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

Aggravated by the Shakerado. Keep up the good work.

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 can just imagine what they have about me on file LOL. I am picking up my truck tomorrow after a week and a half. New tires for me. Basically that will mask the vibration some until the tires wear down again...When I can financially get rid of this truck without a huge loss...she's gone.

Must be an epidemic LOL!!!!

 

Glad its not just the GMC's! We can suffer and vibrate together!

 

What's really interesting is the very first posts on each thread. Read them both and tell me if your poop detector starts pinging. Mine sure did....

Thats scary.... maybe we all need to go tundra lol

Loved my tundra... Never should have traded it in. The 12mpg kind of sucked, but knowing what I know now, I'd gladly take that truck back... Shit I'd pay to have it back!

A 3-4 year old King Ranch F150 is looking good right about now honestly. At least I wouldn't be surprised if something comes up.

I would pay to have my 2011 Silverado back. Flawless.

New dealership service says I have a bad tire (replaced under warranty) and my tires are out of balance. Even though tires were road force balanced last time. I'll see if anything changed later today.

Is the shake/vibration issue predominantly in the 1500's or does it affect the 2500's as well? I'm asking because I'm in the market for a Silverado 2500 Duramax. Are the 2016's better than the 15's or should I wait for the 2017's to come out? thanks for the replies. I do understand that not all trucks are affected by this issue.

There are a few reports of it happening to the HD trucks as well but not nearly as widespread as the 1500's. That could also be because the fact that most people don't need an HD truck so frankly there are fewer of them plus most HD trucks are company trucks and 99% of those guys could give two shits since they trash em anyways

Be aware, the 2016's do have the issue, the 2017's will also likely have the issue, I suspect that there wont be any change until the next redesign which is supposed to be for the Model Year 2018. The HD trucks do have the potential to have the issue, but it is no where near as common as the 1500. there is actually a thread on here dedicated to it. I'll edit this post shortly and add the link for you.

last post is from October, so I seems to have died down, not that it was all that big to begin with in the HD trucks. Ive driven both the 2500 and the F-250, IMHO the F-250 rides much much better, if you care about that.

Got my truck back. New tire and balance felt way better. The first thing I did was push it to 70 mph on the tollway. Ride was pretty smooth up to about 68, then the console and passenger seat shook hard right as I reached 70 up to around 82. Then it settled down. Service guy tells me they couldn't have balanced the tires at the other dealership. All 4 were completely out of balance. Sad it has to be this way. Apparently GM is short on good mechanics.

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?

      I went to the county a few years back to dispute my property taxes. To do that I hired an appraiser and a lawyer. The County Assessor wished to argue that the homes in my neighborhood the appraiser used were all 'distressed properties" and not representative of the "Market Average".    My response was," Of the 50 homes in our subdivision 43 of them were "distressed properties" under bank foreclosure and as such "Distressed IS the market". Lawyer about choked on his coffee and handed the Assessor the 'receipts'.    I won that case on the evidence provided by the Lawyer and the Appraiser.    We have the same thing going on here. My statements were based on the GOVERNMENTS NATIONAL DATA and yours on local markets in areas of your interest. They are both correct....   Thing is, this divergence was based on NATIONAL and not on LOCAL. I think you even understand that. But like you said, we are both stubborn and hardheaded.    I do not see any advantage to disengagement.  But that said we can step back to compose ourselves.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Trust me I appreciate the comments and concerns. It's what I was looking for to help me evaluate the situation and what I want to do. I have decided to move forward with the BORA hubcentric slip on 3/8" (.375") with the extended lugs nuts. Fedex says they should be here Monday :). Meanwhile, the dealer got the remote start and Patriot spray in bed liner done over the last couple of days. Also, I installed an inline stop/start eliminator today. Starts back up in what whatever mode you shut it off in, so you don't have to hit the button every time you fire up.
