19k miles, front tires out of round and wear on inside rib only.

When they change out your tires, ask them to look at the camber. With only 19K miles, sounds like your wheels may have too much negative.

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

A toe out condition will also cause excessive wear on the inside of the tire. If both sides are wearing more on the inside, then incorrect toe may be more likely, as camber would require both sides to be off, whereas toe is a single adjustment and will affect both side equally.

I, too, can vouch for the vibration issue with the 2014 Silverado. Like some of you I didnt test drive the truck at highway speeds. I noticed the vibration as soon as I got on the highway headed home but it wasnt bad enough to turn around. After a couple days of it I started looking online to see if this was normal and I found this thread. It's been a little over 2 years, 68k miles, 2nd set of tires, numerous trips to the dealership, and the problem is still there. Each time they give me the same excuses of "can't duplicate it" or "its fixed". At first they kept telling me "its a truck, it will do that" or "well you have the 20's on it so it will ride rough". Yeah, especially compared to the Acadia I just traded in for this truck. But it still shouldnt ride like a tank. I've ridden in 18-wheeler tractors and H1 Hummers that rode like Caddy's compared to this truck. I've talked to co-workers and friends who have the exact same truck and they all love theirs. It's been long enough. I cant stand driving this thing anymore.

 

I am bringing it to another dealership to try some of the things i just read about in this thread and see if they can resolve it.

BBB granted my repurchase. 3 visits, 4th and final repair, and an attempt AFTER the 4th visit. 52 total days out of service.

 

The process was smooth, and easy but it took a while to get to this point.

Or, like myself - it sucks but nothing is going to ever happen. Learned a lesson - if you buy a vehicle and it has a problem, immediately start with the lemon law and don't take "no" or "GM is working on a fix" for the answer. I have about 18 months for lease to expire and I am going to trade in on 99 Wrangler because after this my guess is the Jeep will feel like a Cadillac.

Well after going back and forth with GM a bit via email, I accepted a trade assist offer contingent upon the approval of the full compensation of all accessories and warranties on my truck. It will not cost me anything, and I am just waiting for the updated offer letter now. Still very nervous about another GM, and don't know which one I'll be getting. H*ll may even go straight to anther Brand and dump it with 40 miles on the clock, still havn't decided that yet.

Over 600 pages and climbing, so I am sure this post will get lost.

Just an FYI, I just mounted a set of take off tires and rims from a 2016 on my 2001 Sierra. It now has that harmonic vibration above 65 MPH. Tires are balanced, its more of a harmonic vibration, not a tire out of balance or a bent rim.

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado that did the shake. I stopped the shake when I took my 4 wheel auto off and put it in just 2 wheel. The 4x4 drive shift was trying to engage when accelerating when it was in 4 wheel auto. No more shake she runs so smooth.

I believe there was a transfer case recall for the 2014's. You might want to look into that.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
