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

All you have to do is send them the link to the vibration thread along with some video links from youtube! Give them your short story on what you have experienced

Wish someone knew a US Rep or Sen that was against bailing out GM. Or a 60 Minutes reporter

This ^^^ is why there's little to no chance of any media outlet picking up this story and running with it. GM is basically a gov't owned entity now and IMO the gov't will ultimately control what the media reports and what they don't. Big gov won't shoot themselves in the foot on this one folks. My thoughts are we can all pretty much forget about this becoming a main stream media issue. And we are left to deal with this issue ourselves. Again this is just my opinion and we all know what opinions are like. : ) Edited by cato

GM paid everything back that they borrowed from the govt plus interest

Curious why more people are not taking advantage of the BBB. We have seen what they will do for you at not cost to you. Why not take advantage of that ? If my dealer wasn't already doing MSRP trade assist for me I am sure I would be speaking with the BBB. And I probably will if I go through the same issue with my 2016 when it gets here, unless my dealer moves me to a 2017 after that lol

If I didn't need my truck for work I would be back and forth to the dealer but I need it for work so I have to work it around my busy schedule. May just trade it in and be done

I ain't got time for a second job lol. I don't wanna take another chance with another k2 gm truck. I'm not giving up on them, but for right now I think it's in my best interest to look into a Ram or Ford 2500 (heard the gm HD k2 have the same vibe issues as well)

Didn't know that. So then the gov't has no hand in GM whatsoever now?

My bad. Apologies.

 

Now it makes me wonder why doesn't the media pick this up and run with it???

 

Thanks

A buddy of mine got his 2015 2wd 5.3 CC silverado a couple weeks after i got my 2015 z71 4wd, he already took the offer to have the truck exchanged based on engine vibration and got a new 15 2wd 5.3 identical to one he originally purchased. I am glad to see our local dealer is willing to work with him on that.

 

I will be taking mine in next week, My 2015 silverado z71 4wd 5.3L has 2200 miles and it has major hesitation speeding up from 45mph to 65mph. Once it finally downshifts to 5th or 4th gear it will get up to speed. When it goes back into 6th it will make a loud clunk sound you can hear and feel in the cabin. I am able to replicate this every time. Dealer wont take in for service till next week.

 

Anyone else experiencing that this transmission problem ?

Hmm, I wouldn't say that. The gov't has their hands in everything, from CAFE to safety to emissions, from NHTSA to DOT to EPA at the very least.

I just bought a 2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ. It has 1100 miles on it and I am feeling the EXACT vibration in the steering wheel, pedals and floorboards that you are. My dealer said they have never heard of this issue before and recommended I let it "Break In" or "Learn" before I brought it in to get it diagnosed. I will wait until my first oil change before I get it diagnosed, but from what I have read here, this is an issue that GM has not resolved yet.

I also get the "Clunk" sound when the truck shifts when I am getting up to speed quickly, but I cannot replicate it everytime.

You're good bud. And I wouldn't say the gubment doesn't have a say in what gm does. Probably told them to make the trucks shake and vibrate [emoji23]

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By Texasdeere · Posted

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
