Shake or Vibration Issues

I've never heard 15 lbs ever, thats half the industry standard

The Michelins that are now on my truck meet the 15 lb spec. My truck no longer vibrates. The tires were replaced under warranty. It has been mentioned numerous times in this thread, sometimes by me, that this is the spec for these trucks.

And that was my question, if GM specifies a specific tolerance that is in excess of industry standard to meet warranty - I believe that they have to supply the product free of charge....

In my case warranty covered it all. The crap Bridgestone Duellers were sent back to manufacturer and Michelin Defenders were installed because they are a very good tire. I drive my truck every day 130 kph smooth as glass. I think in my case GM realized it was cheaper to buy good tires over buying back my truck.

The Michelins did nothing for me except look nice. Still vibrates.

I also had it tuned, 2 new rear ends and a new drive shaft. so it was more than tires on mine. I'm just glad mine was finally fixed. It also has been said on this thread that there is more than one cause for this vibration problem.

Last post for me about 2014 Silverado. My nightmare is over. History, 3 different sets of tires and 1 set of new rims = vibration and shaking 95% gone however since that was fixed I've been thru erratic idling like miss firing intermittently, crunching in the front end when going over bumps, harsh slam shifts 2nd to third gear. Non of which the dealer has been able to fix. My truck has been in the shop at least 20 times and only 30,000 km's on the truck. I'm am done and traded it in on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma DBCSB. Never buying a Chevy, Ford or Dodge ever again. Losses are 2yrs of payments as I have to start over again. Oh well, good by Chevy go die at the Levy....Hello Taco....

Last Night I bought a preowned GMC Sierra 1500 and today I noticed the rear left part of the truck vibrates. I was going to take it in to the dealer tomorrow. I have the remaining balance of the warranty transferred.

What should I tell the dealership tomorrow?

Take it back. Bitch about it. Hand them the keys. Live a happier life. Trust me. Bought mine the same way. Poop storm fighting to get it fixed as it is. Certified Pre-Owned should have a 3 day / 150 mile satisfaction guarantee. Dump that truck, get a new one or something different entirely. Edited June 10, 2016 by severado

Toyota may be owned by the Japs but a large portion of our trucks are assembled in Mexico. Remember the Alamo? Vehicles are global and have been for years. GM and Ford are building factories in China and India. If they were such great American companies then they would assemble all vehicles here in the US and employee more Americans but they don't. I'm all for supporting American manufacturers but on the flip side they should do their part to support American workers. How can foreign owned companies assemble some of their vehicles here and employee American workers which in turn spend their paychecks in their community businesses which in turn spend that money etc. while American owned companies choose to assemble their trucks in other companies and send them back here to be sold?

The Tacoma has more US/Canadian content than the Silverado/Sierra. 60% vs 45%, respectively.

Buying American isn't what it used to be.

It hasn't been for a long time. It's funny how Japanese and germany car makers moved and opened plants in the usa and American car markers moved out..

First post here. Long story short, I've been following this thread for about 6 months, as I've got a shaker. Dealer does the usual, tires tires tires. Today I removed the rear drive shaft, put a bag over the transfer case output to catch most of the fluid that I knew it would sling, drove a couple of miles at the worst speeds for my vibration (45 and 65), and observed the vibration to be completely absent with the rear drive shaft removed.

 

I just finished refilling my transfer case, and am now thinking about where to go next with what I'm telling the dealer. I'm thinking it might be related to pinion angle.
