How so? There is 5, 10, 30, 35 and 40oz weights, how do you come up with 2.25 oz?? He didnt specify what type he has on there. 3oz is excessive.

If you took time to look at the picture he posted you would see that they are 1/4 oz weights. 1/4oz x 9 = 2.25oz. Go look at your wheels and tires. Guarantee there is close to 3oz on each wheel.

Pic didn't show for me until it was open in Chrome. Could be more weight on that rim. Sure might have 3 oz which is excessive, I don't ever remember putting 3 oz on a wheel when I worked a t a dealership.

Truck still in the shop they put brand new Goodyear sra still didn't fix it. Now putting all new shocks

 

JC84, please let me know if the shocks work and if they are stock or if GM may think bad shocks are the issue.

Ok guys I have the same issue with my rally 2 with 4000 miles where do I start this sucks

Welcome to the forum Arun9lude,

 

Start by making an appointemnt at your dealer for your concerns, Check your states laws on Lemon Laws, Buy Backs

and the BBB site.

 

In most cases the dealer has four attempts to correct the issue. Keep track of your mileage The dealer/GM put over

a 1000 miles on mine and never corrected the vibration issue. also keep notes on dates and times along with the people

you talk to and their position, most of all be nice it really helped in my case.

 

Sadly, GM has been aware of this since 2013 and with the record sales they are having it is not in GM best interest

to solve this anytime soon as their record speaks for it's self.

I have a 2014 chevy silverado Z71 double cab with 21,000 miles on it and I have had a shake since I had 500 miles on it. My truck has been in the shop more times then I can count. Here recently the dealership has helped me big time. I had the service manager ride with me and he clearly stated that there is something wrong with the rear end. I would get up 75 to 83 mph and my center console would shake really bad. They took my truck in and 2 days later gave me a call and stated that the ring gear wasnt straight it was reading 0.03 but should be 0.02. I have had my truck on the road after the shop visit and it's riding nice and smooth so far. I have goodyear tires on it and I'm going to have those changed very soon, the dealership has road forced them 7 times. Everything is factory with my truck and I have been dealing with the shake for over a year and finally got something done about it.

Of the two new tires my dealer put on, I did notice one of the other ones they left had a LOT of weight on it.... I too like my truck but agree with others that the quality has gone down... I've still got some vibration, rear end "Clunk" sometimes, then there is the "Ching" sound when I apply the gas easily after letting it coast. All these issues are on this forum so I'm not alone...

Ok my ride has been in the shop since last week with the vibration. They road force balanced the tires, with no resolution. They are looking at the rear end now. They need to decide a course of action with the service manager tomorrow. Guess I'm the first at this dealer with this problem. The video I took was eye opening to the tech last Friday.

There stock shocks.

He told me gm said when they replace the tire they replace the shocks as a precaution. There hoping this fixes it which I doubt it. will find out tomorrow hopefully when the shipment comes in with the shocks.. I still think it's driveshaft or rearend related.

Still dealing with this issue, It will be a lemon law case by the end of the week without any results, I have 3 new goodyears and a new ring and pinion. still will shake you out of the passenger seat.

Okay, so I am at my local GMC dealership for service (oil change). I ask the customer service rep if they have had any Sierra's come in with shake/vibration issues. The answer was yes, and I asked if they fixed the issue. I have to add that these guys know me, and they know not to BS me. I was told they fixed the issue by loosening the body mounts, drove down a few rough roads, and re-torqued. Supposedly that fixed it. I was also told that the pico meter was giving them the run around and they had tried pretty much everything else.

 

So what do you think?

It surely is possible, I know the Jeep trackbar had to be torqued only at ride height and not on jackstands. If it truly is the fix, I will be loosening the body mounts tonight

Here is an update to my previous post. When dealing with the shake/vibration issue, they must go through the list prescribed to them by GM. If there are aftermarket drivetrain components on the vehicle they must rule them out before proceeding through the list. The body mount fix was a last ditch effort by them just to see what would happen, and I have been told it worked on more than one occasion. The pico meter measurements taken after the fix were actually better than the measurements on a vehicle that never had the issue in the first place.

 

With that being said, they have to go through the process eventually reducing vibration/shake to a level that is not noticeable. So it seems to me there is not a "magic" one item fix, but maybe a combination of fixes.

I have had an issue with my truck that I thought was my wheel spacers, but turns out its still there after. At abour 45-70mph on smooth roads I get a hobble. Its not a shake side to side its a shake up and down, makes it feel like I'm on a wavy with bumps in it. Not sure what else to do, my wheels were roadforce balanced just recently, but it is possible they didn't do a great job.

    • New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.      
    • $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.
    • I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you. 
    • Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book. 
    • My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
