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

Report back when you get some miles on her at speed. Be interesting to hear the results.

quickvert1: glad to hear the LTX may be the fix. Been running them for years, road and in and out of rough STex pastures. All good.

 

P.S. if they ever get the Bilsteins in 5100 for the '14s going, they will take out that harshness you mentioned. Firm, controlled but not harsh.

I'm having similar problems, I have a 2014 double cab 4x4 v6 sierra. I'm having a problem where the truck shakes at low Rpms in what feels to be high gear (around 45mp, it feels like the truck is struggling as if you were driving a standard car at very slow speed and in top gear). I also noticed that going down hill my tach bounces up and down about 500rpm.

Quickvert1, did the dealer put the Mechelins on or did you pay for them out of your own pocket?

I would like to report an encouraging development. I took my 2014 Z71 double cab into the dealership about two months ago to get the vibration problem looked at. They told me I had one tire out of balance which they said they rebalanced. Afterwards, I took it out on the highway but still had a slight vibration at 70-75. After reading all the post on this forum, I decided just to wait and see what happens. Well, over the last month or so, the vibration has completely stopped. 75 is smooth. Took it up to 85 yesterday. Still smooth as glass. I just turned over 3200 miles. I have no idea why the vibration has stopped. Tire wear, suspension breaking in, what??? Whatever has happened, I hope it is permanent.

 

As a side note, I have not experienced any other problems some folks have been reporting. No noise in rear end, dash is not warping, no rattles. This is the third Silverado in a row I have owned. I had a 2004, 08, now a 14. This truck is the best by far. It's tight, quiet, the 5.3 is kick ass and all electronics to include mylink works perfectly. I love this truck...as long as the vibration issue remains a non-issue.

I have he exact same problem as identified in Silver Spaceship's original post. 2014 Silverado, purchased in November, (Special Ordered it), 5.3, Ltz Crew Cab with 308 rear end. Noticed the vibration issue when I picked it up. Starts around 45 mph. Took it to the dealer and they balanced the tires. Did not fix the issue. Took it back and they did a road force balance, did not fix the problem. They said I had a bad tire, Goodyear. I worked out a deal to have them install Michelin LTX M/S 275/55/ R20, I paid the difference, between the Goodyears approx. $500.00. Did not fix the problem, returned to the dealer and they did a road force balance. Did not fix the issue. I'm taking it back again this morning.....

well just maybe that dealer cannot balance a tire. biggspell, try a good tire shop for a balance. where are you located? Does the dealer sell a lot of tires and thus balance often? Doubt it...

Good advice, that's what I would do.

I'm not taking my brand new vehicle under warranty to a local tire shop... As per all these posts the only thing that's clear to me at this point is that it's not the tires...

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      I really appreciate the response.  I guess I was confused about torque angle vs torque angle yield.  The individual bolts don't have a warning on reuse but the part number for the LCA nuts does.   Regarding the purpose of the moog grease fittings on their bolts .. Guessing to reduce possibility of corrosion locking the cams or seizing to the bushing inserts.

      The top speed is software limited, I don't think there's a way to change it without de-doing the whole truck. If you can get a CAN log per my above post we can try seeing if there's anything obvious going on. What happens when you plug the truck in to charge it, does it ever fully charge up or does it stay at low battery %?

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  The factory spec would apply to the Moog bolts as well.    I see two things different.  The Moog bolts are greaseable (which I see no point in) and they don't have one of the washers welded to the bolt like the factory bolts, so they can be used in all 4 positions.      Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.  A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.

      Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a
