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

Sorry Jesse

 

Thought I had posted some. I need to get a few new ones now that it is all done up the way I want it. But this is how it looked right off the lot.

Interesting.

The truck recommends 32psi on all 4. I wouldnt think the PSI in the tires could have that much effect??

Anyone have an issue with the BBB just not getting back to them? Ive been working with them for 6 months now and we are finally down to the last step which is arbitration I believe yet no one has called me in 4 weeks and I call/email every couple of days with no response. Im getting extremly annoyed with the BBB and their lack of customer service....they are almost as bad as GM! I guess you get what you dont pay for!

I have a 2015 6.2L LTZ 4x4 Crewcab. Took it in for an oil change (second change, mileage 12k) this past Monday and service rep upon pulling my truck up on his PC said "you've got three recalls, want to get them done while its here". I said sure. Picked my truck up yesterday. All three recalls had to do with the 4x4 drive.

 

Bulletin 15389: torque converter clutch shudder. Transmission controll module reprogrammed.

 

Bulletin 15396: harsh shift when starting in low temperatures. Replaced transmission controll wiring harness.

 

Bulletin 15304: 4WD always engaged in cold ambient temperatures. Reprogram transfer case control module.

 

Btw, I personally have not experienced any of the recall problems. But, I live in the Dallas area and I have not as yet had a reason to use 4WD. just thought I would share the info, especially being one of the recalls addressed a shudder problem.

Need some help here.

 

Purchased a 15 Silverado 1500

 

I have noticed vibration when driving at highway speeds

 

They balanced my tires and and did an alighment.....I am still running into the same issue.

 

I am going to take it to the dealer tomorrow, is there anything specific I should ask/tell them to get my vechicle fixed? This is only happening at highway speeds.

 

You can either read through all 464 pages of posts on this forum, or just pray. Most people that have not had luck after balance, new tires, RF balance, have moved on to BBB or lemon law to have their truck bought back.

My truck (2015 Sierra All Terrain) recommends 35lbs. in all four tires.

 

EDIT: I have 265/65's on 18" rims.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.
