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 dropped my truck off on Monday with a different dealer about an hour from me. They went through all the tires/wheels and checked alignment and found nothing out of whack. They called me and said everything seemed normal and with in spec to them. They didn't drive the vehicle so I asked them to do test drives before I come pick it up.

 

They called me Tuesday afternoon and said they wasn't able to drive it but they did go ahead and remove the drive shaft and verified it was balanced properly. It tested "well within spec". I asked why they didn't test drive and was told they didn't need to as they could test it better in the shop than on the poor roads around them.

 

I decided not to push any more. I picked the truck up Wed. morning and drove it 2 blocks down the road and traded it for a 2016 F-150 Platinum. I can't remember ever being so happy with a purchase decision. After owning about a dozen GM vehicles I/nor my kids will ever own another one, never.

Welcome to the Club my friend. Instead of a Platinum I went for a Fully Loaded Lariat with virtually every package available, you'll enjoy it! post a pic of her

After having the steering bushings replaced with "newly engineered" ones and a u joint replaced I'm happy to report that I don't feel vibration from 70-80mph any more. Only problem now is my steering wheel cocked to the right a few degrees... I guess I can live with that for now, beats shaking down the road all day

Could you please post what was on the work order? Part numbers replaced? Was a service bulletin referenced? Thanks!!! Any information helps us work towards getting our trucks fixed.

 

I'm not sure about the new GM trucks, but my S10 had a self aligning steering column. As long as the alignment was straight, it would center itself over time.

No service bulletin but here is the part number for the bushings 84097717

 

After two days of driving I'm still pleased with the result. I still think these stock tires a junk and now that there has been some resolution to my problem I can now focus on upgrading. Looking at Cooper AT3 at the moment.

Thanks!!! Can anyone dig up what this looks like and how hard it is to replace? All I can find is it's $32 online.

Schmidt152, for others and myself, what were the vibrations that you were feeling?

I've had my 2015 CCSB, 4x4, 5.3 LTZ for three weeks and it turned into a vibrator yesterday. Only had 5200 miles on it when I bought it.

 

It went from the smoothest vehicle I have ever owned to a vibrating mess. About a week ago I started feeling vibrations in the gas pedal. Nothing major just a minor annoyance. I get back from Nashville last night and drive it home from the airport and I started noticing a side to side vibration in the steering wheel at speeds between 65 and 75. It got worse at higher speeds.

 

I drove it on a 40 mile round trip today and it was worse. I've driven that same route numerous times and never had an issues. So I know it isn't the road.

 

I have an appointment Thursday at the dealership to have it looked at. Fingers crossed.

Vibration in the steering wheel plus vibration in the seats and console as well. Steering wheel was the worse BUT hold your horse because GUESS WHAT? ITSSSSS BACKKKKK! Truck was smooth as glass when I got it back and now it's the same as it was. Well maybe slightly better... but still that damn thing still shakes. And I get it, it's a truck and it's not suppose to ride like a Cadillac but vibration is far different from a stiff truck suspension. RT I know what you're going to say, and I agree. My beef is that I want this done on GM's dime and I want answers from GM. But this is BEYOND ridiculous! My dealer has been great to work with. They've gone as far as picking up my truck from home and leaving me a loaner (That's service!). What is killing me is GM and their mechanics and engineers attention to detail. My steering wheel is now crooked to the right and when I dropped it off it wasnt. That's a simple fix so just @$&!ing do it. I gave them a list of all the items people complained about and none of them checked to my knowledge. Just a "bad U joint and newly engineered bushings" B$!!s&$&.. This rant is far from over GM but that's all the time I have for now

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
