Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no motor mount recall. A newer tsb for loosening the the mounts and adjusting the motor then retightening in a specific sequence is available. It is possible that a tech called TAC and was given a new motor mount p/n but I haven't heard of that yet.

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

Hey guys. Just wanted to throw in my two bits. I was having major vibration issues on my truck at certain speeds sometimes at 50km then 80 and 110km. I had discussed with the dealer about this and they had looked everything other on a couple occassions and told me nothing was wrong then finally one of the service techs had come out and asked me if I would be interested in trying out different rims/ tires on my truck (looked like he had a theory in mind) so i did. I originally had the 20's on the truck and we had swapped for the 18's instead. similar diameter only approx .37" difference. I drove the truck right away after the swap and no vibration. been driving it for the past two weeks this way and still have not come across any vibration. I had made the dealer buy my 20's back off of me and give me a credit to keep the 18's. The mech had said that he noticed a lot of the trucks that did complain about vibration had the 20's on them and he figures something is off. Either way I am just putting in my story of what happened. For others here on the site that have further vibrations issues I hope they get solved and if I here more then I will post it.

When I started this post I thought I might be the only one, and know body will believe my thinking I was just trying to stir the pot. I had know idea if others where having issues. Sadly I never thought it would have turned into this.

Man , You could churn butter in that thing. I have only had mine on interstate maybe three times. Not as bad as yours. I can see the bottle spinning. :omg:

but that's normal, just the way trucks are supposed to ride

 

GM designs its vehicles to ride that way, everything is normal

 

every single truck on the dealers lots drives and vibrates the same way so its normal

 

why don't we accept it when they tell us this :bs:

 

great video and mine does it about the same at times and sometimes not as bad

2014 Z71 2WD

 

i have the vibration shakes like everyone else and i bought a new set of rims 17" for the stock tires, same shake. Took it to the shop i bought the rims from twice and no better. I then bought new rims and tires 22" and shake still there at 35 to 45 and again at 74mph. Took it to the dealer and they noticed it and gave me a rental for 5 days. I went back and they said the problem was my aftermarket rims and tires. I also felt it in the rental. Tried to put up with it was a couple weeks but driving me nuts.Called and talked to the service manager, he said there is a know issue but no fix. He then said he wants to check my rims and tires again and put stock ones on and see if it still shakes. really!!! So i made another appointment but not for two weeks. He said they are very busy with other recalls. Plus he is getting the regional service manager with some vibration detector.

I also noticed that there are no 2015 1500 silverados out yet at least around here, is GM making sure they are ok or anyone else know?

Has anyone that has this issue on a 4wd tried to drive it with the rear driveshaft removed to test for the vibration?

Thought about that last winter. Never came up with a way to seal the output shaft of the transfer case.

i'll say this, I don't drive a lot. my truck sits on the driveway for a week at a time and sometimes it goes a month without being driven. I mostly use the car or motorcycle and the truck gets used mostly just for pulling the boat and this has been my pattern of truck use for nearly 35 years.

 

that said in the entire 35 years I have NEVER had any vibration or feeling of flat spots on the tires, if there was any it was so negligible that it went unnoticed completely.

 

I will concede there might be the possibility of ever so slightest of flattening of the tire from not moving in a while but this it corrected before you leave the driveway with a few revolutions of the tire. I had my truck parked in the driveway for 8 years and never moved while recovering from health issues and when I finally took it for a drive the tires were perfectly smooth as always even though it needed new rotors and brakes from rusting in the driveway. if flat spotting EVER had a chance to be a problem then I think after 8 years it would have occurred but it didn't so I dismiss you notion with the concession that it may occur at some small minor unnoticeable level that cant be noticed or detected or used as an excuse for causing vibrations

 

the ONLY type of flat spot you would feel in the tires is if it gets dry rotted and harden that way and this type of flat spotting never goes away.

 

the notion that a brad new tire can have noticeable flat spots to cause it to be felt when driving is laughable on its face and insulting to anyone who has ever owened a motor vehicle. maybe someone who just fell off the turnip truck might believe such malarkey but as a wise man once said "don't pee down my back and tell me its raining"

 

 

I can feel the crosshairs of a liberal nut jobs rifle scope on me at this very minute lol.

This right here, I deploy 6-7 months at a clip, my vehicle doesnt move during that time, not once did I ever have a flat spot issue in 11 yrs of deploying

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
