Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no motor mount recall. A newer tsb for loosening the the mounts and adjusting the motor then retightening in a specific sequence is available. It is possible that a tech called TAC and was given a new motor mount p/n but I haven't heard of that yet.

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

Hey guys. Just wanted to throw in my two bits. I was having major vibration issues on my truck at certain speeds sometimes at 50km then 80 and 110km. I had discussed with the dealer about this and they had looked everything other on a couple occassions and told me nothing was wrong then finally one of the service techs had come out and asked me if I would be interested in trying out different rims/ tires on my truck (looked like he had a theory in mind) so i did. I originally had the 20's on the truck and we had swapped for the 18's instead. similar diameter only approx .37" difference. I drove the truck right away after the swap and no vibration. been driving it for the past two weeks this way and still have not come across any vibration. I had made the dealer buy my 20's back off of me and give me a credit to keep the 18's. The mech had said that he noticed a lot of the trucks that did complain about vibration had the 20's on them and he figures something is off. Either way I am just putting in my story of what happened. For others here on the site that have further vibrations issues I hope they get solved and if I here more then I will post it.

When I started this post I thought I might be the only one, and know body will believe my thinking I was just trying to stir the pot. I had know idea if others where having issues. Sadly I never thought it would have turned into this.

Man , You could churn butter in that thing. I have only had mine on interstate maybe three times. Not as bad as yours. I can see the bottle spinning. :omg:

but that's normal, just the way trucks are supposed to ride

 

GM designs its vehicles to ride that way, everything is normal

 

every single truck on the dealers lots drives and vibrates the same way so its normal

 

why don't we accept it when they tell us this :bs:

 

great video and mine does it about the same at times and sometimes not as bad

2014 Z71 2WD

 

i have the vibration shakes like everyone else and i bought a new set of rims 17" for the stock tires, same shake. Took it to the shop i bought the rims from twice and no better. I then bought new rims and tires 22" and shake still there at 35 to 45 and again at 74mph. Took it to the dealer and they noticed it and gave me a rental for 5 days. I went back and they said the problem was my aftermarket rims and tires. I also felt it in the rental. Tried to put up with it was a couple weeks but driving me nuts.Called and talked to the service manager, he said there is a know issue but no fix. He then said he wants to check my rims and tires again and put stock ones on and see if it still shakes. really!!! So i made another appointment but not for two weeks. He said they are very busy with other recalls. Plus he is getting the regional service manager with some vibration detector.

I also noticed that there are no 2015 1500 silverados out yet at least around here, is GM making sure they are ok or anyone else know?

Has anyone that has this issue on a 4wd tried to drive it with the rear driveshaft removed to test for the vibration?

Thought about that last winter. Never came up with a way to seal the output shaft of the transfer case.

i'll say this, I don't drive a lot. my truck sits on the driveway for a week at a time and sometimes it goes a month without being driven. I mostly use the car or motorcycle and the truck gets used mostly just for pulling the boat and this has been my pattern of truck use for nearly 35 years.

 

that said in the entire 35 years I have NEVER had any vibration or feeling of flat spots on the tires, if there was any it was so negligible that it went unnoticed completely.

 

I will concede there might be the possibility of ever so slightest of flattening of the tire from not moving in a while but this it corrected before you leave the driveway with a few revolutions of the tire. I had my truck parked in the driveway for 8 years and never moved while recovering from health issues and when I finally took it for a drive the tires were perfectly smooth as always even though it needed new rotors and brakes from rusting in the driveway. if flat spotting EVER had a chance to be a problem then I think after 8 years it would have occurred but it didn't so I dismiss you notion with the concession that it may occur at some small minor unnoticeable level that cant be noticed or detected or used as an excuse for causing vibrations

 

the ONLY type of flat spot you would feel in the tires is if it gets dry rotted and harden that way and this type of flat spotting never goes away.

 

the notion that a brad new tire can have noticeable flat spots to cause it to be felt when driving is laughable on its face and insulting to anyone who has ever owened a motor vehicle. maybe someone who just fell off the turnip truck might believe such malarkey but as a wise man once said "don't pee down my back and tell me its raining"

 

 

I can feel the crosshairs of a liberal nut jobs rifle scope on me at this very minute lol.

This right here, I deploy 6-7 months at a clip, my vehicle doesnt move during that time, not once did I ever have a flat spot issue in 11 yrs of deploying

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      By fm2176 · Posted

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
