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

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

 

Your dealer is wrong. There are several states that have 80 MPH speed limits. Idaho, Utah maybe Wyoming and Texas. They are just looking for an excuse but at least you can make them find another!!!

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 ?

Funny I switched the other way. The Tundra is a nice truck but it's more "car like" in many ways. Engine and drivetrain are pretty much unchanged since 2007. Snappy acceleration but no torque for towing and a bias to run lots of R's that kill fuel economy. Toyota does a lot of things right but don't have the truck part figured out yet and they do very few rolling changes unless safety related. My "16" GMC handles better, is faster, quieter more advanced electronics and torque approaching that of older diesels. And bigger motor better fuel economy.

But quality control the T wins hands down. My Tundra and my Lexus didn't need many dealer appointments so it's a crappy trade off!

I really did like that 6.2 with Borla exhaust combination. And yes, the 3.92's do hurt the gas mileage of the Tundra and the electronics are a good 5 years behind the times, but the bluetooth streaming works great. And I really like the blind spot and cross path monitoring, I couldn't get either of those on the Chevy. And there is the whole not vibrating part, i really wish GM could have delivered a truck, to me, that didn't vibrate. I gave them 3 changes to do so and they couldn't, But Toyota did on the first try.

 

But the world is full of trade off's, or in this case trade in's lol

 

Hope that Denali works out for you, it's a beautiful truck

Service manager called. Said to come pick out a new truck. He received a email stating that this morning. Also said after I decided on a truck the numbers would be worked out. Not getting to excited about anything yet. Hopefully we're talking Msrp for Msrp. Nobody could answer that for me. If not, I have no choice but to go lemon law. Got mine for 25% off and I went over budget. Msrp was $51k paid $41,500 out the door..want the exact same truck if I go this route. That was the whole point of buying it in the first place (my dream truck) was the deal! Salesman is looking for one as we speak. Update soon..

Actually, there's a 41 mile stretch (hwy 130) around Austin that has 85 mph speed limit. Seems to be working ok. I've driven it once but was towing my 25' TT so wasn't driving anywhere near the speed limit :)

GM would not do that for me. I jst went to the dealer and got all my prints out of all my service visits. I have a freaking book with the print outs.

 

Im just tired of GM I wish I never bought this truck. I really regret it.

It does feel strange to be driving that fast legally (I lived in Austin).

I doubt you will get an even trade, Gm will factor in the miles you have put on your truck...

Update to my previous post. My dealer has replaced the ring and pinion in my truck which got rid of low speed whine. After driving it for a month I took it back for the vibration. They kept it a week and tried a few different things. One of those was to get a new GM tool for checking the pinion angle I'm thinking an angle finder. They ordered a shim kit and raised the pinion which I am glad to say has fixed my vibration. I drove the truck for a week before commenting to make sure it was fixed. I have taken it out and hammered the crap out of it. Driven it to 95 mph, no vibration. I recall reading in this thread somewhere a gm mechanic stating something about the shims.

Was the axle housing shimmed up by placing the shims between the housing mount and block to tilt the housing up to give the pinion the proper angle. This ran through my mine a long time ago. The mounts on the axle housing could be welded on alittle off on the trucks that have the vibrations. Some people have said there vibration was lessened when weight was added to the rear which changes the pinion angle. Just my thoughts.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      By fm2176 · Posted

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
