Funny how the GM folks have abandoned this thread, and calling GM customer service is a complete waste of your time.

 

funny I was thinking the same thing last night. So when I called GM numerous times it was like they were reading answers to me.notice most of these people you call know how to drive a car and that's about it. Maybe the front from the back but they are working a job and doing what they are told to do! They are just waiting for the weekend.There's a song there somewhere! LOL. Edited by WLC

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

Would driving wooden wedges between frame and body parts help isolate the problem? Just a thought.It would be nice if someone found the problem and this thread dried up!

Now that people with 16's are reporting the same issue, I doubt the thread is going to dry up. My truck was $54K, another $1K to have it right wouldn't have deterred me from buying it. But after going through this I will never buy another GM product, and I am sure I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Where are these reports of 2016 Silverado's or Sierras vibrating ? I didn't think they had hit the streets yet, do you have any links ?

Yep...That's me. My car is back in the shop for the 3rd time this week. My dealership has been fantastic - they are realists and know that it's not their fault it can't be fixed. They have a GM field engineer on site and I hope to hear something today or tomorrow. I picked up my XL Denali on 9/15. I have reached out to approximately 10 automobile rags/online review sites and started a Facebook group to try to get even the slightest more attention on this issue. I need this space and love the truck - otherwise I would have tossed the keys back to them after week one. I am also very thankful that I leased it so, worst case scenario, I walk away after 3 years and don't take any hits financially on how they will depreciate, especially once the market becomes more educated on these issues. I did have a guy reach out to me from my inquiries asking if anyone was in LA, Detroit or Vegas so that he could drive one. He has contacts at GM that most don't and I had really hoped someone would have raised their hand. I will keep everyone posted.

But does anyone know of any reports of issues with 2016 SIlverado's and Sierras, the claims that the only changes are cosmetic are they factual or pure speculation ?

Ok. A follow up to my vibration issues. I brought my truck in on Monday night. I received a call Tuesday morning and I was told that I had two tires that were way out of the allowable range on the Road Force balancer. They had to order two tires. They received the two tires this morning. I got a call this afternoon and was told that these NEW tires have the same issue. Now they ordered two more. I told them to order six. Maybe they'd find two good ones out of the bunch. Then again, how long will they stay good. The tires weren't like this when I bought the truck (7300 miles). The problem just became progressively worse. If this keeps going I may have to trade the tires in on a "better"set.

 

"Precision made" truck with cheap, sub-standard tires. Nice. Really helps the reputation.

 

FYI: The tires are Continental CrossContact™ LX20

Tire Size: P275/55R20

Yeah for sure, but stuff like this means that the problem is becoming more known they have obviously recognized the potential to make money. The whole problem with GM coming up with a fix stems from the fact that most people are unaware of it until they experience it for themselves and start searching the web which hasn't affected GM's sales. I thought about getting a billboard right by one of the dealerships posting the web address for this forum something like. "Thinking about buying a new GM truck?" check out this forum first or do a web search for "vibrating silverado". If you can't put pressure on the manufacture to fix the issue perhaps the dealerships can. It all comes down to money, affect their ability to make it and they'll do something about it, especially in the light truck market where their highest margins and most profit comes from. Where I'm at the Chevrolet and GMC dealership are right next to one another, different owners.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
