Absolutely. I also updated the group name to include MY 2014.

I requested to join, and noticed that there is nothing on there mentioning silverado or sierra, its all SUV's sh*t

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

And you know this for a fact ? You know exactly what was changed on the 2016s correct ? You are 100% confident that the ONLY changes were cosmetic.

I was at my Chevy dealer today. They had at least a dozen 2016's on the lot. I spoke with one of the sales people and asked a numbered of questions about suspension, engine, tranny, tow packages, etc and I was told that the 1500 2016 changes are all just cosmetic. Even the 6 speed is still standard.

I did drive a New 2016 HD CC 4x4 which was an awesome ride, no vibes at all. If only it wasn't $60k. I also drove a 2015 DC z71 and it also drove nice, well past 80mph and it was pretty smooth. It didn't have the petal vibe/buzz that my 2014 has.

Cosmetic & an 8 speed tranny

Oddly all the 2016's I looked at today, z71 DC's and CC's all seemed to have the 5.3 with a 6 speed.

I was specifically want to drive ones with max tow and tow mirrors and none of the 2016's were that and I ran out of time before I had to go back to work.

I think if the 2016 trucks sat taller they would look really good. Bet they look awesome lifted

I agree. Most trucks look better lifted, lol. One of the reasons I test drove the 2016 HD. That thing sat at a nice height.

My next truck is an HD. Love how tall they set, and most of the newer diesel, if babied, get as good if not better fuel economy than my 5.3L gas truck with much more potential

And back on topic after I got my free oil change and tire rotation today, oh they also did recalls on the rear brake lines and 4x4 transfer case reprogramming, my petal vibe/buzz felt worse. My guess is due to the tire rotation. They still say what I feel is due to stiff suspension/Rancho shocks and my larger Toyo LT AT2 tires....

I am proceeding with working with the General Manager of the dealership. He was unaware of the issues and we reviewed my service history. He visited several internet links about the vibrations as we talked. He looked astounded as he read the common list of repairs that were done with no fix: tires, drivelines, axles, rearends, etc. I felt very comfortable that he would manage this properly and he let me know that he is on my side with this and that it needs fixed or I need out of it.

 

He was also surprised that he had another open Silverado case with GM sitting outside his service department.

 

By the way I was told the PICO crashed when they were testing mine but they admit that something was definitely vibrating and there is no fix yet. That sounds like they gave up hope on fixing any vibrations.

 

I am not sure what deal we can cook up but may consider a Colorado to avoid these issues.

My 70+ vibes were cured after a rebalance and tire rotation a few thousand miles ago (now have 6500) and this is what fears me, the next tire rotation...

 

Good luck with yours and everyone else.

Has anyone tried mounting a GoPro under their truck to find just what exactly is vibrating?

 

This guy did it on his 65 mustang to find a suspension noise:

 

 

 

I had one, but I broke the damn thing on the Hot Rod Power tour back in June, I had the back open, the mount came off the windshield, and I knocked over my Dr. Pepper trying to grab it and the inside got coated with it.

I'm sorry but I find this extremely hard to believe, a dealer hasn't heard of the issue, these trucks have these issues reported for 2 years now. I hope it works out for you.

Another thing I noticed while looking at the 2015's and 2016's on the lot yesterday is that they all had 18" wheels. Even the "all star edition" package that seems to be very popular around here and most trucks had included includes 18" wheels where I swear back in 2014 when I was looking at trucks the "all star edition" packages came with the 20" or 22" wheels. I wonder If they can mask the vibes more with the smaller wheel and taller tire sidewall.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
