You are basing your opinion upon the very small sample size. One, your experience with the harsh ride in your particular truck, and two, a bulletin board comprised of a few thousand enthusiasts. Compare that to the millions of K2XX half tons produced. No doubt that GM has produced vibrators. So has Ford, and Dodge.

Millions hey? Since the K2XX was introduced roughly 1.3 million GM trucks have been sold on that platform. Let's say 1.6 million on high end.

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 have a 2016 Z71 Chebby extended 4x4 5.3 vibrator in red hot, kewl ass truck.... but love/hate sitch, ya know?

 

Talking to my daughter last weekend and she told me her hubby was at a GM dealer in the midst of pulling the trigger on a '17 4x4 LT, same POS I bought a year ago. I suggested that she call him asap, and why. She said it was too late, papers have been signed. I told/reminded her that in NY State ya got 3 days 72 hours to pull out of a contract. Then the discussion went towards the grand kids, and other stuff. So, I called her a while ago to see what's what, and asked if hubby went thru with the truck deal. Yep, he got it. She said no vibration/s. They're young and not $loaded$ so I hope the truck doesn't start the vibrating bullshit....fingers crossed.

I come up with 3,241,316 trucks. Now, some 2014's were GMT900's, but you get the idea...

Hey Guys and Gals,

 

Long time no see. Just figured I'd stop by and see how this train wreck of a product was going. Glad to see some people figured out their own was of getting a resolution. Hopefully more people can figure out their own way.

 

As for me, I'm still loving my 2016 F-150. Radio is great, ride is amazing, looks bad ass. Just a phenomenal truck all around. Hope everyone is doing well, I'll be checking back a little more frequently now. Not being a part of this train wreck anymore makes it a lot easier to come back and watch this sh*t show.

I just don't have time to deal with this issue at all. My truck has 4600 on it since July but have only had it to those bad vibration speeds once, but it does other annoying things, like a weird lion moan noise from the transmission at low speeds. I am letting my wife have the truck as she likes it more, I bought a 2001 f350 and this is a lot worse of a ride, but it's a one ton. One thing, at what mileage do these sierras need oil changed? My computer is telling me something like 12,500km, is that right?

Awwww how cute, you think I'm mad. You couldn't be further from the truth, I actually did very well getting out of my truck and now have something that I actually LOVE to drive... something virtually nobody here can say.

 

I'm no doctor, but you may want to get tested for dyslexia... its spelled FORD and the Aluminum hasn't been a problem what so ever...... in fact they say GM is going to copying Ford and going with Aluminum. GASP, say it ain't so.... and GM did all that bashing of aluminum.....

 

Keep on being salty bud. :nopity:

Play nice Jesse ...

It's not that serious guys. The trucks are a headache. I'll be free of mine soon enough.

Mine and several others have had zero issues with these trucks. Sorry about your luck.

That's Great for you and the several others. But for the people that have this vibration it very annoying. (1) too know other trucks don't or some haven't noticed.(2) nobody from GM Customer service has been on here to help anybody. If there is a fix it would be great. a lot of people have tried different thing and no luck. A lot of $$$$ and time spent.

 

anybody have a success story?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
