First of all, not " my mechanic ". Second of all, if you read what I wrote, you will realize I said he never diagnosed my vibration that we are all having.

Of course I wasn't poking fun at you. Just saying that is the typical B.S that that we have all heard from these tech's. I guess it sounds serious when read. I just hate using LOL. Its only a little sarcasm. I just can't believe he threw out the overhead cam, and push rod line. Except for the 87ish Corvette engine I can't remember GM ever making an overhead cam motor. And that was actually a marine engine design. Cant remember, been a while. And small block push rod V8s will be running long after we're all in the ground. Its all this AFM and V V T crap screwing everything up. If you had an old design small block pushrod V8, with modern head technology, and fuel injection. These things would run forever. Sometimes less is better. And all engines have to be balanced, either internally or externally. He was just B.S.ing you like we've all been done. :cheers:

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

When he mentioned the whole balancing thing I knew he was bs. In the end, although he explained more than anyone else has before him. It didn't matter because I had already ordered my new truck and this one is a goner ! Tundra TRD PRO can't wait till it gets here!!

So my truck is in for the fourth visit. They had done the new drive shaft and angle shim try. This actually made it a lot worse. So i jumped in my dealer paid rental and left. Today i got a call, and they explained they retested the tires for road force. One of the tires had a high road force and was to be replaced as soon as it came in tomorrow. Hmmm. My very first visit for this whole ordeal, they tested road force, and all were good, except one. One was high, but "within specs". Now its no longer within spec. Wonder when they changed that. This is getting rediculous.

stop being a dancing monkey for them and file lemon law

 

they just string you along until you give up and live with a defective truck or trade it in at a loss so they will continue this dance until you file

I am guessing there is still no fix for this issue? I have had the same issue with my 2014 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab LT ever since I hit around 8k miles. I am now at 12k miles and have had my truck in the shop 5 times, at two different dealerships, still not fixed. At the first dealership, my tires were replaced because they were "out of round", my drive-shaft was replaced, checked my alignment and road force balanced my tires. After none of this worked, the dealership concluded that the vibration was within GM's "quality standards" and there was nothing else they could do for me. The second dealership said they had a new "vibration sensing device" that was sent to them by GM to detect issues such as this. After running their tests, they road force balanced my tires and called it a day. This is my 7th GM truck and I have never experienced such a rough and annoying ride quality, this truck drove like a Cadillac when it was first purchased.

 

Has anyone tried filing Lemon Law for this problem? This will be my next step and if that doesn't work, I will be selling my truck and switching loyalties.

 

**Update**

I traded in my shaky 2014 Silverado last week for a brand new 2014 GMC Sierra SLT. They seem to be willing to work with me on my trade and I was happy with the new truck purchase.. Seven days and 400 miles later, the 2014 GMC Sierra is shaking just as bad as my Silverado was..(steering wheel vibration between 40-50 mph and seats shaking from 70-80mph). I have contacted the dealership as to what they can do for me, since I have barely had the new truck for a week. I will report back with what I find. I have a feeling I will have to go Lemon Law this time.

 

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS ISSUE IS ALSO HAPPENING ON THE 2015 MODELS?

I would assume so, I don't think they changed much on the '15s.

If you've really been in four times, I'd say go ahead and lemon law that bad boy. It's obvious they ain't gonna get it fixed anytime soon.

OK here's a good one. Drove home from work two days ago in my truck which has never had a single vibration problem in its 1350 miles. At about 35-50 miles per hour and about 3 miles into the drive, it started. It got really bad around 50 mph to the point that my outside mirrors were shaking from the vibration. It didn't matter what rpm I had the truck at, but did diminish as I slowed down under 35 mph.

 

Got home and went to put the parking brake on and noticed it clicked once and came back up! It appears the brake had not completely depressed when I started out the trip but it was up enough that the parking brake indicator light was off and I had zero noticabke drag or slow down from it being just slightly applied until I got to my hill in my neighborhood and could hear the rear gears kinda clunk from the slack when I let off the gas. The brakes did smell a bit once i got out but only the rears.

 

Took the truck out on errands today and made sure the brake completely depressed, zero issues or vibrations today all day! Now I'm not taking away form anyone's claims of faulty vehicles but this seems like it could happen rather easily and the symptoms are identicle to what is described here. It could be possible that the parking brake may be at fault for some people's vibration issues. It could be sticking or not completely depressimg when released. Just a though and may be worth looking into

      I have an unused GM Authorization code.

      By s10dragracer888 · Posted

      As the title suggests, I have an unused General Motors authorization code for a set of bed perimeter lighting lamps that I bought. My truck was built with the option for perimeter lighting, and they worked without programming… So now I just have this code. What is it good for now? Can anyone here use it?

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
