My truck has been at the dealership since yesterday to put on a set of stockers to let me drive around so they can prove it's the nitto tires that are causing the vibrations.

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

Well my friend, my days of sierra vibrations have ended. I traded her in for a 2017 ram copperhead sport. They paid my truck off and lowered my payments and this thing is smooth as silk up to even 90 mph. The ride is more comfortable, and just seems like I got more truck for my money. I wish u all the best of luck on ur journey of getting ur vibes fixed. Take care.

So I rode around with the tech, there was a vibration could see it in center console he even said he feels something. Left it overnight, they loaned me a 2017 double cab, holy shit that thing shook LOL, would have been embarrassed selling that to someone, anyway, he called me next day and said its ready. I get there and he tells me Pico scope was within specs and operating as normal. I record a video as I get on highway and the waterbottles were shaking, console was shaking. What a joke. The "service advisor" guy was a dick to. I'll reach out to my sales guy and see if he can be of some assistance, cant wait until I get my 94 out from storage for spring, atleast shes smooth as silk.

Call GM at the number in your owners hand book!

Ask them to get involved, that your truck and steering wheelshakes and it is causing your hands to loose feeling.

That should get them interested!

Drove the Silverado to Columbus Ohio Friday was ok going down , only went up to 71 MPH on the interstate . Came home Tuesday morning truck running smooth at 70 MPH and decided to take her up , ok at 71 , took to 72 not perfect , took to 73 MPH and the steering wheel started shaking , went back down to 70 smooth again , back up to 73 MPH and shaking again !

 

I have been experimenting with my truck and know what is causing the shaking up front ! We all know that GM engineers read this form so I will wait to see if someone has the balls to contact me but I will not hold my breath !!!!!!!!!

 

I'm sure they will not believe what is wrong

 

 

I had to log back in just to reply to this one. All hail this guy !!!! The genius figured it out, the issue (at least in his case) is the nut behind the wheel LOL

Hey C6Bill

 

​You sound like a typical engineer that never got out of his baby crib !

 

Note some people just get into what ever they are driving and never pay attention to what it is trying to tell them , hint I was a farmer and being a farmer you listen to your machine !

​Hey bill I forgot to tell you the real important stuff , I filled up about 1 mile from the interstate and drove about 136 miles and my MPG was the lowest ever 17.1 !!! Past trips same road well over 22 MPG ,,, hint my guess GM will be getting big repair bill soon as a machine can not stand the abuse this truck has taken !

He's thinking I tracked his brain waves and busted his windshield with my engineers baby crib. That will teach him to leave his foil hat off for too long.

 

 

Here's some more yummy troll food for him.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      frustrating P0446 code

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.
