did we definitely determine if the 2500s have this as well? I debated buying a 13/14 2500 when I got mine (and oh how I now wish I would have), and if I get out of this one it will almost certainly be to a 3/4 ton of some flavor.

 

They are waiting for a new rear end 'to be built' I think is last I heard from service mgr. Whatever that means.

there is a thread for the HD trucks about the vibration. it doesnt seem anywhere near as wide spread though

This may be the case because I don't believe GM sells even half the number of HD trucks as 1500 trucks.

 

I believe it is a combination of motor and tranny mounts as well as body cab mounts. More or less the cab mounts.

 

The HD trucks have had the same frames and drivetrain components since 2011 and never heard of any issues until they put these new body styles on top of these frames

I believe you are correct with the sales numbers, I was merely answering the question by saying that there was a related thread.

From what I have read someone should to create a google doc/ excel type spreadsheet so we can try to see if a certain combination is more likely to create this issue. I think there needs to be many fields. Like what size rims, tires, diff ratio, engine, tire size, build date, what speed is the vibration, what is the fix, owners notes, etc.

First thing this morning, I take my 2015 Silverado LT CC in for the fifth time for vibration issues. They plan to go back to 20" wheels because they blame the 22" wheels. You can see my history in my previous posts. One other time I had it in the shop they gave me a truck to drive and it drove just fine. When they blame my complaints on the road conditions I kept telling them that the loaner truck you gave me didn't vibrate on the same roads. This past weekend my son was in town with his 2007 Sierra that I bought new, it now has 145,000 miles on it. I drove it on the same roads and even it with bald tires rides much better and does not vibrate. So the kicker is they gave me a loaner today to drive and it has 100 miles and vibrates really bad. what the heck is going on?? Is Chevy really that bad now? Are they trying to show me that this is the new norm? Wow, if it is they will be out of business soon. Just not acceptable to me that a truck with 145,000 miles is a better riding truck than a brand new $40,000 truck. We will see but I really doubt that the 20" wheels will make any difference. Vibration Frustration continues.

I have an appointment tomorrow with the service group. I want them to concentrate on the steering wheel vibrations that 2 sets of tires and countless RF balance will not fix. I want them to look at these:

1. Front shocks suck - feels like no dampening in them I feel every road imperfection

2. Possible motor mount needs shimmed or is loose

3. Anything else you would suggest????

Anyone know if the 2016's have this issue?

The 16s are the exact same as the 14 and 15 MY's with a redesigned front fascia

The problem will be fixed when GM runs out of defective parts to install on new trucks.

It could just be a bad run of parts ......

Update on my situation (2014 Rally 2 edition). Ive been going back and forth with GM and the BBB and GM asked for one more chance to fix it saying they would put their regional engineer on it. I dropped my truck off to the dealer this morning so the GM eng can take a further look at it. I get a call a few minutes ago and the GM eng thinks the vibrations are cause from the exhaust system lol. I didnt put up a fight when they told me that but in the back of my mind I know there is no way that will fix the issue. Regardless, the truck is getting a new exhaust. Ill report back once I pick it up and test drive it on the highway but per our agreement if GM didnt fix it this time we would go to arbitration.

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
