don't hold your breath

 

 

Had tires rotated with oil change Tuesday - still no vibrations. The AC Compressor was all ****ed up though, which would explain why my AC has been piss warm. I mentioned it to them, and they said they would look at it - I thought maybe it just wasn't charged or whatever. They put the dye through it, and it was leaking all over the place. New one on order, kind of odd for a truck with 8k 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

looks like you're one of the lucky few, hopefully it stays that way for your sake

Well the dealership called me today and said the truck was ready. They sent GM the readings and GM said there was nothing wrong with the truck, it was in spec. I sure hope that is the case but after what the technician said Monday I'm not sure. After he changed the ring and pinion on Monday he said it didn't change it much. I guess if it still has the shake's I'll start the process. If I start a case I'll be seeking advice from those that have already had the experience.

Drove my truck on the highway, have another slight vibe around same speeds as before (76+) and now i also notice if i accel in 6th gear from 70 up to 76 i have a slight vibe as well as a vibe on decel at any speed 80-65ish

 

My guess is ring and pinion but im getting tired of all these issues. Was about to throw some new wheels and tires on her cause i thought everything had been solved but im not sure about down the road reliability on this truck

I have noticed that the vibe is different with the changing of weight in the truck. Additionally, I was in traffic and doing a long stretch of between roughly 17-27 mph the vibe was just like the vibe I get at 76

(link to my 76 mph vibe here) the truck feels like its shaking side to side, and as though the transmission is clunky, kind of like the truck doesn't know what gear it wants to be in. This is the first time I've noticed it like this, but I'm also rarely driving at a constant 21 MPH. So basically I have different vibes at different speeds, has anyone noticed this vibe though?

 

Now to update on the lawyer, I spoke with the attorney yesterday, he is still combing through all of the information I sent him last week, but I got the impression that he felt it was a very good case and that we have a lot in our favor. No word for sure yet though, I'll keep everyone updated on that.

 

This also happened to me. I remember lightly tapping the gas (traveling around 10mph), letting off the gas slightly, then hitting the gas again..and the transmission felt like it freaked out...like it got stuck in 5th gear and the truck wouldn't accelerate...made loud noise and vibrations...similar to those felt during V4 mode. This has happened only once on my truck to this degree...but a handful of times where it only made the noise for a short time...letting off the gas and re-applying it gets rid of the condition. Definitely like the trans gets tripped up and doesn't know what to do.

I don't know about your state, but my state you have to go through the process of going through the BBB first and than you can get an attorney after the BBB hearing.

this is a very weird and poorly built truck.... can't wait to be done with it. I did try braking and re applying the gas, but the vibe stuck around in mine, not sure what the deal was

I know this is from the previous generation of trucks but it is still extremely interesting

After reading this post earlier in the week I thought id give it a try. My truck is a 2014 double cab z71. I have a 2" leveling kit and replaced the stock tires with Michelin LTX at tires. my truck has the 45 mph to 55mph vibration and it is the worst between 50 and 55. I picked up 1/2 a cord of fire wood this morning and headed home on a 40 mph road and the wheel did not vibrate at all. Then i jumped on the interstate for a few miles to test it and sure enough the vibration was 80% - 90% gone. If i wasn't looking for the steering wheel vibration i most likely would not have noticed it at all.

With my shitty luck, I cannot believe I have not noticed any vibration with my truck. My frame coating peeled off , and I live in MN where they put as much salt on the road as there is snow. Maybe I just haven't hit the right conditions? Maybe I need a full tank and need to drive 80+? Does it ever happen later for some people, like after 20k? Reading through this makes me feel blessed that I don't have this issue. It does make the frame coating issue seem like nothing. Man I really hope you all get it figured out.

Just completed the BBB Autoline process. In my case, a losing effort. Even though I had my ducks lined up; contact detail, copies of RO's, even videos, when 5 adults piled into the truck for a test drive that suppressed most of the vibration the arbitrator said I didn't reach the "substantial" level for the state of Ohio Lemon Law. He admitted he felt the vibration just as most everyone in the forum has described, but he thought I was too sensitive.

I referenced this forum with nearly 800K hits and this really put the GM reps on the defensive. GM was also silenced when I referenced their advertisements quoting how the truck rides like a luxury car.

There appears to be a problem with these trucks, but GM refuses to admit it, as many others here have noted.

It would be interesting to see real stats on the numbers of formal complaints the BBB is handling with this issue.

I'm more interested if anyone has hired an attorney and what the costs/outcome was going that route. My situation hasn't escalated that far but I would imagine it would be easier.....

If that's the case, why don't all trucks vibrate the same? Only some percentage of trucks sold have the vibration problem, proving that instead of design issue, there is a batch of defective parts that were installed on these trucks, be it tires, hubs, axles, or transmissions.

They aren't the ONLY culprit, but quality control is clearly not a strong point for GM lately. The fact that they can't find any real "problems" aside from a million random fixes is astonishing.

      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.

      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....
