its literally 74-76 mph in the seat and arm rest, speed up to 80 smooth, drop down to 72 smooth, 70 smooth, 74-75-76 vibrates wierdest shit I ever seen

Have you noticed if its worst with a full tank of gas vs 1/2 tank. Mine vibrates between 76 and 82 with 81 to 82 the worst but with about a 1/2 tank of gas its very little vib and I carry about 300lbs all the time.

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

Mine did it exactly from 20 to 30 mph . Wouldn't do it before 20 or after 30 . Before I got rid of it I was starting to feel it on the freeway periodicaly " the harmonic sound and vibration"

It had about 6000 vibrating miles when I got rid of it .

The local dealer is practically giving Silverados away today haha

Is the sign vibrating to make new owners feel at home ?

2015 Ram Quad Cab 4x4 Hemi

Had it since July and loving it , so smooth and good power. I get between 16 and 19 mpg in town and around 21 to 24 highway .

He replaced his with a RAM, I went Tundra. But most of the members who have opted out have gone RAM. I had only one option as RAM and Ford are too tall for my garage.

If I had to replace mine today would be a Tundra. Just a good proven truck only dislike is the fuel mileage.I came from a Tundra and had no problems at all just liked the looks of the Sierra and the 10k off the sticker. Toyota is behind on style and options but they stick with a design that works and want change the Tundra until 2019. If its not broke no need to change it.

We need to get organized and maybe take a trip to Chevrolet and get media involved. Nothing will happen till it gets out there....

There are links on mine and Jesse D sig. lines ;)

The Tundra is a great Truck and I think you made a great choice to . I've had almost every truck over the years and have learned they all have some skeletons in there closet . The objective I've also learned with wisdom is to try and pick the one with the least scariest ones and unfortunately GM has one in the closet the size of King Kong with 10"fangs and they can't tame the beast lol .

It's a shame because other then that lol it to this day is the sexiest truck on the market in my honest opinion "Looks Wise"

Agreed, I'd say they are 5 years behind in the electronics department but it is a stable platform. And I have been getting 16.4 MPG around town so I am happy with the fuel economy. It is in the same range as the 6.2 SIlverado I was driving.

Trust me, if they could have gotten me one that drove like this Tundra I'd be all over it. I love all the little bells and whistles but the vibration was a deal breaker.

Yeah I'm with you but with that being said I'm beyond happy with my Ram .

What a great truck it's so much fun and enjoyable to drive I look forward to driving it every chance I get . The complete opposite experience I had with my Silverado. Every time I drove it I seemed to have a form of road rage even if there was no one on the road lol because the truck made me so mad and GM .

Does anyone have an idea of many owners have the abnormal vibration problem on this site/thread?

Not bad at all on the mileage.

Shakes/vibrations definitely a bad problem for those that have them but no one really knows how wide spread keeping in mind that hundreds of thousands have been sold.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
