Ok so after i dropped it off for visit #3 cust care called me and said that a district rep would contact the dealer about the non All Terrain SRAs and if they will put real AT tires on my truck. Funny thing the loaner 6 banger 4x4 DC with the 18" tire upgrade has Bridgestone Duler HTs lol a tire I would not mind.....

My 2015 Ram 1500 came with 20" Bridgestone dulers and man does it drive nice , smooth as glass

Never liked Bridgestone/Firestone and was going to replace them with some Michelin After a while but they ride so good I'm keeping them plus there rated at 80000 miles .

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

Saw that but I got looking at their interior on the f250s and maybe it's just me but it's more rugged looking not luxury feeling compared to my High Country. I'm sure I would adjust it just doesn't look comfortable to me like the Rams or Silverados do IMHO

You should drive a Ram and see for yourself , I'm loving mine and out of the 7 trucks I've owned over the years this is my by far all around favorite . Man it drives nice and with the Hemi im getting 19 mpg in town and can't wait to go on a trip with it and see the freeway Mpg . Love the way the Hemi sounds and has nice power and torque . Got almost 1000 miles and not one rattle . My Vibarado starting rattling the first 100 miles now that perfection lol .

Love my Fiat?

my dealer said no because Gm said no.... I think GM may be out to get me lol, they won't even try to repair my truck, and Chevy customer assistance basically said that they couldn't do anything because the regional rep already said no

I'm looking at both 1500 and 2500 rams. I'd rather have a 2500. Found a used 2014 Longhorn edition 2500 diesel has 30k miles but it's 4.5 hours away. Dark brown exterior with the cattle tan seats, love how it looks.

 

We'll see what's fixed and what's not on my trip this weekend. I'll also be selling my lifted truck here in a couple weeks so that will give a nice down payment towards the truck as well

Sounds like you have a great plan , I also thought about a used one but after my last truck even though I bought new was concerned about buying another truck with issues and buying someone else's problems so went new plus all the great incentives/ discounts . For me the Ram 1500 with the Hemi was a perfect match because the only thing it will really tow is my bike and small trailer to and from the track but someday I'd like to get a small to medium size camper to tow . The 2500 is a sweet truck though and that Cummings diesel is one of the best if not the best??

All I can say is every time I drive my Ram I can't wipe the smile off my face and it's made me happy with my choice . What a great truck and as I mentioned I've owned many fords and Chevys but this has been my favorite from the get go and still is .

I assume the same will be done to me. Wonder if the service dept will just quietly pull these tires off the rental and put them on my z71 18s.

I am not afraid of a buyback trade sadly enough, we have about 8 guys at work with 2014 and 2015 sierras and silverados and only me and one other had vibes...... their are plenty of 4x4 CC Ocean Blues in the area to test. Ill even to to Ohio to get the right truck.

 

And i have stopped maybe 20 people at Home Depot or grocery stores and no one has any idea about the issue "glass smooth"

 

After this visit ill call the lemon law lawyer give GM the final attempt and be done

You sound like us, haha! We resorted to stopping people and asking them as well. We went through the exchange process and picked up our new 2015 GMC Sierra CC SLT on Sunday. We got out of a 2014 Silverado LT Rally 2 DC that shook like crazy. We drove 3 Silverados and 7 Sierras. This one was the smoothest by far. I can honestly say it rides "as smooth as glass". It has slight vibes but you can feel it's road related and you have to remember it's a truck. But my goodness what an improvement. It truly is a pleasure to ride in now, just keeping my fingers it stays this way! When you are looking for a new one be sure to accelerate hard and feel for a grinding vibration at around 4500 rpms. We've found on a lot of ones we tried. They rebuilt our diferential and it improved so we found that it was directly linked to a differential that might be out of spec in turn creating problems down the line. Our new truck does not have it on hard acceleration. Good luck!

Just throwing this out there, when in drive on deceleration... getting vibration, is this just engine braking through the drivetrain. If I pop it in Neutral, it goes away.

Thanks for your welcome but it would be much appreciated if you don't start name calling which I will refrain from doing .

I'm also glad your enjoying your truck and this thread and your welcome to visit any Ram forum at your convenience and I'll be there for you with a warm welcome .

Also I have contributed to this thread in a positive manner so before you start name calling you should do your homework and educate yourself on the posts within this thread . Further more if it bothers you someone else is vibration free after a year of vibrations in a GM product then that's your problem and not mine . So I'll stay here as long as I like and if I want to recommend another manufacture That's been good for me I will .

I have an appointment to test drive a 2015 crew cab laramie 4x4 fully loaded with features that I wanted but were not available in my GMC. I'm paying way too much to be this unhappy every time I drive on the freeway which is about 40 miles a day. Just going to have to see how bad my loss will be on a trade in. sales tax here in cali is 8.125% paid it once on the GMC not looking forward to paying it again on a RAM but we shall see what the dealer will do.

It really is shame we have to take such a hard hit on depreciation because getting out of truck much earlier then planned . You can thank GM for that and what's even worse is there such great trucks without the vibrations but that definitely turns it into a nightmare at least it did for me and made me sick . But now looking back it was a blessing in disguise or I would of never bought my Ram . What a great truck I think you'll really like your test drive in the Ram and hope they can work you out a deal that fits your needs because I know if they can you'll get a truck you really love and enjoy driving like you should of with your GM .

@abominable Not sure how it is in your state but your sales tax should be on the new truck value minus trade in value, so it shouldn't be too bad.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced   https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

      Road Master Active Suspension

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By GAMark · Posted

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
