Apparently, that 500 mile rule, if it is valid, only applies to adjustments such as alignment or wheel balance. If your truck does not start at 100 miles, then they obviously must fix it.

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

They said GM does not authorize anyone to work on the truck until at least 500 miles.

My dealer had to balance my tires at 12 miles. It had the vibration so I refused to accept delivery until they resolved it. Dealer never mentioned this 500 mile thing.

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 5.3 crew cab All Terrain Package with this same vibration. I have had it at the dealer twice now with the first time the service writer telling me it was the nature of the beast and the second time the right front tire being replaced but no success. I have now asked the dealer to support me as my issue is not with them but with GM and have asked to have a sit down with a zone rep. I love the style and ride of the truck but if I want to drive a vehicle with a vibration I will get on one of my Harleys. I have yet to hear back from the dealer but will call tomorrow, in addition I will be filing a claim with the BBB and blowing up every message board possible stating facts until this issue is either resolved or GM buys my truck back. I prefer keeping my truck but fully willing and able to take the matter to arbitration/litigation if need be. I suggest everyone else having this problem follows suits as there is strength in numbers! Good luck to everyone that is having this same issue and hope resolution turns out well for you.

mine does that as well as others. My dealer told me its normal that other same equipped trucks do the same. Not sure I believe that but that's why we have the warranty.

Anybody have the motor shimmed with success. I've seen a couple folks claim it solved their problems on other forums and it was mentioned once early on here, but that's it.

Tried driving in town in tow mode. Drone is gone at low speeds. Will try tomorrow on highway speeds. Lower mpg but who cares. No vibration. No top speeds are listed in the book for tow mode.

Read the thread. There are many with the problem. No fix.

You have just made the $50,000 mistake.

Mine does not have any acceleration vibration. No vibration at all actually. All Terrain crew cab with 3.42's and 20's with crap goodyears. That one could be loose plug wire I bet.

try accelerating hard like 10 to 15 mph then stab it like you want to get up and around somebody.

I'll try that later today. If that is when it is happening to you then I would suspect a bad u-joint or incorrectly installed joint. I say that because when you accelerate hard like that the rear end twists the pinion into a higher angle which could make an existing problem worse.

Will let you know what I find.

My 6.2 with 373s also has that vibration on a harder acceleration, to me it feels like it goes with the RPM of the engine like possibly could be the flex plate out of balance or torque converter. It just feels like the engine is out of balance, but also I think I only feel it in first gear then when it shifts to second its gone. The weird thing is I don't think it vibrates in park when the engine is revved. I will mess around with it a little and see if I can narrow it down

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.
