I also have a real bad vibration under hard acceleration. Real noticeable with a trailer hooked up. Figured it was normal. I'll let them know about it when it goes in next week

Hopefully it helps! Unfortunately for us I feel like all the rebuilding and messing with our truck has messed it up beyond repair. Now when we drive it feels like something's just going to fall off. I can't even drive 30 min on the highway without feeling like I just want to jump out. Edited by Bdkfl

I had a small vibe over 70 and I was just going to ignore it. It wasn't as bad as some of you guys' vibe.

 

My dealer just replaced my steering rack since it was making noise while turning. Now my vibe above 70 is awful.

Precisely why I haven't taken mine into the dealer, I'm afraid they'll start throwing parts at it and make a slight vibration a terrible one in the process. Lots of posts about vibrations moving around after repairs was at 45 now at 70 was in the seat now in the steering wheel and so. 2 years of this and gm still doesn't have a fix, what a joke. This was the first gm product I have bought in over a decade, switched because of poor quality control I guess nothing has changed, hopefully Toyota gets up to speed technology wise on the tundra. Probably more American labor in the tundra than my Mexico built sierra anyways.

I actually looked into a Tundra as opposed to this Sierra. I just can't get over the overall package; I feel like GM has done it better (aside from my vibration). Same goes for my issue with Ford. With Dodge I like, aside from the exterior styling. We will see if I get into a second Sierra soon....

I never mentioned the vibe to my dealer. I have aftermarket tires, wheels, and level/lift, so I assume they would blame it on that stuff. Plus it wasn't that bad.

 

I agree that changing parts is only going to make it worse. This is my first ever GM. It was also made in Mexico :(

For anyone who thinks these are joke posts, you are completely wrong. Completely.

We're not saying all them are wrong just quiet a few members with less than 10 posts makes you question if they really own one of these trucks or not

We know someone that just bought a Sierra SLT Z71 last week and has less than 1,000 miles on it and went down to Key West and felt the vibration. First thing she did was start googling.

So Someone new buys a new S/S has the vibration, does a search which leads them right to here, registers and voices their concern and you think somehow they aren't telling the truth.

 

I dont own a new s/s(and going on 200 posts), but I drive one at work that has the problem, should I not post here? Am I somehow wrong according to you?

 

I guess post count is the determining factor.

Just went to my Chevrolet dealer to drive another truck. Took a 2015 CC with 20s and thing shook the crap out of you at 74. We took it back and we asked the salesman if he'd drivin it at 74, he said no he only got to 70. Went in told the manager that at 74 it was jnbearable(seriously, no where near as bad as the GMCs we drove) and he said it's probably time we buy something else. Then proceeded to tell us he'd bet us $1000 it wouldn't bother him. WTF. You don't say that. Because you're on. My Husband said lets go and of course he didn't have time. I looked him straight in the eye and said "yes, it will bother you". We will NOT be returning to that dealership to purchase a vehicle EVER.

 

Edit: it had 31 miles on it when we took it.

Let Chevrolet know how you were treated by one of their dealers. I assume you are working with a case manager, I would absolutely pass that type of experience along.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
