Dropped the truck off at the dealer for the 4th and final repair attempt. Truck also has 30+ days in service over the previous 3 repair vistis. Truck was purchased new in late November 2015 and today is March 22, 2016.

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 contacted GM today about my issue as well. Same thing as everyone else, new tires and multiple road force balances. Purchased truck in Oct 2015 and has vibrated since the day I drove it off the lot. Everytime I bring it in the problem gets 80% better for a couple weeks and then is back to the heavy vibrations between 75-80 mph. Dealer keeps giving excuses like "the weights must be falling off the tires" and things like that. Hopefully the executive support will be able to help me so I don't have to get a lawyer involved, but it seems like that might be the only course of action.

I am thankful my dealer quickly went past wheels and tires, they have seen enough that were not corrected from RFB. New ring and pinion, still being road tested by them to confirm repair.

I received a new 2016 yesterday (ordered new not from current dealer stock) to replace my GMC 2015 6.2 4x4 crew cab that vibrated since I bought it in Dec 2015. My 2015 has been at the dealer since Jan 5th trying to resolve the vibration. They tried wheels, tires, replaced ring & pinion, replaced shocks and are trying shims for the engine next. I'm glad that truck is gone. The new 2016 does not vibrate at all for now and the transmission appears much smoother than the 2015.

 

Thanks to everyone that takes the time to post what's happening with their trucks on this forum. It helped me get through the last 3 months.

Well, it looks like the new transmission, 4x4 transfer case recall and motor mount shims DID NOT fix my highway vibration above 60 mph. It rode much better at the lower speeds.

Since my truck STILL vibrates and is on it's 4th and final attempt he has ordered some special tires.

Nope, I had them on my first 2014. I had the rims and tires installed on that one before i even picked it up. That was the one with the squeaky dashboard that they couldn't fix.

I would like to thank this forum for saving me $33,xxx + on a 2014 Silverado.

 

I read this last night, stumbled upon the forum by accident.

 

I was going into the dealer to buy the truck today.

 

I test drove a 2014 Silverado LTZ, accelerated it up to 76 mph and sure shit...the vibration was there.

 

I asked the dealer who was riding with me if he could see my hands vibrating on the steering wheel and he could.

 

I drove a 2016 of the exact same model and no vibration...so again, thank you very much! If they can find one for me I will be buying one this week.

Yes, this is my first post. Thank you, again!!!

Just be cautious, there are some that don't vibrate for the first 1500 miles or so. And there are more than a few 2016's with the issue here.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
