Last summer the truck vibrated like hell at 75 so I took it to a Bridgestone dealer, they road forced and rotated the tires on my 20" rims, all was fine until local dealer rotated the wheels.

Now it vibrates at both 41-50 and around 75. But at 75 it comes and goes.

Contemplating just saying the hell with it and buying new 18" rims and tires.

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 think a lot of the problems come from the dealer's high tolerance along with GM's, take it to a reputable wheel/tire shop, heck even those little mom and pop tire shops do a better job.

It won't help. It's not wheels and tires unless you have damage. I went from 20s to 18s and the shake continues. Now I'm just systematically replacing crap to make it tolerable. Individual battles are won with this issue, but we are losing overall. Too many variables. Too much time wasted. And time is money. Edited by Severado

I haven't read this thread since I traded my 14 in on an HD.. I can't believe that this is still an issue... SMH

 

My solution to the vibes on my second 14 was a new set of Nittos. After I got installed the new tires, my vibrations we're gone. (72+)

Update on the 2017 All Terrain...

 

Just got word that the dealership is getting sent a "perfect set of SRA's"

 

They did find one tooth on the ring and pinion that was out of spec, driveshaft runout was fine but the interesting area is they replaced the axles. The flanges were out of spec and gave a tire 1 lateral runout reading.

 

So long story short new gears and axles and matched and staggered special tires. I feel like Cole Trickle now[emoji23]

 

I'm cautiously optimistic but they have put the time into this which speaks highly of my dealership and district rep.

With that setup you could pass on the outside!

Just thought I'd throw this out there. Last weekend I was working on my moms 2012 Kia Optima for her when I noticed a ticking sound in the engine that I assumed was from the serpentine belt. Kia and Hyundai recently recalled 1.4 million engines for poor manufacturing, so to be safe I sent it in to be inspected by the dealer. They are now replacing the whole engine with a brand new one..... Now thats good customer support!

Well that's just the normal everyday kind of service people get when they spend a large amount of money on a new vehicle, nothing special about that. Err, Umm wait, never mind :(

Have a daughter that drives a 2012 Sonata that was on the list. Had it checked out and was found to be ok. The difference to this problem vs the topic of this thread is Hyundai had found and was able to isolate the problem to a specific run of crank shafts of which the oiler holes were not cleaned properly of shavings after being drilled. I "think" the service rep told me that it was about a 10% problem but not sure. Anyway, being this was a specific documented process problem of which all the details were known Hyundai only had only two choices; do a major recall with a very expensive solution or face a huge class action lawsuit with an even more expensive solution. So, the choice was very simple for Hyundai. Btw, agree it's a great car and has been virtually problem free. But, so has my 2015 6.2 LTZ. In fact, after having made a 250 mile tow with my 6,000 lb TT to a remote area of Texas, I'm keying this right now on the trucks wifi, the 6.2/8 spd combo is great for towing and love the wifi feature

hahaha, I expect that kind of service when I spend a shit ton on money on something.... too bad our "favorite" company doesn't agree.

Sorry SB, but if you really believe that GM doesn't know the root cause of the problem I'm going to think that you're just delusional and a GM blowhard.

 

As for the KIA/Hyundai recall, if 1.4 million engines that are being recalled, its more than 10% of production. By the way, this is the second recall on the Hyundai side for this issue They aren't big enough of a brand for it to be that small of a percentage. In 2016 the two brands together sold about 1.35 million vehicles total. With this recall affecting:

2013-2014 Hyundai Sonata's and Sanata Fe's (617,334 sold)

2011-2013 Kia Sportages (116,785 sold)

2011-2014 Kia Optima (551,902 sold)

2012-2014 Sorrento (327,766 sold)

 

1,613,787 million total US sales for these vehicles across their respective recall years.

 

86.75% of total sales for these respective models years have been recalled over the concern

Last month I purchased a 2017 GMC Sierra All Terrain X - Came with the Nitto Grapplers rather than the Goodyear tires.

 

Within two weeks it started vibrating and was making me nauseous at speeds above 40 but was the worst 65+ - I brought it to my local dealer and had a tech drive with me. He claimed it was the transmission and they flushed the fluids 3 times. This corrected the issue for 300 miles but now the vibration has returned.

 

After contacting the dealership that the issue returned they basically blew me off. I went back to the original dealership that I purchased the truck from and had their tech drive it with the picoscope. He said he has been a GM tech for 20 years and while they can re-balance the tires he is doubtful there is a fix for my truck. He said it is within specs but does spike occasionally and he does feel the vibration.

 

They offered me the other All Terrain X they had on their lot and that one shakes worse than mine does (it has the Goodyear tires).

 

Anyone have an X that doesn't shake?

Please look up the lemon law requirements for your state. Keep taking it back to the dealer. Make sure you press them on detailed documentation and do the same for yourself. Sorry this is happening to you. Good luck.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
