Shake or Vibration Issues

Jesse Davidson · May 17, 2016

I hope this all blows up in there face. I may go and park my truck at a Chevy dealership this Saturday or Sunday. So people going to look at these trucks can read my back window on the way in to the dealership. And maybe they will second guess there thoughts on buying a Chevy. I drive in to Boston Monday thru Friday I am in the traffic in the morning and at night. There's a lot of people in traffic that will read that my truck is a lemon.

hahaha, well you can't park it on their property, but infront maybe. I drive from the south shore to Boston most days aswell, but I am able to miss the worst of the traffic so I can generally go at a pretty good speed. however since my truck has multiple speeds that it vibrates/ shakes at I just about always have it.

Well, C6Bill, you read way more into my post than I put in it. I did not state nor infer that he shouldn't be allowed to complain. Actually, I was merely jesting with him about being able to afford a 2016 LTZ on a soldiers pay. But heck, maybe he's a Bird Colonel, trust fund baby, married well, who knows. None of my business for sure but on the other hand I do enjoy exercising my 1st Amendment rights, politically correct or not. How about them apples, lol

Wow talk about reading between the lines. I responded to exactly what you typed.

"here you are complaining about your $55,000 2016 LTZ Z71!"

And yes I read this part too

Not being critical. I think you guys earn every cent you're paid. I'm just amazed, that's all!

Isn't that kind of like me saying "you are a dick, no offense intended" ???

No offense intended? Hell, boy. Why don't you man up and say what you mean and own it? Yeah, I can be a Dick, been called a lot worse, lol! Btw, I've never come across any Army dudes who refer to themselves as a soldier. Just not the way we talk.....

Fixed for the western PA folk ;).

My truck is still vibration free at 4100 miles. I've been watching it closely though.

Back on topic. Truck are way too big to be used as vibrators.

New to the site and been watching this thread for quite a while. I currently have a 2014 FX4 F150 (don't hate me). I really want a Sierra All Terrain SLT...every time I see one on the road I stare like a stalker. My F150 has been virtually perfect and I now have 37,000 miles on it. This thread is the only reason I haven't traded for a 2016 Sierra! I keep waiting to read that the vibration issues are fixed for new 16's or at least that the issue is found and all vehicles will be fixed. What the heck GM...I want to buy one of your trucks!

polarys425 · May 18, 2016

Yep, looking to see if GM will correct their terrible mistakes.

Don't worry, Ford has plenty of their own as well. Time will tell if you're lucky or not.

deanno33 · May 18, 2016

Curious if there is a particular model combination that is most prone to the vibration issues? Crew Cab vs others...5.3 vs 6.2...Z71

/All Terrain vs standard suspension?

^With the amount of turbos, gizmos and whatnots in the F150... I want to see how they hold up to 300k. They have the carbon build up also on the intake valves. I give Ford props for what they're doing, going hi-tech bug most trucks are used for business. In business it's about $/mile and not breaking down. When the ecoboost came out they had the inter-coolers collecting water and bogging the engines down. Not sure where that ended up. And the new '17?+ Ecoboost is to have electronic controlled turbos. Like my 335i BMW. 6.2 please.... so much more simple.

Deanno33- problems is widespread on configs...
