Keep in mind that GMT900s had their share of problems when they first came out in 2007. Leaking rear main seals, lint collecting cloth seats, bumpers that would dent if you sneezed too hard, AFM shudder, AFM oil burning issues, etc.

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

'14 Sierra AT w/ 20" wheels. 670 miles now.

 

Finally got it on the interstate saturday, cracked 70 and the front end & steering wheel vibrated quite a bit getting worse up to 80 but never went faster.

 

The return trip yesterday was hampered by weather, but the couple times I was over 70 I didn't notice the vibrations as much - hoping the front end just needed to break in a bit.

 

Have other issues that the dealer needs to work on, going to get it out again before I take it in to see if the vibration comes back...hopefully it doesn't come back.

Sorry to disappoint you, but front ends do not break in. They usually just break. If you feel vibration now, it is going to come back and get worse until the problem is corrected.

its going to break in damnit! :fingersx::shakehead:

 

Having not noticed it on the way back, I'm hoping I just had some ice frozen in one of the front wheels...

That would be the best outcome! I had too many vehicles in my life to know that front end problems do not cure themselves though.

As a side note, I have a friend that sells Goodyears (a large regional company) and he says they are having all kinds of problems with these SR-A's...thinks there is a problem with the mold and they are all "round", but all have side to side movement!! He thinks it will be a while, but fully expects a recall on these tires....

 

Any idea if this recall is really going to happen. I've been reading some horrible blogs/reviews on the internet the last few days outside our forums about these tires now that most of the country is seeing winter conditions.

My friend, the Goodyear rep, has no idea WHEN the recall will happen...but he is fairly positive it will....GM could get off their AS# and pressure Goodyear to act....and more importantly GM could get all of us some answers to the problem continuing after a tire brand change has been done on our beloved 2014 Siverados and Sierras..........

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that. My current goodyears are fine, but a chance to get new tires for free. hot dog.

Do any of you having this problem have trucks with recent build dates?

Got my truck about 4 months and 9000 miles ago (double cab 4x4 5.3 w/3.42) and seem to notice that I only have the vibration when I have a trailer hooked up. I have tried multiple trailers and it's the same, so not in the trailer. Took it to the dealer with the trailer hooked up, they pit on the service ticket that it was possibly an overloaded trailer. 3000 lbs max, and I thought these trucks were supposed to have the highest towing capacity they ever had. They also had something to say about my leveling kit being on there. And then proceeded to tell me there was a difference in mine and the 10 they had sitting on the lot that they had installed.

I posted this a while ago in more detail. In short light aluminum open trailer (two quads)=bad vibration. Heavy trailer (camper) no vibration. Service tech wants to see the truck with the trailer but haven't had time to waste yet.

I too have faced this problem. Noticed vibration above 60 mph on the way home from the dealer and returned the next week and they performed a road force balance and replaced a bad tire. Drive home and the vibration persist. Next week took it to another dealer locally and they did a road force balance (even though I told them it was just done). They say the tires are fine but that they are getting at least one 2014 silverado a week with this vibration issue and havent been able to fix a single one. Service manager basically told me there was nothing he could do and hopefully GM would provide a solution soon. 40k truck and it is miserable to drive on the highway and now it's starting to have a vibration at even lower speeds. Jennifer T., please tell us that GM is aware of this issue and working to find a solution quickly!

I had the road force balance done as well. They said that they were as in balance as possible, but rebalanced anyway and when I got back on the road at around 65 it immediately started back. Maybe worse than when I took it in. I'm getting ready to drive from South Carolina to TX, FL, and Mass in jan and don't want this problem aggravating me all the way.

      Some Assembly is Required

      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?
