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 the best decision I made and I am very happy. I will admit, it's disappointing though, this is my first non-GM car in close to 20 years. They really screwed the pooch on this one and lost a long time customer. Too bad they really don't care. Well, I am off to a nice, smooth vibrationless drive to the camp ground. I wish you all the best of luck and will remain subscribed to the thread. I am interested in the outcome.

Congrats !! Your going to love it and as I posted a few weeks ago I did the same thing . Couldn't be happier it's like a breath of fresh air . It's so nice not vibrating and feeling frustrated during and after every ride in my Silverado .

This 5.7 mated with this 8 speed transmission is amazing a long with the ride and can't believe the gas mileage I'm getting , pretty impressive .Love my new Ram !

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

Okay so my dealer wants me to pay to road force balance my tires. Said they won't cover it because it's part of normal maintenance. I've never had to rebalance tires after the initial setup.

 

What should I do? Tell them that I'll pay for it if it takes care of the issue? Tell them I'm not paying for it and they can pay for it?

 

First I need to take them on a ride and show them the vibration.

How many miles on your truck? It was my understanding that the dealer would cover anything tire related up until 7500 miles.

 

On the flip side I would gladly pay $100 or whatever they want if it fixed the problem....I know in principal it's wrong but sanity is worth something.

Ahhh...I see. Yeah it sucks but look at it like this maybe, since they have admitted a vibe and if it doesn't work they will have no choice to dig deeper into the issue. If it does fix it....well that would be awesome. I would pay good money right now to have a vibe free truck haha.

 

I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a new rig and trade mine off. As much as I love what it could be I can't get past the highway ride. Locally the GM dealers are willing to give me more for trade in than other manufactures which is a double edged sword IMO. Not sure what to do.

Well they haven't admitted there us a vibe cause tech won't drive faster than 70. Sorry ass excuse. There's a freeway 10 min. from the dealer. I'll take em up to 80 when I get the chance

OK..well that is a little shady IMO. They know the game, don't admit anything then you will have to fix it. Have them ride in the back seat with you driving so they can watch the passenger seat dance for them (assuming your passenger seat vibrates like mine does).

Yeah it does. My 02 lifted on knobby 37's doesn't even vibrate as bad as this truck.

 

I don't believe mine is as bad as other trucks, feel really bad for those guys

Final answer from local dealer is it'll cost me about $3200 to get rid of my 2014 and get into a 2015 Sierra SLT (Same truck). Not thrilled, debating..arbitration is looming.

 

Service manager stated once rear differential was replaced, the lost vibration the Pico scope picked up was from the canvas tonneau cover the dealer installed when I bought it. Anyone have a tonneau cover that isn't hard/solid?

 

Sales guy at dealer stated to me he thinks the issue lies within the 20" wheels on the truck. I wonder....

 

I'm sick of this.

Why give them more of your money when they already showed you the problem could not be fixed? All information shows that mechanically the 2014's and 2015's are identical.

 

I do think the Sierra/Silverado twins are the best looking out there but I would personally be hesitant to trade a truck in at a loss and pick up an identical truck. 353 pages shows that its not an isolated incident.

If all they did was rotate tires and change oil and you last had them balanced and was fixed then must be something to do with your tires! Maybe a wheel weight fell off.

That's what I think cause tires are the only thing the two trips have in common. Hopefully they figure it out quickly.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
