Someone needs to remove the tires from the wheels, put the wheel on a hub-centred mandrel, and measure the radial and lateral runout with a proper dial indicator, not the measurements that May or may not be done on the Hunter RF machine. I don't trust that stupid little arm that the Hunter machine uses. And when we see that every tire vibrates on these trucks, including totally different make/model of tire, I can't believe every tire manufactured is defective. It's too preposterous to believe. Gotta be the wheels. Or the hubs. Or the hub-centric fit is too loose.

 

Has anyone put aftermarket wheels on? Hub-centric or lug-centric? Result?

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

Sounds like a case of bad wheel balance.

I finally had enough of my vibration and 2 different dealers not wanting to fix it or even attempted to fix it. Always got the whole "it drives like its intended too" so I traded it in on a new truck.. Sad day it was because I really like the truck a lot!

I really hate to say this, but as an update as of tonight, my truck is fixed. It just sat at the dealership for a week, and they finally called me and told me to come pick out any set of wheels/tires off any other truck on the lot and they would swap them for me. I hate saying this because I know it's not the fix for most guys here, but my truck rides completely smooth, like you're on glass up to about 95mph, even with cruise set. I stuck with 22" wheels, but ended up picking a set of the black ones that look like this:

They look good, and I guess they work a lot better than the chrome ones I had.

I also had these on my 2014 rally edition (we had the dueler ATs - maybe that's the difference) and GM bought that truck back. The truck was smooth until first tire rotation and that truck turned into a nightmare. I second rotating the tires just for the heck of it. I'm glad to hear you have no vibrations for now though - I wish I could say I've felt that :/

That's pretty shitty. My dealer offered me a month's payment for all the trouble I'd been through to date, and they felt it was fixed. Didn't accept anything yet though, since mine still vibrates after 4 attempts. What also sucks is that if you do get a new truck, the maintenance is cut in half and the warranty is now only 60k instead of 100k.

Yeah - we did not accept anything and told them we don't need help paying our truck otherwise we would have never bought it. We want it fixed or bought back. I'm not taking a third truck from them. This is it.

My other wheels had the ATs too...

Lucky you! Im close to a buy back with GM, then I will be looking into the F150 or Ram. Would love a Tundra but they are a bit pricey!

A few days ago when I got upto about 76mph the vib started and got worst at about 82 on a new smooth paved road about 70 miles from where I live. Was going today to have the tires balanced and decided to do some testing before I went. Got on a smooth got upto 70 and on upto 90 and no vibs. I tried it many times could not get it to vibrate. The outside temp today is 60 was 78 when it had the vib. Who knows I still wonder why the crew cabs don't have a swing bearing on the drive shaft I know ford and toyota have one.

Congrats ! I think your going to love it as I'm loving mine I also traded my 14 Viberado in for 15 Ram 4x4 Hemi .

Absolutely love this truck and I keep loving it more everyday unlike with my GM it got to the point I Hated driving it and was frustrated every time I drove it . It's a shame because it was a beautiful truck but that vibration killed it .

This Ram is like riding on glass and this Hemi is impressive on power and mpg . I'm actually getting just under 20mpg in town but I did put a Magnalow exhaust on it .

Anyway congrats again and don't worry your going to love it !

It's like coming out of a abusive relationship and your guard is high so just relax and enjoy it .

I remember when I first got my Ram I was on vibration alert after being tormented for a year in my Silverado .

This Ram is like a breath of fresh air and look forward to driving it everyday !

How did you make out on the trade in ????

LoL well it's like I told my X you can't put a price on happiness

Trading in my X and my Viberado was probably 2 of the best decisions I ever made .

I actually got a great deal on my Ram didn't even feel the hit on the trade .

I feel for you guys that are still in the process of trying to get rid of there GM truck because most other dealers/manufactures know about the vibrating issue that 2014 and up GM trucks have and there going to make you pay dearly the longer you wait because are going to be aware. It's pretty sad GM won't recognize the issue but other manufactures /dealers are sure aware of it . Very very sad for all the loyal GM truck owners !!!!

It looks like GM is not working hard to find the problem,all we have to do is sit and wait for a solution. I think im goin to trade my silverado with a f150.

The service manager keeps telling me 'they are waiting on a good rear end'. I am not sure exactly what that means.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I have a hard time seeing oil from 'below' the rings 'pooling' in the cylinder. For an amount great enough to pool getting past the rings I would expect to see that same amount contributing to other noticeable symptoms, low compression, blow by, etc. You could try investigating for a stuck, gummed or carboned up ring, maybe an oil with different detergent strategy. Some other shade tree solutions like adding a detergent (or mystery oil) to the chamber and letting it sit, I've also heard of a heavy use of 'engine braking' to load the rings differently.   I would first be looking at oil entering from 'above' via a head issue, or intake/PCV issue. I suspect that the oil is entering cylinder 8 combustion chamber at all times but is getting burned off during each combustion event preventing a 'pool' from forming and lessening visible oil burning smoke. This leads back to valve stems or PCV system as the only route for oil to enter the chamber from. I would expect a PCV issue to not be isolated to cylinder 8 though.   Other considerations, how long does it take the pool to form? Could you look for the oil trail via the borescope? (Run the truck, shut the engine off, as quickly as practical, pull the plug and insert the scope and record to see how long and hopefully where from.)

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.
