Shake or Vibration Issues

So the second Sierra we drove was worse than the first. Both driven at highway speeds and immediately noticeable. This is going to be a fun new adventure.

does that mean your not taking a replacement?

On to dealership No. 2 - third test drive in a 2015 Sierra today - result: vibration. Going to try one more and then I don't know. We have to see with GM what they want to do. But we can't afford to pay them 4k to have them buy back the vehicle.

Are you making note as to what tires are on the GMCs?

Just curious, I wonder how much all of you that went and traded in brand new trucks, what was your loss? I had a 2014 Ram and unfortunately did not like it enough to keep. TIA!

When it was all said and done I Was out just a tad over $200 .00. And remember GM had my Silverado

for almost two months and put on over a 1,000 miles.

I got my Ram before I settled with GM, as I needed a truck. I went from a basic W/T 1 with a few goodies and

quite a few aftermarket items I could not remove because GM could not find a truck that did not vibrate.

MSRP to MSRP I ended up with a Ram Tradesman with all of the equipment as a LT Silverado for roughly

$3,800 less and ended up buying it for much less as the truck already had a 90 day floor plan on it.

Good year Eagles

good to know, I thought the 17, 18, and 20's all had wranglers on them

Interesting, Wranglers are listed as the original equipment on Silverado's but one of the things done to mine was replacing Wranglers with Eagles.

Try test driving one with 22" bridgestones.

My buddy has one with 22's and bridgestones. I'll try getting with him and take it for a test drive and see if it vibrates

SLT's should all come with Goodyear wrangler SR-A. They are literally the cheapest tire you can buy in 275/55r20 that isn't some off brand Chinese manufacturer.

And the ones that GM buys from Goodyear are even cheaper... Apparently the OE tires are sub-standard to retail tires I've heard before from 3-4 different tire stores . I'm having to wait over a week to get a full new set of tires from a "different supplier". They should be in tomorrow, I informed the service manager that I will not accept or sign for the truck until I'm satisfied.

I'd believe this! my SR-A's were very cheaply made, they had little rubber pieces sticking out of them all over the place as if the rubber mold used to make them wasn't tight enough. I've noticed also that the older version of the SR-A's with white side walls seemed to be much better quality.
