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

I hope you are wrong too. I have my 2015 order in now. I think there was a post somewhere on here about how the 2015 Heavy-Duty's had a vibration/shake issues.....but that was only one rogue post. I believe.

Well, I've sort of fixed my 2014 Chevy Viberado LT with the 5.3 EcoTick engine. I put the "V" back on for Vibrator. Im surely it was on there before I took the test drive, but must've shaken off when I hit 70+ mph, and never noticed it. :thumbs:

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.

 

When I was researching trucks, I would look under the Fords, Rams and Chevys. From my sampling, the Fords and Rams had a TON of rust on them (new trucks) just sitting on the lot. The Chevys had the least. (I'm aware of the frame rust issue, I just haven't seen it from my sampling). My old 2000 Tahoe was almost rust free.

 

I do plan to spend some time touching up any minor spots on my new truck. Just because I like to see it clean/rust free. (Even if I'm the only one that will ever see it.)

The frame of my 2013 looks like its 50 years old. Its bad.

One guy that bought a 2015 HD Denali 3 months ago has a vibration on dieselplace.com, guys with HD's on this site have had the issue also.

Just want to chime in; 14' z71 Regular cab (built 7/14) on the GY SRA's and I am pretty sure I have caught a case of the shakes. Truck seemed fine first couple hundred miles, but I now jiggle like a worm anytime I hit smooth pavement at 70+. The issue does not seem too pronounced at lower speeds but I can almost use 70 mph as an on switch for the vibrator. The odd thing is that the shake is not felt in the steering wheel just the frame, either way another fun scheduled dealer visit I suppose.

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

 

Mine built in July 2014 hasn't vibrated yet. I'm at approx 650 miles.

For those that had the vibration issues fixed with tires, what kind of vibration problems did you have?

 

For me, I feel I have multiple issues, because I have some constant low frequency vibrations that feel like small rumble strips at 50mph (I feel this is steering wheel, gas pedal, floor), then a more intense pulsing vibration that happens at 65-70 (mainly feel this in gas pedal only), and finally I have a vibration that literally shakes the truck back and forth where I notice my center console/cup holders shaking left/right when I am driving at 80-85.

 

Which vibration type did the tires fix?

My truck with the 6.2 max trailering pack has that shutter also on hard acceleration in first and second gear, mine also has a tranny pump whining noise that is loud when the tranny is cold and gets a little better as the tranny warms up. Does yours have the whining noise?

My first truck whined so bad and vibrated. My newer one, almost no whine, no vibration

I wasn't triumphantly stating that mine didn't do it.

 

Simply stating my build date and mileage for data purposes.

I was saying in other words, you're lucky. I was one of the few who went through 30 days of my truck in a shop to have it "bought back". I gave them another shot because in love the way these new trucks look. My first had new tires, a set of tires off another truck in the lot, 3 shafts, a complete rear end(including rotors/calipers), engine shims, and about 40 hours of my time back and forth to the dealer, test rides ect. I've tried shifting to neutral, driving in M5, m4, and all this to never fix it. I even bought a bunch of sand at Home Depot to test for frame beaming... Weight in the bed made NO difference at all. The dealer pushed GM for trade in assistance cash so they didn't have to work on it anymore... On top of the vibration, my headlamps were always foggy, my seat moved, uneven tailgate cables, HVAC lights didn't work, 3rd brake light didn't have an illuminated switch that worked, exhaust squeaked going from v4-v8... My new truck had the slightest vibration, and after I put my nittos on, 7500 miles of smoothness. My only issue with the second is the seat started moving at 8700. Edited by 20Bowtie14

Talk about unlucky. Trust me I read all these problems before I picked mine up last week and just sorta said **** it, and am hoping for the best.

 

Believe me though, I am driving around just listening or feeling, waiting for things to go wrong. In hindsight, I probably should have just bought a different truck.

 

 

Again, hoping it works out for me.

      Thrust bearing is a very small window.  But nice try.   Turbo oil filter?  Haven't seen any failures.  Change your oil more frequently.  Use a better oil than the factory oil.

      There is a p/n called out in the one PI that GM has.  Curt 57003 inline load adapter that is used for LED trailers that are having trouble with these newer trucks.  No cutting, no splicing, etc.  GM did update the lighting module around 2023 to better pick up trailers with LED lighting, but it still can happen.     Here's the link to the Curt site for it - 7-Way RV Blade LED Electrical Adapter (Not a Wiring Extension) SKU #57003 by CURT   The PI I am referencing - MC-10208985-9999.pdf   Its not just a GM deal either.  Newer Fords and Rams have this same problem.       In another PI, they recommend that the trailer has a Pollock brand 7 way on it as that is who makes the truck sides for the OEMs.  GM is also big on making sure the trailer is trouble free.  So no wiring issues, all lights are functional, better quality 7 way plug, etc.     The other PI I am referencing - MC-10178359-9999.pdf   The model year range is older but it is the current PI for 2014-2026.  It calls out the Pollock RV HD 7 way they recommend.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That's part of the problem...the EGR has already been replaced, and I've already had the complete intake assembly removed, and the EGR passages were clear at that time. That leaves wiring, PCM, or another variable that I wasn't expecting. Best I can tell, it's not wiring or the PCM, so I'm grasping for straws.   The PCM uses the MAP reading to confirm the requisite loss of vacuum in the manifold when the EGR activates. Since that's vacuum related, it involves a lot of other systems which could play a role.   The overall diagnosis has to be considered too. The fuel lines in the intake had rubbed through and were dumping fuel into the intake, drowning the cylinders in fuel, and putting raw fuel into the sump and cat converter. The fuel system has been fixed but the complete path of damage may not be. If the cat was damaged and melted the internals, it could be partially obstructed and also playing into the EGR issue.   I'm retracing my steps; trying to go back to thinking thinking Horses not Zebras based on the clues I've been given. These engines aren't *that* complex.   Could it be, now that the truck is running well, that carbon and crud from being run with the fuel system in disarray is now dislodging and clogged my clean EGR passages where I can't see?  That's what the code is actually saying. The flow is restricted, dummy. Retrace step 1.   I may just need to remove the lower intake again. Before I do that I'm going to try removing the EGR and running the engine for a few seconds to see if it will blow anything lodged in the egr passages out through the open ports.     That's been helpful in the past. For the spider injector, there's no guarantee I'll get a working one. The spider I have seems fine now that the high pressure fuel line isn't making an early delivery via large hole. SO at least I'm not marooned and looking for one of those.   Row52 (dot com) is also a good one for watching for vehicles at local yards.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.
