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

Mine did it exactly from 20 to 30 mph . Wouldn't do it before 20 or after 30 . Before I got rid of it I was starting to feel it on the freeway periodicaly " the harmonic sound and vibration"

It had about 6000 vibrating miles when I got rid of it .

The local dealer is practically giving Silverados away today haha

Is the sign vibrating to make new owners feel at home ?

He replaced his with a RAM, I went Tundra. But most of the members who have opted out have gone RAM. I had only one option as RAM and Ford are too tall for my garage.

If I had to replace mine today would be a Tundra. Just a good proven truck only dislike is the fuel mileage.I came from a Tundra and had no problems at all just liked the looks of the Sierra and the 10k off the sticker. Toyota is behind on style and options but they stick with a design that works and want change the Tundra until 2019. If its not broke no need to change it.

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

There are links on mine and Jesse D sig. lines ;)

The Tundra is a great Truck and I think you made a great choice to . I've had almost every truck over the years and have learned they all have some skeletons in there closet . The objective I've also learned with wisdom is to try and pick the one with the least scariest ones and unfortunately GM has one in the closet the size of King Kong with 10"fangs and they can't tame the beast lol .

It's a shame because other then that lol it to this day is the sexiest truck on the market in my honest opinion "Looks Wise"

Agreed, I'd say they are 5 years behind in the electronics department but it is a stable platform. And I have been getting 16.4 MPG around town so I am happy with the fuel economy. It is in the same range as the 6.2 SIlverado I was driving.

Trust me, if they could have gotten me one that drove like this Tundra I'd be all over it. I love all the little bells and whistles but the vibration was a deal breaker.

Yeah I'm with you but with that being said I'm beyond happy with my Ram .

What a great truck it's so much fun and enjoyable to drive I look forward to driving it every chance I get . The complete opposite experience I had with my Silverado. Every time I drove it I seemed to have a form of road rage even if there was no one on the road lol because the truck made me so mad and GM .

Not bad at all on the mileage.

Shakes/vibrations definitely a bad problem for those that have them but no one really knows how wide spread keeping in mind that hundreds of thousands have been sold.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
