If I take the offer, I will be trying to switch to sierra because I don't like the new look of the Shakerados.

Go for it, you might get lucky. But a new truck can't be worse than what you already have? At the very least, a newer truck is better trade bait than your current one.

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

Take the new one and drive it right to a Ford dealer and trade it in, don't wait for it to start vibrating. That is if they actually do build it for you. That is what happened to me, full trade assist and then GM just won't pick the order for production. The order just sat in the system for a couple months until i gave up and walked away. In my case it was just another stall tactic by GM. Hope it works out better for you.

no idea, good question lol, could save me alot of money

 

I think the most messed up part is how all those trips to the shop don't get reported. The shake must not get passed on. Somehow the VIN needs to get tagged.

I say go for it Jesse and go for the buy back , even though it hurts me deeply to say that . But I would definitely test drive a few to see if there shaker/vibrators .if any vibrate I'd pass and go to the lemon law . You've got them offering a buy back now so you've got that on the bargaining table as far as there admitting the issue .

Good luck man and keep us posted.

 

 

With that being said I couldn't be happier since I traded mine in . It was like a breath of fresh air and enjoying my new Ram for about year now that seems to just keep getting better . No rattles no nothing and that hemi is impressive as hell .

Love it love it love it !!

Update. After 3 weeks of my truck being in the shop and 3 trips back to the dealership where they put on new rims and tires and said the problem was fixed then i test drove it and said i will not accept my truck back in this condition they found of my rear axle is 8 degrees off. they ordered shims to correct this issue and we will see in a few days if this fixes my vibration issue.

Yea, thats kinda how I'm looking at it. Either way, I'm still terrified of getting another vibrating truck.

theres a thought lol. If they don't put it into production pretty quick I'll just file lemon law.

Unfortunately there is no law requiring anything to be reported. Anything you see on a carfax or any other report is what was submitted voluntarily by the shop.

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to go this route.... maybe a 2017 6.2 Denali won't have any issues :crackup: .... it'l cost me a bunch of money, itll cost less than what I'd lose trading mine in now though.... or I could get a 2017 SLT fully Loaded and pay nothing.... what to do, what to do

That's a tuff one , I think I'd go SLT just incase you run into any issues . That way if the unspeakable happens you won't be loosing as much .

Don't think I'd be able to step up that much after my Experience to take that big of a gamble rolling the dice .

I've lost all my trust and loyalty to GM unfortunately .

Second thought more like Fortunately [emoji12]

I agree that I likely wouldn't lose as much, should the unspeakable happen, but that being said. from all of the research I've done, the Denali seems to have the least number of reported vibration issues..... so pairing that with the 6.2L would be the least likely to vibrate.... and it would be work a lot more than the SLT just because it is the Denali.

Totally understand and those are all excellent points you've made [emoji1303]

It looks like the vibration saga continues. I traded my truck 3 months ago for a 2016 Ford F150 Crew Cab 5.0L 4x4. It was the best move that I have ever made on a vehicle given my bad luck with GM. I will NEVER own another GM product in my lifetime nor will my son or daughter (their decision) after seeing most of my problem vehicles.

 

-1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera - Infamous factory paint defect blamed on acid rain

-1995 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab 2WD - Bucking and jerky engine when warm (61,000 miles). GM lead mechanic told me to trade it when it was running good after 5 failed attempts to diagnose and fix it on my dime.

-2001 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab 2500HD 4WD - Lemon lawed and bought back by GM despite making every attempt to discredit my case. After they lost the ruling, I was contacted in a last ditch effort to replace the engine so they did not have to buy it back.

-2015 GMC Sierra Crew Cab 4Wd - Traded after attempts to fix the vibration issues failed and GM was not interested in finding a solution or admitting a problem.

 

Here is my solution:

 

2016 Ford F150 Lariat replaced 2015 GMC Sierra SLT

 

I wish you guys the best.

Been a while since I have posted in here but religiously read post's every day... May 2015 is when I noticed my SEVERE Vibration with 3500k miles on it... After a Tire Balance (LF was 1 1/2OZ off) and rotation in June 2015 my vibes were gone... I have been following thread because I am nervous to rotate tires again... Well now the truck has 10,200k miles on it and tomorrow, 06-18-16, I am getting the Free Oil change, 27 point inspection and TIRES ROTATED... Has anyone had their Vibe issues return after a Tire Rotation?

After my final repair attempt, I took my truck to Sullivan tire to have get everything checked so i could have proof in arbitration. I also had them rotate the tires to test that exact thing. I can tell you if they are balanced properly and the RFB numbers are about equal, you won't notice much if any difference.

 

***EDIT***

if your tires are not truely round, and they have a hop to them, rotating them may make a difference, as would if the rim isn't round

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
