They said the pico said it had two bad tires. I put a new set of michelins on it, same behavior. They put the pico on it after new tires, and said i had 1 bad tire. Took back to tire shop and they said all the tires were in spec.

 

Going back in today, the general manager said he took a truck out and verified it did not have vibration (though as far as i can tell this seems to happen after a few miles are put on truck). They are going to take the wheels and tire off new truck and put on mine then see what pico says.

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

there will never be a fix, GM won't spend the money on it.

 

anyone else notice how there are no GM reps here anymore, and haven't been in quite some time?

I just heard back from the service manager, he said they are going to put a rear end in mine. I have around 38k on it fwiw.

 

If what I am hearing in this thread and others is correct, that is not going to fix the problem. *sigh*

It might some have reported it solved the issue. Other's say 70-90% improvement, a few said that it's only a temporary improvement but the vibes come back after time, which seems to be the case more and more often on here. The dealer does something (wheels, tires, prop shaft rear end etc.) and the issue goes away only to come back in a few weeks. The trucks are just too sensitive to parts at the high end of their tolerance and when you got a truck with multiple parts at their tolerance threshold you get a vibrator. The crew cab and double cab seem to be the major offenders.

Shit. I spoke too soon. The 40-50mph vibration is gone, that was the one that felt like a rumble strip. That was fixed with new pinion, shaft & gears

.

Now I have the 70-75mph shimmy. Any solutions for that vibe/shimmy? Going back to the dealer in a few days...

We need an intervention. Hondas vibrate they get media coverage and news stories.

We need a yahoo article or a major news story to push our agenda. Shame them into a fix.

 

Again, we won't hurt GM individually. We need a way to get this blown up so that we steer new owners away from buying these shit boxes.

I've thought about trading in and getting an 06-07 2500hd with an LBZ dmax. Not as nice or quiet as my 14, but seem to have a lot less issues

If what Jesse D and other say is true, the 70-80mph shake is what will never be fixed.

 

Yes I had the same experience with the 40-50mph deceleration vibe in steering wheel...that was caused by bad rear axle. Replacing that normally fixes it, unless you get another bad axle.

 

It is sad that the only option there is, is to BBB or lemon law these trucks over and over.

 

My truck is in the shop right now, has been there for 6 days so far and engineers and supposedly looking at it. I would really like to know what they say and what they suggest to do at this point. If there are so many screwed up things with these trucks, their only option is to mask the problems right? Then when their tweaks get modified from a few bumps and normal driving, the issues come back.

 

Will just have to keep spreading the word, prevent others from buying these trucks, and keep lawyers and BBB involved until maybe the 4th or 5th truck we BBB will be the MY they actually have the issue fixed.

 

Here's to the BBB!

Hey Mike,

As you may or may not know, I started a thread about a class action suit. One of the firms came back with the mounts as being the issue but I couldn't divulge that info freely. However, now that other people have been posting about that being the cause, with the addition of dealers saying that GM isn't going to fix it. I can confirm that as the cause through the attorneys and their "inside sources". That firm would not take the case because in the eyes of the law, that is not a defect as the trucks are within warranty and SHOULD be fixed for free. Once the trucks are out of warranty, it would be considered a defect or design flaw and they then may be able to take the case. However by that point, we are way past lemon law and have to put up with the issues and still never know if they will even fix it after the lawsuit. I as well as others have heard that GM will not fix this because it would involve changing all of the mounts, meaning they have to put the trucks through all of the Government crash testing, regulation testing etc all over again. then issue a massive recall to change them on all of the roughly 1.2 million trucks sold in the 2014 and 2015 model years. Supposedly they haven't even made the fix in the 2016' so all of those people will be dealing with it as well and they will likely be coming here.

GM knows they have issues with these trucks. Dealerships have been told that if they want to be reimbursed they should not go rogue trying to find solutions without first asking permission from GM. Most dealerships will insist that they feel nothing and you are nuts. If you have lifts, levels, and/or aftermarket wheels and tires they will initially blame it on that until you remove them and then they won't be able to feel it. This is a mess, I am very suprised the media hasn't exploted this issue yet.

I see traded in 2014/15 GM trucks with less than 10,000 miles and tons of mods installed sitting at competitor dealerships everywhere. Who buys a brand new truck, mods it out with lifts, wheels, and tires and then trades it in with 8000 miles on it.

GM doesn't seem to really care about it. I think they have moved on, so if your truck has developed the dreaded shake and/or vibration and you're looking for it to be fixed by GM, don't hold your breath.

How do we get this forum link and youtube videos into the media's hands? Can I submit this to local news groups along with video evidence to support GMs craftsmanship issues and unwillingness to help. Just send it via email. Hopefully one picks up on it!

Wish someone knew a US Rep or Sen that was against bailing out GM. Or a 60 Minutes reporter

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.

      maybe when the trip is over, check all the other joints in the front end, like all the ball joints, tie rods, pitman & idler arms, etc...

      adding 360 surround view, UVI (Trailer Camera) package to UVS (Surround/invisible Trailer) Upgrade 2020 Silverado RST

      By Carlos Eduardo Silva · Posted

      Thks, and actually it was my bad, because here in this post there is someone showing the correct wire position as well. My bad... But thank you a lot with the help as well. I was able to find and buy a 10 channel VPM that came from a sister silverado of mine. The same year, same mode, same trim, same everything. 2022 Silverado 1500 LTD LTZ (pre-refresh). I also found to buy just the bottom mirror part that has the cameras, so way cheap than the full mirror. + a used front camera. I did test everything together, cameras, cables and the VPM.... everything worked EXCEPT my original Bed camera and the backup grid lines. I think the reason is because now I need to do the VPM reprogram. I sent a msg White Automotive & Media Service to confirm that it is the problem and that they can do it service for me case.   Once I get it 100% done I will post here result....
