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

Wow...I have a standard bed (two piece drive shaft) and have had nothing but issues with the vibration. So far they have replaced Wheels, tires, driveshaft, changed pinion angle, and changed spacer on driveshaft...been in the dealership now for over 5 weeks. I paid 50K for a piece of SHIT truck and now GM wants to trade me out for something else. I was told the issues were in the Standard Bed (two piece drive shaft) so now I hear that its a short box it makes me skeptikal. Not sure what to do....

 

Man that is tuff. I would not be very happy with this either. All I can say is have you had someone besides the dealership look at the tires and do a road force balance? On my 90 GMC sub, when new, we put on two sets of Michelins trying to stop vibration. I finally just took the second set on the truck to a good tire shop and dang no vibration after a good balance. Good luck on this. Maybe another truck as some/most here are OK?

Spoke to Gm specialist and they told me there is no fix at the moment we are stuck with our vibrating trucks till they find solution. Has anyone heard anything else? What is your dealership telling you?

Harmonic vibration? Next time you feel it listen. It sounds like a sub woofer at a low frequency. I hear it the most while in 4 cylinder mode. This frequency could be created in the exhaust, or driveline causing most likely the cab to vibrate. If the cabs of these trucks have a low harmonic frequency that matches a slight vibration in the truck it could amplify it resulting in us hearing and feeling it.

I've had my Sierra Crew Cab since late July and noticed the vibration shortly after purchasing . It now has 8950 miles on it and its been back to the dealer twice and they don't know what to do. I bought my truck to drive not sit at the dealership . I told them to do some research before I bring it back again . Still waiting for a call. I think its time to contact the attorney general about the lemon law.

I also have a Sierra.

 

So far the TCM and torque converter replacement seems to have solved my issues. The deal just called today to ask how it was running (bout 3 weeks and 500 miles since replacemet). The also said that GM would l like them to flush out the tranny again and check to make sure everything still looks good. Dropping it off Friday.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
