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

So what is your advice for those who are serious about buying a new GM truck? Cross their fingers and hope that for $ 45k they will get a good truck that does not vibrate?

Well another week without my truck :nonod:

 

It's not the Dealers problem it's a GM PROBLEM in three day's the GM engineer had spent

with my truck, I or the Service Director really have no clue as to what Mr. engineer

did or anything as far as an idea as to what's causing the vibration issue :mad:

I just got my truck back on Monday, VIBRATION FREE!!! Ive put just over 150 more miles on it (760 on it now) and no problems. I will say my dealer had recognized a problem with the vehicle and kept me informed with how they were going to fix it. They had to put some mileage (60 miles approx.) on it to run the Vibration Analyzer on it, which didnt make me too happy. Im just glad they repaired it and did it whithin a reasonable time. I wasnt happy that this happened right out of the gate from purchasing the truck BUT Im glad they were able to FIND AND FIX the problem.

 

They ended up putting a new ring, pinion, bearings and yoke in the rear diff. The truck drives smooth as glass now and I couldnt be more happier. This is how a warranty repair should be done. Out of all the posts Ive seen on here Im surprised at how many people havent had the same luck as me. Im glad it didnt go the way so many here have had it. Thanks, H!

It has been 6 weeks in the shop and the dealer has run the list of parts. I filed another BBB claim 3 days ago and today I began negotiating a trade. If you get any BS from the dealer go on-line to the BBB. GM has responded within 2 days and both dealers involved have JUMPED on the issue.

My local dealer is now saying they won't trade outside their own network, another call from GM should fix that.

Their network? Tell them you want to trade for a Ford. Can you get a buy back so you can buy what you want where you want?

If the vibration does not return in the next 10k miles i will believe that they fixed it.

Hi Guys, I bought a 2014 Silverado double cab z71 back in June. I First noticed the vibration about 3 months ago but it was very slight. This was only around 45 mph. Now the vibration starts at 45mph and goes to about 65. I have my first appointment with the dealer next week to look at the issue. Does anyone think it could be the passenger rated good years that cause the problem? I have read on a few other forums that LT tires reduced if not fixed the vibration. Im tiring to gather up as much info as I can before I head to the dealer. Thanks for the help

yet you are here on this site making light of the problems these trucks have, so by your own admission you don't know what you are talking about.

Son, I've been comming to this site off and on since a few months after this place was created, I've been a member of this site thru 4 GM trucks i've purchased and owned, each with their own set of problems, GMT-800s, and GMT-900s, yet there is always someone like you who pops up every once in awhile and cries and cries and cries about how bad their issue is and all that crap about paying $40,000+ for a vehicle and blah blah blah. Was I happy when I had issues with my trucks? No. Was I mad at GM? Sure. But when everything was said and done, it was my choice to purchase the vehicle and accept the concequences of doing so. Having annoying little things that pop up that may not be easily repaired, or even repaired period is one of those concequences. The only thing I am making light of are the cry babies like you who keep on crying and crying and crying and crying foul this and foul that and woe is me and all that other stupid childish crap. Give it a rest already.

  • Hold the drive pinion stationary and move the ring gear back and forth.
  • Repeat the measuring procedure at each tooth around the ring gear.
  • The difference between the backlash at all of the measuring points should not vary by more than 0.05 mm (0.002 in).
  • If the difference between the backlash at all of the measuring points varies by more than 0.05 mm (0.002 in), inspect for burrs, a distorted case flange or uneven bolting.
  • If the difference between all the measuring points is within specifications, the backlash at the minimum lash point measured should be 0.08-0.25 mm (0.003-0.010 in) with a preferred backlash of 0.13-0.18 mm (0.005-0.007 in).
Checked it last night, measured between .005-.007". Had 1 tooth that was right at .008", the rest were right at .007" or alittle less.

Thanks for the advice.

So, you dont even have a dog in this hunt then. No 2014 silverado with or without problems?

 

Just couldnt resist coming into this thread and sharing your dissenting, uninformed, opinion?

 

To what end? Argument? Conflict? Are you a troll?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
