Yeah i remember my first visit i made it clear i knew what was up. They said that this was the first theyve heard of it. Then after visit 2 they mentioned that a month before a guy lit them up on their service review for not fixing his vibes. So they played dumb and lied to me about never seeing or hearing of another..... this is why i hate Domestic automakers and their dealers. Deny lie deny lie deny. Until your out of warranty then oh yeah you issue is x or y and it will cost thousands to fix and will take a day. In warranty deny lie deny lie deny

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

This whole situation upsets me so bad. If i was to bring a 95 chevy into the servie department for this same issue they would rape me in diagnostic time trying to figure it out. But since gm already paid there engineers there part on designing this rattle trap and they dont wanna pay all the warranty time then there gonna come up with this excuse of it being within spec and that theres no issue here?! Another thing that bothers me is how much did gm pay "car and driver" and other vehicle review company's to say that this truck didnt have any vibration issues and it was in the top 3 trucks.. Gm needs to make things right. Also i wanna know what it will take for all of us customers to put a class action suit against gm.. We need to make some major moves and not let gm get away with insulting us with lies and bullshit about vibrations in a $50k truck is normal.. Even the buy back program is crap. We shouldnt have to buy another truck or test drive a ton of trucks to find a non-vibrator if gm buys our truck back. We should be able to wipe our hands clean and go with another brand. Or they should pay the difference of our trade in..

I started that process a couple weeks ago. I live near Boston and contacted a firm who has already hired "experts" and has their top level class action partners looking at it. I pass information along as I find it, and speak with them 1-2 times per week. I spoke with them this past Friday and passed the apparent TSB from a few pages back along to them. They are currently still doing research, testing, and waiting on the report from their "experts" I suspect that I should have a better idea of where they stand and what we will be doing soon.

 

If anyone would like to be added to the contact list I am sending them, PM me your name, email, and phone number. Even if you've already gotten rid of your truck, we still can use your case, and possibly recover some of your loss (assuming they feel we can go for that, I still don't know)

Went and test drove truck with service manager just now. Crazy how when you drive it and point it out they all of a sudden feel it lol. Said tire balance won't be covered under warranty so I told him I'll pay the price (90 after discount he gave me) and if it's still there I'm not paying it. Then he said if tires (s) are too far out then he'll do a prorate on the tire. Feel like they'll have my truck for a while and still not get it right. I've been looking at multiple different 2500s between GM and Ram already lol

Yes

then anything done to stock parts to remedy the issues should be 100% covered under warranty, I wouldn't give them a penny to do what GM is supposed to pay them to do

This. Service manager said tires have a 12 month/ 12k mile warranty. He did say if one is out of spec he may be able to prorate it. He definitely wants me to be happy he's just trying not to over stretch his bounds

the link doesn't work, but being that it is what GM is saying to do as a cure for the vibe, and seems to be their SOP, I wouldn't pay especially knowing many people have had the vibes come back even if it fixed it for a short time

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
