What mine? 28,000 miles 1yr ownership now........I have spent 200.00 for a Transmission flush for my own well being....and recently spent 60.00 for 2qty sets of wiper blades? Truck drives and rides as perfect today as it did off the lot? 20mpg's mixed driving it's fit and finish is superb I am amazed at how good it drives after 28,000 miles in one year.......I might be the only one who got a good vehicle from GM HUH?

This truck must be the lottery winner I suppose!

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 i guess i have to eat crow , the hunk of GM junk came back to life today ! Drove up to Canton Ohio on I 77 and my Silverado came to life , sounded like a old steam engine and shaking up front ! The noise started on the 50 MPH range and i took her up to 70 and you need ear plugs if you wanted to listen to the radio , i night as well had the windows down the noise was that bad ! Dear sweet Mary is just like Obama , two liars in a pod ! I will do a oil change in about 500 miles and there is a lot of things under the truck I want to check out ! I see no way this truck can take this punishment much longer and I have told GM that it is unsafe to drive but when one is a liar nothing bothers them !!!!!!!!!!!!

It is with all due respect I am writing this reply. My intent of writing the reply is for GM to get off their butt and fix their issue. After having been a 35 year owner of Chevy Trucks I recently tried a different brand - 6 months ago. Late last night I was driving home after a long week traveling, and I realized I was doing 80 miles an hour - with no shimmy shake or vibration. It was a comfortible ride. Two weeks ago my wife was riding in the truck and she mentioned it rode better than her 2017 CRV. To that point - my die hard Chevy brother-inlaw now owns a Ford F-150. You ask - why am I writing this reply - you bought something else. True - but I love Chevy Trucks. I just could not afford the time to constantly go in and try to get my truck to work properly. GM admits there is a issue - please do not insult me by telling me they do not have a fix. And it is still happening in 2017. My truck was a 2014......... GM - PAY ATTENTION - you have two diehard owners that have just given up and gone to different vehicles. We buy a vehicle to get and drive - for what we need to do - not to drive to the dealer to get it fixed........... If it happened to us, you can bet it is happening to less loyal customers. I happy with my new truck, no trips to the dealer. The only issue is that it is not a Chevy. My final point to GM, this week I was in Texas and I was shocked at the number of Nissan , Toy-auto trucks that were on the road. It was a dramatic increase from just a couple of years ago. I can only wonder who's market share they took!!!!! WAKE UP GM - YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE GOING ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well GM now wants me to take my truck back to the dealer so they can compare it to a 2017 truck off the lot. I asked the GM Rep , what if the truck on the dealer's lot vibrates, does that make mine normal?? This should be interesting.

well drove my 2014 gmc crew cab 1500 today.it has 39xxx miles.

 

when i bought the truck noticed the vibration at 30xxx miles , was told it was tires. should've had them put tires on it before buying.

had new tires installed and same vibration from 45-75 on acceleration , cruse, or deceleration.

also bought a set of gm take off wheels. still vibration same speed ,rpm.

new road with windows up sounds like driving down a gravel road.

well long story short drove about 200 miles and on the way home came to a stop light and felt like an engine miss remind u i am not moving, this only happened for a couple seconds and gone.

drove to the next light and did it again, just for a couple seconds. know i have worked for a gm dealership for 15 years. this is the same vibration i would bet my axx. I dont know if converter vibration or something else in engine rotating assembly.I have been waiting patiently for a fix from gm. I think they are looking in the wrong spot. this just happened for the first time today that i noticed but allways had the vibration in v4 or v8.

really disappointed in this truck

.

rad leak at 37xxx miles. was not under warranty cause assembled in mexico.

 

vibration.

 

poor radio reception.

 

money wasted, not worth the head ache. the more i drive the more aggravated i become.

Got in my truck this morning to go golfing , turned onto St Rt 212 took it up to about 45 and sounded worse than a freight train ! Was like driving down a gravel road I changed speeds several times and the noise was still there, it has never did this before ! After golf drove up to Canton and truck was running quite and perty smooth . On return trip took up to 72 and VERY , VERY light vibration up front [ most people would not notice ] and ride was smooth !

This hunk of junk needs to be recycled into a boat anchor , seems every day it now does something else and i'm beging to think onstar has something to do with all these problems !!! I had a 2010 and one morning heading east on I 70 I for some reason had a can of pepsi sitting in the consol , well after about 40 mile I decided to pop the top and that dam thing exploded all over my truck so i'm thinking this problem has been around longer than most people think . I stopped at local dealer and they had to changed several settings , I ask how they got changed and got no reply !!!!! OnStar OnStar screwing with my truck !!!!!!!! and not the first time either , dirty bastards

During assembly there are push locks that resemble a star washer installed on the studs to keep the rotors seated.

 

It doesn't seem like common knowledge that they need to be removed when the wheel is installed.

Pardon my laziness, but don't have the time to scroll through 700+ pages. If anybody could recap if a solution was posted for my yr/make/model that'd be huge and a big thanks.

 

2014 double cab Z71
34xxx miles
33" all terrains

20x9 fuel mavericks

Noticed a vibration/shake a few thousand miles ago and it continues to get worse. Shakes my middle console pretty bad from roughly 65-80mph. From what I've scrolled through and found, possibly my drive shaft needs to be rebalanced?. Taking into dealership next week.

 

Thanks in advance.

No solution found but GM will most likely blame your wheels and tires, not being a party pooper but they are in denial and will find reason to blame non-original parts. Good luck

If they do not blame the wheels/tires they will just tell you all the trucks do this and it is normal.

 

And good luck complaining to GM. I have yet to receive any sort of communication from them regarding my open case.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
