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

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

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.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
