My exhaust manifolds look just like that and did so from day 1. My 2007 looked like that too. I wouldn't worry though pretty much all of the Ecotec engines look like that to some degree. It was never an issue on my 2007 and I don't expect it to be on the 2014 either.

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

Still dealing with all of the same. Truck is back at the dealer after they offered to replace the Goodyear's with Michelins. Got a call last night saying the truck still has the vibration with the new tires and GM wants them to RF balance the new tires??? Why would they have put the new ones on without doing that knowing all the issues we all have. So this morning I get a call saying that all of the new Michelins were out of round and spec and that they are ordering 4 more new ones to try. I cant understand why they have not taken one of these vibrators in to their tech teams and designers at GM to figure this out and issue a fix, makes no sense to me.

I have a 2013 so I don't have a shake issue, but, my frame and cross members is rusted much more than I would like. After seeing the pics above I was wondering if any of you guys have looked under your truck and have similar issues with rust? I did a google search and its all over the internet but I dont see it discussed here.

it slipped off the first page what with the long long list of many issues these trucks have going on with them but here is the thread for the people discussing having frame rust issues

Like Jay Leno would never, never, never turn his car over for valet parking (see Jay Leno garage Challenger hell cat review 9 mins in, funny), I would never trust a dealership tire balance efforts. Find a good tire balancing shop. I have bought many. many Michelins LTX and sports for the last 30 years and had only one tire out of spec.

Yeah no way 4 new Michelins are out of round and spec.

 

One out of round/spec, maybe and that's a HUGE maybe.

Two, I doubt it.

Three, no f*****g way do I believe that.

Four: Ok I'm on a hidden camera show right?

 

Michelins are probably the least likely tire on the market to be out of round and spec. The dealership is just stalling.

Or getting tires from a bargain basement.

For any of you with the high speed vibration - have you tried shifting into neutral well above the speed where it starts shaking, and does that change the shake at all?

 

Has anyone answered this?

Dropsix I did try the neutral thing and different gears (as others have) with no change in vibration..

Now I did just pick up the truck from the Dealer with the four new Michelin's and the vibration is gone, for now. It does ride nice and these tires should be OE on these trucks. One thing I noticed on the drive home was that they are very quiet compared to the GY's, which was a surprise to me because I thought the truck was real quiet to begin with. The only time I could really hear them was on concrete sections of the highway. I have had this vibration issue in the past and was taken care of with four new GY's about 4000 miles ago. Now it rides smoother than it ever has but I am obviously concerned that the condition may come back. Also the exhaust was replaced for the whistle condition which is now gone also. Also I did run different speeds up to 94 mph and did not feel anything or see the passenger seat vibrate at all, so fingers crossed.

Does anyone have this issue with factory 22" wheels?

I had the issue with 22" after markets. Went back to stock 18's had vibrations with the good years put on new hankook winter pike tires and I have no vibrations anymore. I consider myself lucky for the time being.

Just picked up '14 Denali with 8/14 build date and no vibration/shake after first 150 miles of driving. Want to thank you all for speeds/rpm to look for while driving. Hopefully mine stays that way and those with problems find a solution or other positive outcome.

Seems like the late build are vibration free. Have yet to see anyone with a late build complain.

. Thought I read somewhere stating some people having troubles with the 15s vibrating

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
