Actually I don't own either of them any longer, these are the new rides

 

 

And it was a 2014 6.2 High Country, it was the second 2014.

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
