I've never heard 15 lbs ever, thats half the industry standard

The Michelins that are now on my truck meet the 15 lb spec. My truck no longer vibrates. The tires were replaced under warranty. It has been mentioned numerous times in this thread, sometimes by me, that this is the spec for these trucks.

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

And that was my question, if GM specifies a specific tolerance that is in excess of industry standard to meet warranty - I believe that they have to supply the product free of charge....

In my case warranty covered it all. The crap Bridgestone Duellers were sent back to manufacturer and Michelin Defenders were installed because they are a very good tire. I drive my truck every day 130 kph smooth as glass. I think in my case GM realized it was cheaper to buy good tires over buying back my truck.

The Michelins did nothing for me except look nice. Still vibrates.

I also had it tuned, 2 new rear ends and a new drive shaft. so it was more than tires on mine. I'm just glad mine was finally fixed. It also has been said on this thread that there is more than one cause for this vibration problem.

Last post for me about 2014 Silverado. My nightmare is over. History, 3 different sets of tires and 1 set of new rims = vibration and shaking 95% gone however since that was fixed I've been thru erratic idling like miss firing intermittently, crunching in the front end when going over bumps, harsh slam shifts 2nd to third gear. Non of which the dealer has been able to fix. My truck has been in the shop at least 20 times and only 30,000 km's on the truck. I'm am done and traded it in on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma DBCSB. Never buying a Chevy, Ford or Dodge ever again. Losses are 2yrs of payments as I have to start over again. Oh well, good by Chevy go die at the Levy....Hello Taco....

Last Night I bought a preowned GMC Sierra 1500 and today I noticed the rear left part of the truck vibrates. I was going to take it in to the dealer tomorrow. I have the remaining balance of the warranty transferred.

What should I tell the dealership tomorrow?

Take it back. Bitch about it. Hand them the keys. Live a happier life. Trust me. Bought mine the same way. Poop storm fighting to get it fixed as it is. Certified Pre-Owned should have a 3 day / 150 mile satisfaction guarantee. Dump that truck, get a new one or something different entirely. Edited by severado

Toyota may be owned by the Japs but a large portion of our trucks are assembled in Mexico. Remember the Alamo? Vehicles are global and have been for years. GM and Ford are building factories in China and India. If they were such great American companies then they would assemble all vehicles here in the US and employee more Americans but they don't. I'm all for supporting American manufacturers but on the flip side they should do their part to support American workers. How can foreign owned companies assemble some of their vehicles here and employee American workers which in turn spend their paychecks in their community businesses which in turn spend that money etc. while American owned companies choose to assemble their trucks in other companies and send them back here to be sold?

The Tacoma has more US/Canadian content than the Silverado/Sierra. 60% vs 45%, respectively.

First post here. Long story short, I've been following this thread for about 6 months, as I've got a shaker. Dealer does the usual, tires tires tires. Today I removed the rear drive shaft, put a bag over the transfer case output to catch most of the fluid that I knew it would sling, drove a couple of miles at the worst speeds for my vibration (45 and 65), and observed the vibration to be completely absent with the rear drive shaft removed.

 

I just finished refilling my transfer case, and am now thinking about where to go next with what I'm telling the dealer. I'm thinking it might be related to pinion angle.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
