Balancing the tires got rid of 80% or so of my vibes but still have some. I believe in my case it is a combo of out of round rims combined with crappy tires.

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

Got mine back last week from 3rd visit (second dealer). Tech did the PICO and determined it's "in spec". He can't do any work that GM wont refund him for. He admits there's a vibration but blamed it on the cheap stock SRA's.

 

I'm gonna keep playing with the clamp location and maybe try some different tire pressures to see what combo I can live with.

I've had this exact same conversation with my dealer. $4k later I've got the vibration down to a minimum. The problem is once you feel it and know what to look for it's all you can focus on no matter how small.

FINALLY AFTER A YEAR OF FIGHTING AND TWO TRUCKS GM IS REPURCHASING OUR SIERRA!!!! This has been a long crazy road and we are finally free! For those of you who haven't seen our story - we had a 2014 Silverado rally 2 that shook violently. We agreed on a replacement vehicle and picked up our 2015 Sierra on September 1st. About 1000 miles in it started to exhibit the same vibration. After waiting and waiting we finally received our response. GM will be buying back our truck!!! WE'RE FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

My truck was a sluggish vibrating mess. On the advise of my dealer and unofficially GM tech support, I did a Diablo tune. Disabled afm, 87 octane with firm shift. Truck so far is working great. No vibration and I now love driving it.

 

There is no one source for vibration in these trucks. The factory ECM/TCM programming was the source of mine.

I'm very happy for you. It is nice to see that some people are properly treated when they have this issue.

Abominable, were you the person that was going to look for someone to balance the wheel on the truck so that hub and rotor were factored in?

If so, what were your results?

I have a steering wheel shimmy.

 

Last question for the crew, will a worn shock or one that loses its ability to dampen cause a tire to have excessive bounce. I think the answer is yes but:

Would it feel like an out of balance tire even though it might just be road undulations?

 

Coil springs on the front will pick up a natural resonance, some springs actually have weights attached to break up the resonance. If my shocks are worn (36000 miles but not leaking), it may not be able to stop the spring resonance by applying the forces against the spring.

 

I have a stretch of road in town that has manhole covers placed in the section where my right tire hits them.

It feels like the front end stutters over everyone.

 

I drive the exact same stretch of highway daily and to be honest some days are completely different than others with the handling

Properly treated In the very end but the process was a long hard fight. GM sadly tries to use ANY argument they can so that you lose. It's sad that I had to bring my 6 year old and 1 month old at the time just to show the arbitratior we're people and not another case. It's sad that we had to wait over a month for our decision on the case. Luckily, he saw through everything and ruled fairly!

 

 

Sorry I realized I posted with the wrong name earlier, this is the username that I posted all my experiences with :)

Im lifted so my u-blots were crushed on as tight as possible.

 

Just wanted to check in and see if the clamps are still keeping the vibes at bay. I stripped one of the clamps taking it off, so ordered another set and am going to put them on the rear like you have. I previously had them in front of the axle with not much luck.

I see on this forum some of our members are finding CV joints in the front with too much play. Will that cause a front steering wheel vibration?

These CV joints apparently meet the Chinese quality spec.

Well the dealer threw a bunch of parts at my truck and they said its ready for pick up. LOL

 

It was GM final attempt to fix this truck. Like the 6 times or so I took it in and they told me it was ready.

 

Lets see tomorrow when I pick it up and take it for a test drive. I'll report back.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
