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 can't believe you said that. The 900s are by far the best generation truck GM has made. I went from an 09 to a 2014(worst generation) back to a 2009 Avalanche.

 

800's 2500 series they are the bone that wouldn't break!

Check out ThisTruckSucks.com. It is a new website dedicated to the #GM #Chevrolet #GMC vibration issue.

Yes he (I) is. I am very irritated that GM is ignoring this problem and I will not go away until they address it.

I absolutely loved my 900. It never let me down, easy to mod, never vibrated, even with 20" rims. Mine was not loaded as much as I would have liked. I went shopping, and brought home my '17. My '13 maintained it's value, too. I also love this one. It has all of the options I wished my other one had.

The 2013 GMC SIERRA Denali is the best truck one can buy in my opinion. The rear disks are a breeze to change and last forever, the perfect diff gear ratio, heated and cooled seats that are actually comfortable. I mean its by far the best truck for the money and they are harder and harder to find and maintain their value so well.

Well add me to the list. I put all terrain tires on my new turn at 2 k miles. All has been fine until I turned 14 k miles. Now The truck shakes and vibrating starting around 65 mph. Had it at tire shop all day and after multiple road force testing and even putting on new tires. Truck shakes and vibrates still. Dropping off at dealer next week. Crap.

I rented a 2017 Suburban this week for a vacation to Maggie Valley and man, this thing shakes exactly like my 14 truck that was bought back.. It starts to come in at around 72 and is at it's worst around 78. I haven't posted in this thread since I got into a 2500 because bc I haven't experienced this since. Quite disappointed to say the least... This is an LTZ 4wd, 5.3, 6 speed, 3.08. Between the shakes and the buffeting in the cab when it goes into V4 around 40 mph or so, I'd never even consider another k2 half ton anything!

I towed a trailer with my 2017 6.2 from MA to NH and on the way back home I started getting a vibration between 70-75 MPH. It comes and goes while towing. Only time I have felt any shake in a K2 is now. I have 12k miles on the truck. I have to investigate the trailer and make sure its not something with that since it only shakes while towing. Its not a consistent shake either.

OK, took my '15 in to a different and larger Chev dealer last Wed and passed along the history about the many trips to the

other dealer with many road force balances and same old standard canned response of "in specs". Stay tuned for the results.

 

Much has been discussed and many areas pointed out or parts changed on this vibration subject.

NOW...can a common comparison give us any new information?

 

Assembly plants...Ft. Wayne or Mexico (Mine is MX)

2WD vs 4WD (Mine is 4WD)

Reg cab vs Double cab vs Crew cab (Crew here)

Gear ratio...3.73-3.42-3.23-3.08 (Mine is 3.23 and shake still in the 72-84mph range)

Engine size...4.3-5.3-6.2 (6.2 here)

Wheel size...17"-18"-20"-22" (Mine is 20")

Tire Mfg...(Good Year LS-2 here)

Transmission...6-sp or 8sp (8-sp here)

Any other thoughts or ideas??????

Don't really know that answer Gassamax. Postings have been for the 1500 series as I recall.

 

Since nearly all the shake and vibration issues have been at the highway speeds of 70-85mph range

my take would put the problem starting in the rear end out to the wheel and tire itself since all gear ratios

are involved. The drive shaft, transmission, converter, etc. would spin at different speeds but the

shake stays in the same rpm range. Also the stock tire diameter (height) remains quite constant at

around 31" no matter which wheel size 17", 18", 20", or 22" is mounted.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
