Well everyone, I can finally say that my time with the 2015 Chevy Silverado has come to a close. I completed the paperwork today and picked up the 2017 GMC Sierra Denali, great to see you again Bill, funny how you were at the dealership next door. (Yes the mirrors are folded in)

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

My drive shafts have been checked and the runout is at or below GM spec. Spoke with the dealership and again will be having a GM engineer probably look at it soon. When I did visit a driveshaft shop he did mention that sometimes brake can hang up and cause vibration similar to tires being out of balance. Has anyone heard of anything like this? I've read the thread in almost its entirety and I don't recall this coming up. I have noticed that my vibrations can be worse when driving around all day but if the truck sits for a day or so the vibrations aren't as bad initially until the truck warms up (made this observation recently after starting to really track when I'm having problems). As mentioned time and time again my vibrations are worse between 40-55 mph and 75+, but the truck is almost never completely smooth. Only speed that I would say it is 100% normal is at 60-65

New to the forum. I bought a shaker! uhhh

I bought a 2016 crew cab 4x4 5.3 6 speed 5.5 bed sierra. It vibrated as soon as I got on the highway (10 miles on odo). I brought it back the next day and they replaced a tire and then said the vibration is within spec. I noticed it still vibrates at highway speed, but I'm rarely on the highway. I replaced the rims and tires with a winter setup and the vibration is exactly the same, so its not the tires

I went on a 600 mile highway trip last week and the vibration comes and goes at around 70mph+. Back to the shop it goes. I wouldn't have bought this truck if I test drove it on the highway. I can't believe gm would sell a truck that rides like this and the service dept says its ok! luckily I got it during the 20% off sale on labor day, so if it comes down to trading it in I wont take a huge bath

Issue has been present for 3 years now. How gm has not put out a fix for this yet...

 

I'm aware all the manufacturers have there issues, but I'm a GM owner and want to be. Just want a truck that gets repaired when needed.

 

Pathetic GM

That's about the exact same way that my '16 Z71 Silverado is acting. Must be a NY thing LOL. I'll be contacting the dealer again next week and set up visit number 3. What a bunch of bullshit. Thank you GM....

And where is the GM customer car rep on these forums?

Exactly. How is it that this started with the 2014s and the 2017s are also having the same vibration problems.

Sorry to tell you guys this but GM couldn't care less, they already have your money.

It's cool. It'll be the last dime they'll ever take from me. Next truck will be a Toyota or Nissan.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
