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

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
