do you mean corroded? I'm not seeing cracks, or am I just missing it?

Yeah I know the pictures not great but the rubber bushing is cracked pretty good.

Ok, I see what you're talking about. I just checked mine, they look good at 12,500 miles

Got outta that headache. Didnt wanna waste time fighting GM, so cut my losses. I will never buy another GM product. Ive only driven gm trucks since i was 16 in 1988. Never again. I get a new truck every few years and GM will never get my business again. Wife has a '13 suburban. When it dies we will go ford or toyota. Im really liking this platinum. Just picked it up today. Im sure it could have some kinks. But drove it home 40 miles. No shake and the ecoboost was pulling 19.5 mpg..

I find it even more disturbing that there are so many 2015 Chevy/GMC trucks on dealership lots with low miles. Majority are GM Certified Pre-Owned. We all know that many are pretty much buy-backs/trades that were moved from one dealer to the next.

A friend of mine just picked up a Ford last month and loves it, he was going to buy a Chevy because of the deep discounts. I advised as to why they were so heavily discounted.

Nice truck, the new f150's have grown on me the past 6 months or so. The thing that hasn't grown on me is the ecoboost motors. I personally would have opted for the 5.0, but in reality an HD truck is really more suited for my needs. I'll wear this truck out before too long

Update, today I took it in for an oil change and to have them look at the vibration and suggested they check the u-joint torque. The service manager and I drove around for half-an-hour and he said and I quote.. "Uhh.. you have an issue with the rear-end, sounds like the Ring and Pinion by the whine.. we had had quite a few issues as of late and if the ring is bad it will cause this vibration you have so we are gonna rebuild the rear-end, good thing you have a loaner.. and btw.. we are gonna re-check the tires too and shocks and struts as well"

 

Sounds like they are at least taking it all seriously.

 

Will update when I learn more.

 

Follow-up

 

Yep that was a waste of effing time, talk about a load of horse-shit! they keep the truck a week and all they do is balance the wheels and tell me once again "different tire this time" I have an OUT OF ROUND TIRE that is so bad that RFB'ing can't balance it and since I scrubbed a curb with my tire it is not covered under warranty and if I want it fixed I need to buy a new one.

 

oh and yes.. they put the tire on the right-rear again.

 

$250.00 is way too much for a GOODYEAR Wranger SR-A 18" tire.

 

Oh and I need to setup another appointment to look at the rear-end?? I don't think GM gives a shit about the quality of their cars and trucks or the quality of their repair dealerships.

 

I should NOT be having theses effing issues with a 2105 Silverado 1500 with 29,000 miles.

Just like longhorncop, I fixed my Chevy Shake issue too. The last straw was a horrible ride back home from a job 3 states over. After hearing ice smash against the sides of a cup filled with soda so loudly for about 5 hours, and the faulty bluetooth, it was done. The truck had to go, and fast.

 

Something is clearly wrong with the 1/2 ton GM trucks. Mine was a regular cab short box. Everything fell into place to dump the truck - and I did without hesitation.

 

Dealership opened early on Sunday and the 150 mile trip was strangely enough very smooth with the Chevy. No idea why but I don't care about it any longer.

 

For those lingering with a Chevy Shake truck, dump it or get GM to buy it back but buy the replacement from a different manufacturer. RAM, Ford and Toyota make great trucks. Check them out - they make great trucks.

The Shakerado will get plenty of shop time all over the country. Once there are enough lengthy repairs and buy-backs someone at a GM or third party shop will find the real answer.

My truck is going to another dealership this week since mine wants to deny there is a problem. I also love how the GM customer service representative here went silent on me. Don't pay me lip service, pay my truck note until it stops shaking. No accountability.

So I found out from a friend of mine that either someone at GM or at one of the 2 dealerships I've had service at, has put a note in the system that I am a "aggravated customer". Well no shit GM lmfao

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
