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

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
