They wouldn't touch this thread with a 10' pole. That tells me they know there is a problem....

You know why that tech isn't on this thread? Bc GM is actually acknowledging, silence is consent! They don't want that tech saying anything that might be used in court.. The minute they seen this forum say lawyers, they pulled that techs plug.. You know what this forum and it's members need.... Visibility, like news worthy visibility, I'm not talking local, I'm talking 60 minutes, investigative...

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

I've been poking and prodding to at least 10 auto rags, newspapers and online auto news sites. One reply so far with a guy asking to experience the vibration himself. He even said he was going to be in LA, Las Vegas and Detroit - I just needed to find someone. He has different contacts at GM than any of these "engineers" or anyone else that's been involved. If you are interested red, let me know.

Do we have a count of how many trucks on here are affected? Whom is the right reporter?

 

Since this isn't endangering anyones life my bet is no one really cares.

GM is fully aware of the problem, after I sent them a nasty response to their how is everything going inquiry after my first service/vibration repair attempt I got a call from a GM rep that told me they are aware of the vibration issues and are working on a fix and expect one soon. I believe it to be bull shit to pacify their unhappy customers but I guess time will tell, I really wish I would have recorded that conversation but they caught me off guard at work when they called especially since I was never expecting a response in the first place.

You said it, no one in danger of dying, no one cares. GM wont care until it affects their profits if it ever does.

OmahaBen is correct, no one died....YET!. However, the phone calls that members have gotten are just to pacify and quiet the masses. Im retired military of 29 years. I've always told my soldiers that the reason our organization is successful is because of THEM!! NOT me. That being said, until a GM Vice President of sales, service or wherever calls and contacts one of the forum members here with this problem, nothing will ever change. GM, will put together some half-hearted fix and say they've done something. There's a member who has someone with contacts, that's good, even great, but he/she is a GM rep... Their loyalty is to that company we know that.

What we as GMC/Chevy truck owners need is visibility, national visibility. Until the little men speak and stand up to be heard, NOTHING will ever change. We have to make them change, one way or the other. Im gonna do some research here in WA, I know one of our news channels has an investigative reporter, maybe he can point me in the right direction...

I regret buying this hecho de Mexico shit box on wheels, I traded a great trouble free Nissan in on it and should have waited for the new Titan XD with the 5 liter cummins. If GM doesn't fix it soon I'm jumping brands back to Nissan or Toyota and never looking back.

I went from factory 20's to aftermarket 20's am i pissing into the wind if I bring my truck in for the vibration issue?

Some dealers have still worked on trucks even with aftermarket parts, others will tell you to pound sand and come back with the truck in original configuration, I kept all my oem parts and put everything back to stock and it didn't change the vibration, that the dealer ultimately deemed operating/vibrating within spec. Unfortunately the dealers hands are tied because GM wont pay them for warranty work unless they vibrate above a certain spec on the PICO scope.

You know, I haven't experienced what the others have. But from what I've read. I'd be livid, I'm pretty crafty with my writing, and verbiage. I'll go straight to the top.. Nothing could stop me.. Just bc I don't have a problem, I'm gonna do my damdest to help. I just need to figure out a good number that reflects the amount affected by this problem...

I believe one of the other sites. maybe silveradosierra.com took a survey and it was a 50/50 split from the respondents. There are quite a few sites that have similar threads but nothing like the size of this one.

Yeah, I just googled Sierra vibration issues. A site popped up showing that this issue may have first surfaced around 2013.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
