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

All you have to do is send them the link to the vibration thread along with some video links from youtube! Give them your short story on what you have experienced

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

This ^^^ is why there's little to no chance of any media outlet picking up this story and running with it. GM is basically a gov't owned entity now and IMO the gov't will ultimately control what the media reports and what they don't. Big gov won't shoot themselves in the foot on this one folks. My thoughts are we can all pretty much forget about this becoming a main stream media issue. And we are left to deal with this issue ourselves. Again this is just my opinion and we all know what opinions are like. : ) Edited by cato

GM paid everything back that they borrowed from the govt plus interest

Curious why more people are not taking advantage of the BBB. We have seen what they will do for you at not cost to you. Why not take advantage of that ? If my dealer wasn't already doing MSRP trade assist for me I am sure I would be speaking with the BBB. And I probably will if I go through the same issue with my 2016 when it gets here, unless my dealer moves me to a 2017 after that lol

If I didn't need my truck for work I would be back and forth to the dealer but I need it for work so I have to work it around my busy schedule. May just trade it in and be done

This is becoming a second full time job for us too! Second truck, second attempt already - it's starting to get old!

I ain't got time for a second job lol. I don't wanna take another chance with another k2 gm truck. I'm not giving up on them, but for right now I think it's in my best interest to look into a Ram or Ford 2500 (heard the gm HD k2 have the same vibe issues as well)

Didn't know that. So then the gov't has no hand in GM whatsoever now?

My bad. Apologies.

 

Now it makes me wonder why doesn't the media pick this up and run with it???

 

Thanks

A buddy of mine got his 2015 2wd 5.3 CC silverado a couple weeks after i got my 2015 z71 4wd, he already took the offer to have the truck exchanged based on engine vibration and got a new 15 2wd 5.3 identical to one he originally purchased. I am glad to see our local dealer is willing to work with him on that.

 

I will be taking mine in next week, My 2015 silverado z71 4wd 5.3L has 2200 miles and it has major hesitation speeding up from 45mph to 65mph. Once it finally downshifts to 5th or 4th gear it will get up to speed. When it goes back into 6th it will make a loud clunk sound you can hear and feel in the cabin. I am able to replicate this every time. Dealer wont take in for service till next week.

 

Anyone else experiencing that this transmission problem ?

Hmm, I wouldn't say that. The gov't has their hands in everything, from CAFE to safety to emissions, from NHTSA to DOT to EPA at the very least.

I just bought a 2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ. It has 1100 miles on it and I am feeling the EXACT vibration in the steering wheel, pedals and floorboards that you are. My dealer said they have never heard of this issue before and recommended I let it "Break In" or "Learn" before I brought it in to get it diagnosed. I will wait until my first oil change before I get it diagnosed, but from what I have read here, this is an issue that GM has not resolved yet.

I also get the "Clunk" sound when the truck shifts when I am getting up to speed quickly, but I cannot replicate it everytime.

You're good bud. And I wouldn't say the gubment doesn't have a say in what gm does. Probably told them to make the trucks shake and vibrate [emoji23]

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
