Well people i will not tell you how i stopped my 2015 silverado crewcab from shaking as my guess General Motors could care less ! I did this on the side and it seems to work also , i upped the air pressure in my tires to 40 PSI !! She rides a little hard but that is better than trying to hold onto the sterring wheel for dear life at 70 MPH !! I liked the other fix better but my guess GM is watching my truck like a chicken hawk looking for a meal and I will not tell them , as far as i'm concerned they are way over paid !!

 

Bet I get some rude replys to this post

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

What? I am having a hard time understanding what you are even trying to say. I will try not to be "rude" but If you don't have anything constructive to say then stay quiet. There are a lot of people on this forum who have problems and would love a fix, and that doesn't have shit to do with "them' being way overpaid. Who's side are you on anyway, your own?

I believe you also called your truck a chicken? :shakehead:

Every worthless post they add keeps this thread at the top. Thank the troll by ignoring them.

Yes, they often disassemble the entire truck to replace the windshield.

Well, got a call from an 800 number today, hung up the first time, all I could hear was the background of a call center. Turned out it was GM calling about my vibration complaint. Evidently they are now using a call center to make the calls. The guy who called could barely speak English. I am so enthused about the outcome of my complaint....

I sent an email directly to Mary Barra twice and each time I have received a call from the GM executive office. Now they want me to take off the bilstien 5100's and nitto g2's, because it's procedure. They asked what I wanted and told them my money back.

This is my 5th GM truck in about 20 years and most likely my last. Hell, at this point I might even consider a Dodge..:(

Well seems like I was wrong just like the rest of the people who have the vibration. I have at this point spoke to 6-8 GM customer service people and also one manager at gm Canada. Not a single one has actually helped. They also promise to call back and never do. They are famous for saying "sorry".

 

At this point I have dealt with this problem since June last year at 7000Kms. I now have 13000kms also getting rear end noises and still no one is fixing it. 5 GM dealerships in Edmonton Alberta refuse to even look at my truck.

 

This is the product we bought. No warranty. I was told by one dealership that they will look at it if I pay the bill. What kind of BS is that?

 

I think it is time to reposess the truck and just walk away. Sick of dealing with GM!

Did you jack the truck up? Many reported vibs went away for a short time after jacking the truck up or rotating tires. Only to return later on.

Tire rotation helped for a couple of days and then it was back.

My brother sold his Chevy and got a ram 2500. Says he loves it. Says he will never buy Gm again. It's sad bc we grew up in a family that drove nothing but GM. I can't remember my parents driving anything but GM my whole life and they still do. At the age of 43 my brother was the first to buy a none GM truck haha. Now we are all sitting here looking at dodge like ....."hmmm.......maybe".

Like I have posted before. If you want to know if it is your tires or not. Put the rear of your truck up on jack stands and running It up to the speed it vibrated while driving. I bet it will still vibrate like mine did at the exact same speed. It will throw stabilitrac codes and whatnot just need to reset them when your done. Its not the tires. You have a few choices. You either fight with GM and you have the slim chance they with replace the rear end parts like a few guys have succeeded in doing or they will put 10 sets of tires on with no help. Or you trade it in. Or you bite the bullet and fix it yourself and be done with it. You can get upgrade Yukon axles for about $500. Then new gears front and rear if wanted. And while you're at it put a limited slip in. Maybe be cost $2500. cf914d6df280eaeac2f1fb01214ecae4.jpg008a86ad893d5e8eb62af656c9bdf255.jpg

Did you replace your axles and R & P? If so did it fix your problem?

Update on the 2017 All Terrain...

 

Just got word that the dealership is getting sent a "perfect set of SRA's"

 

They did find one tooth on the ring and pinion that was out of spec, driveshaft runout was fine but the interesting area is they replaced the axles. The flanges were out of spec and gave a tire 1 lateral runout reading.

 

So long story short new gears and axles and matched and staggered special tires. I feel like Cole Trickle now[emoji23]

 

I'm cautiously optimistic but they have put the time into this which speaks highly of my dealership and district rep.

I have not yet. Saving up for it. But AllTerrain13 and a few others have. I've been through this whole thread from the beginning. The only fix that appears to get rid of the vibration COMPLETELY is changing the axles and or R&P. And the occasional drive line balance and trueing.

 

I can say I am certain it will fix mine.

I had my driveline straightened and balanced which took care of about 60% of the vibrations. (Yes driveline was not true and 2.5 ounces out of balance) As of right now the vibration feels like its coming from the front end through the steering wheel and pedals. Light acceleration and light braking is where you can feel It the most. Is this similar to what you are feeling? Just curious if the F-ed up rear end could transfer through to the front end of the truck?

Not sure did it could transfer up front. But I know that my truck warps rotors every few weeks. Might have warped rotors. And my driveline is obviously not true. You can eye ball it and see it's way out.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
