Mine is there now...same issues as everyone here. Same fixes offered. 4th time going..Dont hold your breath..

I don't have vibration issues, so I haven't been there for that specifically. That being said, at least they are trying to fix it for you. Ancira would not even attempt fixes for any of the other small things I brought my truck in for.

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

Don't get me wrong. I like Cavender, They only sell the truck and try to fix it. But when the service manager pretty much blew me off about the info I learned on the internet, I felt she knew about the issues. They and all the rest are selling a product which they know has a defect and are betting on people laying down and putting their tail between their legs. Not happening here. Don't think anyone on here has had the issue fixed by any dealership.

My new 2015 GMC Sierra SLT All Terain 5.3ltr. 18"wheels. 6 speed trans.

Is there any connections to what engine, tire size, trim level or anything else that would maybe try to pin this down? Mine just started doing the shudder today (630 miles). Have anyone heard of the 2016's having this problem yet? If I can't get this fixed I am going to try and get a 2016 to replace it. It's a no money down lease so I can just walk away from it if I have to even thou I got a good deal when purchased. Someone at GM has to know something by now, this has been going on too long.

No direct link between engine size, trim, tire size, tire brand, etc. Most guys have it real bad with the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires, I have the Eagle LS-2's. I think most people have it real bad with double and crew cabs due to the hydraulic body mounts on the rear of the cab.

 

I think these parts are fine (for the most part) they just don't meet the tight specs of such a stiff frame with nothing to absorb the imperfections. Something to do with cab mounts and engine mounts, more so the cab mounts cause the HD trucks have been on the same frame since 2011 with no issues until the k2 body was set on top of it, kinda makes you wonder

I test drove a 2016 two weeks ago, I'm driving a Tundra now. If you can walk away at no cost you should give it serious consideration.

 

And i've been a Chevy guy since 1979. Now I have a Toyota and a Mercedes in my garage.

If this is body mounts or something like you are saying wouldn't the shudder have been there from the beginning? My truck road smooth until today as I was taking a longer trip and now it even does it on the same shorter trip that I have done at least six times before with no shudder. So far other then that I love the truck. I has a 2013 before this one and it was flawless. I do have the Wrangler tires also.

My brother test drove a 15 crew cab today because he wants a Silverado instead of his 15 Colorado now... Needless to say, the dealer was right on the highway and I told him to take it for a ride on 75. When he came back he said the whole console and seat were shaking like crazy. He told me the salesman said the truck has been sitting a while and it was just the tires! I told him to forget about it and we left.

This is a quote from the original poster.

So I got it back from the dealer today and was told they test drove one from the lot and it had the same vibration and possibly even worse then mine. I was told GM admits there is a problem but at this time no solution. I was told to wait until there's a solution or the problem progresses.

 

Over 2 years now and still throwing parts at them.

 

I went back and looked through the first 10 pages and GM customer service was all over it. They have been a no show for some time now.

I think they know the problem but will cost them to much to fix it.

No vibs in mine (yet). With so many replies and views you would think someone would come up with a fix! There are smart people at GM that is why they don't have a fix.It would cost GM a boatload of $$$$.Cut their own throats.Now .. Maybe...If .... We if we had a reward of some sort it would up the Annie. Someone knows, they are not telling. ..Maybe start with a vib truck and start stripping her down and adding custom replacement parts until the vibs stopped!...Got any ideas????... Read one post where the truck didn't vib after being jacked up and wheels R +R. Let's figure this out. Think! Think! I have been. Someone be a Hero for this topic!

What shudder are you talking about? This thread is dedicated to the shake and vibration issues a lot of people seem to be having, not a shudder issue. If you could describe it maybe that will help me understand your issue.

 

I know a lot of people have had shudder issues with both the 6 and 8 speed transmissions

From what I can feel I call it a shudder but it is a shake or vibration in the whole truck not a "shudder" in the trans that is different. Almost feels like cold over inflated tires on a bad road. Just came back from a trip and it seemed to last the whole trip (about 80 miles) home on the highway doing between 60 and 70mph. I can feel it in the steering wheel but not that much. Mostly it is the whole truck that has like a vibration in it. I even tried shifting into neutral and coasted at 60 mph and it did not make a difference so I think that would rule out the engine balance. My passenger felt it right away. I hope GM is at least working on this problem. Something has to be off somewhere.

We need to get organized and maybe take a trip to Chevrolet and get media involved. Nothing will happen till it gets out there....

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
