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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      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.

      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.
