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.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
