't have the shakes that some of you guys have.

With the vibration problems the majority of us are having at speeds 45-55 and 70 and above it has to something common to all models even with different options. Something I mention to my service manager was the power steering control module which has software and referred to as Smooth Road Shake Compensation. Its made up with different sensors feeding back to a module to computer, with bad information from sensors to module to computer could cause it to over react and cause maybe the problem were having.( maybe too sensitive )My service manager knew what I was talking about, but he has nothing from GM. So if we have anyone from GM reading this forum or any of our members know of anyone with connections to GM maybe they could have this checked out.( They might have to rewrite new software for our trucks)

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
