I know hindsight is 20/20, but sounds like they should have tried giving you a new set of BFG's...? Some tires are just bad.

I know, but I was tired of dealing with both the dealer and the tire shop. They are next door to each other and have a relationship. They wouldn't admit they might be defective, and the dealer also said they balanced within spec (backing them up). Kept telling me it was because they were an LT tire. I kept telling them stiffness had nothing to do with the bad vibration. I'm just glad it was only the tires causing my problem. I can enjoy driving my truck now. The only time I use my 4X4 is on the beachfront in the Summertime chasing the speckled trout. :cheers:

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

Since that seemed to solve your issue dredd, shouldn't the dealer reimburse you for the cost of the Michelins? Mine was willing to comp mine, but they didn't solve the problem.

Hey Mike,

 

Yes, the whole process is so frustrating. Jeff called me this afternoon and said we are both getting the Bridgestones. I'm getting mine next Saturday morning, I'm assuming that I'll have to wait about 4 hours while they do it, another frustrating part of this. I have spent too many hours either at the dealership or driving back and forth. I had that Nissan Rogue earlier this week, we should be given a new truck for a rental.

 

Also I have definitley noticed a vibration in the 4 cyl mode under light accelleration, Jeff mentioned and aftermarket part to disable that...I don't think I should have to pay for it, but I might try it...or maybe just trade the truck for a Toyota!

Hi Mark, I am aware of the 4cyl vibration and I can live with that for the mileage it has been getting on the highway best 22.4mpg. The driveshaft and two new tires took care of the floor/seat/gas pedal vibration I will give them that, but there is still a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Idk how they missed or did not address this you only have your hands on the wheel 100% of the time.

 

Do you know what Bridgestones they are getting us? I asked, he was not sure and i was done there. I am hoping they take care of the rest of it for me. Your vibration does sound different than mine, It was always above 50mph for me.

 

No experience with Tundra's, if i were to go another way it would be ford or see how the diesel ram 1500 is.

It would be like squeezing blood out of a turnip. I couldn't even get them to put different tires/wheels on it to see if that was the problem. I asked them to do that before I spent the money on the Michelins.

I was wondering why there are so many 4x4 trucks in Texas.

Why would you put crappy Michelins on a 4x4? Cooper AT3 are the choice.

Well add me to the list of people who are frustrated with this rediculous problem. I have brought my truck in 4 times now, I have the same GY's that it came with and enough lead weight to band ducks for the next 1,000 years. I was told yesterday(after they had it for a week) that they are replacing the driveshaft. Somehow I am not convinced this will work but oh well. At least they have offered to by it back already. I will miss her.

Side note they don't use lead for wheel weights anymore. Hope they get it fixed for you though.

Many stick on wheel balancing weights are not lead anymore, but steel. However, hammer on weights that are still used on inside of wheels on most vehicles are lead. They would be too large if they were steel. Lead is about 40% heavier than steel.

OK. Here is a new one. the Infotainment center display went out. Let it set off for 2 hours and it fixed itself. Then I walk around to the front of the truck and I notice the bumper is pitted and starting to rust. New truck design and it rusts like the last two Sierras I had. Bought truck Dec 23 2013. What have I done. I think I will get the bugs worked out and trade for another brand. Truck is in shop overnight and 6 inches of snow expected. Joy Joy.

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
