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

Well there you have it then, problem solved, everyone posting in this thread with vibration issues is just "super sensitive" or full of shit. All the buy backs, trade assists, and replaced parts were for nothing, just a bunch of super sensitive overgrown cry babies.
Why come to this thread just to tell everyone they are full of shit, last I knew to be a member of this forum there is not a requirement to post in this thread.

So if my problem is that I am super sensitive to vibration did I just happen to find a cure on my way to the Toyota dealer ?

Damn I tried the Toyota fix, even went with their premium brand Lexus. Now I have 2 vehicles that vibrate. Be right back , I have some service appointments to make! I should not be feeling the road in these vehicles it's unacceptable! /sarcasm

 

I guess you guys took our comments out of context. Of course there is a vibration issue with these trucks nobody is saying there isn't. We were talking about the people that drove 15 GM trucks and said all of them vibrate, yea ok buddy. I drove a few when shopping and none vibrated. You are either super sensitive or have the worst luck in selecting trucks.

I have a 14 Silverado 4x4 1500 w/20" wheels. Vibration feels the worst at 65 till 72mph.

I have complained about it since new. They have balanced and rotated at every service. They have road force balanced also.

at 21,000 they replaced 3 of the tires. Same issue took back they replaced 2 of the 3 they had just put on. Before they called me they replace one of the 2 they just put on.???? maybe it's not the tires.

They ran it with a Peeko meter? I was told it's within specs. I call Bulls t! They had me come in after I told them that the 2, 16 models that they loaned me were not like mine.

They took the 18" tires and wheels off the loaner and put them on mine. I drove it with the tech. It was still there. Maybe not as bad but didn't come in till 80-85mph on the dash. They told me they would not do anything else to it. that speed is above any posted speed limit therefore GM was out!. I tried to explain that smaller wheel and smaller tire caused speedo calibration to be off, therefore to duplicate the same condition it would show faster than it was going. They argued that and said that they would not do anything else to it. What can I do? I suggested a different brand tire, driveshaft or shocks. I have seen posts on here from Jennifer at GM. who do I call.

I bought and have had it serviced at Jim Trenary Chevrolet in OFallon, MO.

It should be better with a $50,000.00 price tag

Thanks

I just thought of something. When you guys are getting tires replaced, especially if they are changing one and two at time, is GM shaving the new tires down to match the diameter of your other tires? Just curious because it could create some differential issues.

Something to consider, might not be your fix but it was for me. Good luck.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Z45 · Posted

      Very often the part number on the trim part is just for the vendor order/assembly plant and will not show up in the parts system.  They won't make a bunch of extra parts that were not ordered. Keep in mind, lots of these parts were made to be "just in time" parts meaning they were dedicated to a vehicles ordered and sequenced for assembly.       Also, trim parts will often say, paint to match.
