My exhaust manifolds look just like that and did so from day 1. My 2007 looked like that too. I wouldn't worry though pretty much all of the Ecotec engines look like that to some degree. It was never an issue on my 2007 and I don't expect it to be on the 2014 either.

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

Still dealing with all of the same. Truck is back at the dealer after they offered to replace the Goodyear's with Michelins. Got a call last night saying the truck still has the vibration with the new tires and GM wants them to RF balance the new tires??? Why would they have put the new ones on without doing that knowing all the issues we all have. So this morning I get a call saying that all of the new Michelins were out of round and spec and that they are ordering 4 more new ones to try. I cant understand why they have not taken one of these vibrators in to their tech teams and designers at GM to figure this out and issue a fix, makes no sense to me.

I have a 2013 so I don't have a shake issue, but, my frame and cross members is rusted much more than I would like. After seeing the pics above I was wondering if any of you guys have looked under your truck and have similar issues with rust? I did a google search and its all over the internet but I dont see it discussed here.

it slipped off the first page what with the long long list of many issues these trucks have going on with them but here is the thread for the people discussing having frame rust issues

Like Jay Leno would never, never, never turn his car over for valet parking (see Jay Leno garage Challenger hell cat review 9 mins in, funny), I would never trust a dealership tire balance efforts. Find a good tire balancing shop. I have bought many. many Michelins LTX and sports for the last 30 years and had only one tire out of spec.

Yeah no way 4 new Michelins are out of round and spec.

 

One out of round/spec, maybe and that's a HUGE maybe.

Two, I doubt it.

Three, no f*****g way do I believe that.

Four: Ok I'm on a hidden camera show right?

 

Michelins are probably the least likely tire on the market to be out of round and spec. The dealership is just stalling.

Or getting tires from a bargain basement.

For any of you with the high speed vibration - have you tried shifting into neutral well above the speed where it starts shaking, and does that change the shake at all?

 

Has anyone answered this?

Dropsix I did try the neutral thing and different gears (as others have) with no change in vibration..

Now I did just pick up the truck from the Dealer with the four new Michelin's and the vibration is gone, for now. It does ride nice and these tires should be OE on these trucks. One thing I noticed on the drive home was that they are very quiet compared to the GY's, which was a surprise to me because I thought the truck was real quiet to begin with. The only time I could really hear them was on concrete sections of the highway. I have had this vibration issue in the past and was taken care of with four new GY's about 4000 miles ago. Now it rides smoother than it ever has but I am obviously concerned that the condition may come back. Also the exhaust was replaced for the whistle condition which is now gone also. Also I did run different speeds up to 94 mph and did not feel anything or see the passenger seat vibrate at all, so fingers crossed.

Does anyone have this issue with factory 22" wheels?

I had the issue with 22" after markets. Went back to stock 18's had vibrations with the good years put on new hankook winter pike tires and I have no vibrations anymore. I consider myself lucky for the time being.

Just picked up '14 Denali with 8/14 build date and no vibration/shake after first 150 miles of driving. Want to thank you all for speeds/rpm to look for while driving. Hopefully mine stays that way and those with problems find a solution or other positive outcome.

Seems like the late build are vibration free. Have yet to see anyone with a late build complain.

. Thought I read somewhere stating some people having troubles with the 15s vibrating

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
