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....

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's not what I was talking about.   I have not seen it specifically documented that bottom of the hatched area equates to "1 quart low".    I've never measured or compared a dipstick reading at the bottom of the acceptable range, added 1 quart, took a new reading and it be exactly at the top of the range.   My view of the manual is if it is BELOW the mark, add one quart at a time until the level is within the hatched area, 1 quart could put it 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 all the way there. I don't know, none of mine have been BELOW the mark to require adding any to find out.   However, if over 400 miles it takes multiple quarts to keep it in the hatched area, yes, that is a problem.   EDIT: None of my vehicles have ever been to the bottom of the range, every check shows them give or take somewhere on the top half of range. (I might even challenge my own memory and say at worst the top 3/4s.)   Never to the bottom, much less below the "add" mark, so I've never added 1 quart to see how much it moves the level up the stick. Circling back to my point, the volume coming out is less than what everyone suggests my dipstick readings should be indicating.    If from the top to bottom mark of the hatched area equates to 1 quart of oil, I would see the dipstick reading (on every vehicle I've touched in the last 30 years) be at the top of the mark when I fill with new oil and be at the bottom just prior to changing; based on what I am measuring in the drain pan. However, the dipstick readings are NOT showing that amount of drop. See above.

      Adding Autosense Hands Free to Powered Hatch / OR Anyone have Experience with Aftermarket Hands Free Sensor?

      By fsu_prov · Posted

      Anyone have any experience with adding the autosense module to a high trim suburban/tahoe?    2026 Chevy Suburban High Country - Did not have the "tech pkg" but does have the High Country Deluxe pkg. Absolutely wild this is not a standard feature.    OEM route - if it's already a powered hatch, has anyone tried to install the module for the hands free and tried to get GM to reprogram the BCM?    Aftermarket route - if OEM is impossible or too much of hassle, does anyone have any experience with aftermarket hands free sensor options?     I know Ensight Automotive does the conversions, and I've read a little about ISS Automotive. Any experience with these options/vendors?

      Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP - 12 Quarts - $50

      By nominion · Posted

      I purchased these two 6 quart boxes of Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP for my 2018 GMC Sierra with the intent to change the fluid, but I never got a chance as I sold the truck in 2021.  Both boxes have been in my garage ever since and are new and have not been opened.  Asking $50 for local pickup/meet in the Western PA area.  I can probably ship, but that would be at the buyer's expense.

      P219B after AFM delete on stock cam, already had a Trifecta AFM-disable tune. Need a retune or is it something else?

      By TQUAP · Posted

      Unfortunately the most I can speak to how everything was reassembled is that I have used Joe quite a bit and he's always proven knowledgable, capable and honest. As to individual things he did I just can't say. I do know that he was under a time crunch to get all of this done and personally if I were in that situation I know I would be more susceptible to making minor mistakes. Though he did tell me he took the truck on an extended test drive after buttoning everything up and it did not throw a code for him.   With everything I know about the situation and as a layman, if I had to hazard a guess I'd say there's a non-trivial chance something minor that was overlooked. I was kind of hoping to narrow it down to a smaller subset of possibilities so I could have a more useful conversation with him.   A DOD-delete cam did come with the kit and the pictures Joe provided of the job indicate it was installed.   To my knowledge all O2 sensors are OEM. I purchased the truck at 75k miles about a year ago and the sensors were never replaced under my ownership.   On the intake gaskets, I supplied the parts and I did specifically purchase and give Joe all new gaskets to install. Anything that was indicated to be one time use, I purchased a new one of and supplied to him.

      Shopping for new truck and have question.

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Double trust, huh?   I hear ya.   Side note, one can get trust off the internet. I belong to a Pontiac message board such as this. I sold a complete  running Pontiac 455 that I built in the late `80`s. Most won`t touch a complete engine. Especially an older one. The dude offered me $500 more than I was asking. He paid the truck freight to Lubbock TX. All I did was build a crate for it.   I told the dude he was ballsy. He says, "I trust you".
