Indiana has a great lemon law. I hope I don't have to press it.

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 am not paying $60 after paying 50 K. They can keep it.

The difference is, I'm enjoying my 50k truck and you're not...

I would bet that if you took it to an independent tire shop and had the tires balanced and it fixed the problem the dealership would gladly shell out the $60 to reimburse you. Just sayin...

Probably not the tires. Vibration is worse during slow acceleration.

Trust me, I have seen tire problems where the tire belt came loose and it caused all kinds of strange vibration problems even at lower speeds. If yours is a 4WD truck, then there is a possibility of bad inner CV joints on front axles perhaps. Those, if bad, tend to cause vibration under acceleration on front wheel drive cars.

How can the tires or u joints be an issue on a truck that has 1300 miles?

Yesterday I had the dealer install the 2" leveling kit. Tonight took the truck on the highway. Guess what, hit 70mph under acceleration and total vibration. Feels like it in the front end maybe drive shaft. As soon as you take your foot off the pedal it goes away slowly. Did this as soon as you hit 70mph and all the way through 85mph (didn't go any faster). I'm going to have the dealer remove the level. Truck used to ride like a Cadillac, now not so much.

UPDATE:

 

I'd like to take this time to notate the term "Operator Error"

 

So this morning we had a little snow. I had to put the truck in "Auto" on the transfer case switch. Apparently my truck does not like to operate above 70mph in "Auto". So I pulled over and switched it into "2" for 2 wheel drive and the vibrations went away.

Topic is sliding back fast.. How many people found out what was causing the vibes... Curious if any? A friend has a new GMC and the dealer is giving him the run around. We had the tires checked as well and they were normal

I have General Motors involved with mine at this point. I have had 4 sets of tires on it, and 2 different sets of wheels. They have had the truck completely apart and in the shop for 12 days this last go round checking the drive line, axle flange specs etc etc and couldn't find anything. Guess what their suggestion was, another set of tires! They are trying Michelins next week, I am doubtful its tires after 4 different sets but I have to play the GM game if I want to make any headway. I have more than enough shop time and attempts to claim lemon law here in FL, but since GM is already involved, I am hoping they step up and do what is right at this point.

hotrodz37: Once the Michelins are on and if still a problem take it to a good tire shop to check the balance and run out of the tires.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
