This is nothing new and has been mentioned multiple times in this thread.  Works for some but not for others.

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

(P/N 23469809 – Qty 2) Note free under warranty read bulletin

 

Also you can read the Bulletin Helps understand where GM thinks the issues are. There are other bulletins for trans,converter, program(8speed) and also a rear shock recall.

Should apply for 17 also. It was just dated at the time for those years. Same body truck. Honestly print the bulletin and walk it in. They like to act like you the customer doesn't know. But parts are free and so is service so screw them make them fix it. Also depending on your issue there is a bulletin for undercoating spray above trans.

Yes as I stated there are other ways to fix depending on truck options and trims. The worst seems to be the 8speeds. Also the 2 degree can be too much. Then there is a bulletin for that, so I got that part coming also. 72190e5e1ca0509200f1238c8116d3b7.jpge17cf6260d4b152a5887a7f08256bbc8.jpg18aa24f8e3e7cb8e6e4ffb525d419753.jpg

787 pages of Shake and Vibration issues.

I traded off my 2 2014's and bought a Raptor and King Ranch back in April.

How often have they been in the shop for Warranty? NEVER

Yup....got sick of the shitty 8 speed,highway vibes,and multiple lifter n pushrod failures....dumped the POS and went back to Ford.

When a dealership shop admits the tranny wasn't right but Chev wouldn't touch it was the final straw....

GM can kiss my ass

Lots of folks believe the  pushrod/cam in block engine  is obsolete technology as compared to the DOHC engine.  Actually, both designs date back to the turn of the 20th century.  And, there are pros and cons for each.  The pros for the pushrod is it’s lighter (exempting the true hemi elephant) and has a lower center of gravity, generally creates more torque (push) due to a slower burn rate.  Pros for dohc is faster burn rate, more high rpm hp, no valve float to speak of, great for racing.  So, the debate about which concept is better depends on usage and preference.  Personally, for truck use I prefer the naturally aspirated pushroad.  Just my two bits ?...

I think the development of 10 spd tranny was a joint Ford/GM collaborative endeavor.  So, presumably it should function about the same for both.  Perhaps, some programming differences such as shift points, etc.  just guessing though...

So traded my '14 double cab. Decided to stick it out with GM and got an '18 Silverado Crew Cab regular bed. So the 153 wheelbase. 5.3 Z71 6 speed 3.42... Well it doesn't vibe much on the highway but a bit of a shudder on acceleration and deceleration. Having played the shim game on my last truck,  I rolled my eyes and looked underneath. I guess they are rolling them out with shims in them now. I was perfectly smooth till the 500 mile mark. I don't highway much. Prolly have them taken out. Funny part is, in Maine, when you buy a new Chevy, you get lemon law paperwork with your packet and owners manual. Once it's your fault. Twice it's mine...

They come with shims? Can you expand....

There are shims in between the leaf springs to change the angle between the drive shaft and rear axle assembly.

Ohhh.... I guess I missed a few pages.

Is that affected when guys level / lift trucks?

Obviously the shake is there from the factory on some of these trucks (my 2014 included) so ...

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
