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

Are the crew + 6.5 standard box having issues too?

Yes. Any cab and bed configuration, engine, transmission, gear ratio, trim package, etc. are having issues. Seems to be more prominent in extended and crew cabs though. There have also been reports of a few HD trucks that are having issues as well

yes, from what i have read and two of my friend's have that config with 6.2's both not happy but different vibrations than the rest of us complaining about. others in this thread have said their 6.5 CC have vibrations above 70 so it's again, something cumulative not a singular issue which is why WE ALL BELIEVE IT TO BE AN ENGINEERING/DESIGN FLAW that's why even when it's "fixed" it doesn't completely go away, just changes to intermittent and/or different load/speed noticeable

 

i have said it before i'll say it again... maddening... trucks are so nice, quiet, ride great at under 55mph look great and BAM cannot go on a hwy cruise.. the main reason we bought the truck is to have the full size truck RIDE we have become accustomed too having owned so many.. never this issue.. closest was a set of tires/wheels improperly balanced..

I was hoping the issue would have been fixed with the refresh. A bit gunshy to pull the trigger now.

I was also hoping the issue had been found. My 2014 Sierra has 31000 miles on it. At 25000 they rebuild the rear end put 4 new tires on a replaced the rear shocks. I can hardly notice any vibration but sometimes I swear I can feel it. I would call mine 99% fixed. However I believe there is one more missing piece to this puzzle. I keep checking in to see if it has been found.

 

I would probably not buy another 1500 GM until this issue is found. I will either go 2500 or go with another brand Or thoroughly demo a new truck and make sure there is no shake. All the loaners I were given had it too to a varying degree.

 

Good Luck guys.

Kind of hard considering mine didn't develop till 15k, and I believe that's the highest mileage on here. Mine is not as bad as many others on here, so mine could honestly just be tires. Need new ones anyways, maybe it will fix it. If not, I just spent money on tires on a truck I'm not gonna keep lol

Now that I'm thinking about it, people are having the same issue of varying degrees at different speeds. I wonder if something internal of the motor or trans is out of balance, like let's say the crankshaft possibly? As far as why it may come and go, you got me there lol

My thought was the torque convertor or inside the transmission.

But it could be any rotating part inside the engine or transmission.

If it was the engine or flywheel it would do it in neutral and rev the engine up.

So, 5.3's do it, 6.2's do it, 6 speeds do it, 8 speeds do it, Z71's do it, LT's and SL's do it, different gear ratios do it, steel wheels or alloys do it. What is common to all of these trucks? From the front: Wheel bearings?, cv axles?, brakes?, struts (springs anyway)?, Transfer case(?), drive shaft?, rear axles and bearings?, rear ends?, rear brakes and springs.? are six cylinder guys having the same issues? I am intersted to see what the non road test, wheels off the ground results will be. I know my suspension pics up every crack in the road so, i am willing to bet that anything could be causing this right down to buffeting the underside of the truck and transferring through the cab. but then, i am just guessing

yes, I have the V6 and have it too

mine isn't 2016, but i have seen a few reports of 2016's vibrating

Ok. So are we thinking the same thing here? Not engine, not transmission, but is a rotating component? Which leaves front and rear axles and drive shaft. Could it be amplification of a problem through the stiff suspension? I guess with all of the different vibrations called out, i will stick with the 65-80mph one lol.

 

Also, if it isn't in the steering wheel, can it still be in the front end?

      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

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      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.
