If you have 20" tires, I'd just keep asking the dealer to rebalance. You could also ask to try a set of 17" or 18" tires to compare. Or put your tires on another vehicle to narrow down the source of the problem.

 

Did it, did it and did it.

I have done all this and more. At this point I do not think the vibration many describe is a tire issue. There may be a few that are but many not.

 

However from your description I would think yours is an issue with the tires since it just started.

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

I am sure other manufactures are having problems.

 

Statistics can be bent and shaped to say whatever point you want to make though.

 

Here are my statistics; 3 of the 7 2014's I have been in have the vibration issue. That would be 42% of the chevy half ton trucks.

Looking over the ill fitting rear door issues GMC and Chevy has, on the dealers lot we found about 30% of the trucks have issues.

And how does that compare to your fleet of Ford, Ram, Toyota trucks and your survey of their trucks on tose OEM lots?

 

Again, I'm not saying GM doesn't have problems, just that others have the same or worse.

Since we have two new Fords at work and 1 has a bad vibration in the rear end I would say 50% of the Fords are bad.

 

But here is the statistic that bothers me the most. Of the 7 new Chevy's I have owned in the last 30 years, 100% of the 2014's I have owned have issues I would consider major. 0% of all my older Chevy's had major issues during warranty. That is the statistic that gets me wondering if the new GM is living on and milking the old GM's reputation.

There was a tsb for under torqued pinion gear nut, could it be this issue has not completly gone away after all this nut would be fastened by a nut runner tool these days! If the tools readings showed good torque, but no counter quality check or recalibration of tool was done then you could have a batch or range of under torqued parts.

DC tools are great for accuracy, as long as critical fasteners are tested manualy aginst the tools readings.

After all a tools readings are digitaly achieved by the ability to reach torque, angle, and run out.

If someone can locate that TSB or equivalent document for the date issued or the "range affected"

Tires are only part of the problem for most of us. I feel that tires may have helped some, but there is a secondary issue for most folks here at play.

I notice my vibe more at around 70 to 80 km. Gm is going to lose on these trucks. Ram will be # 2 in no time if gm keeps this up.my geuss is that they will be next to giving these away soon. After all you can really call them government motors!

Just an update from this am. I just drove about 24 miles, mostly highway. I brought the truck up to 70 and set the crusie control the whole way and the truck drove very nice. Yeserday was not the case however. It was much warmer yesterday than this am, and I really never started being bothered by vibration until the warmer weather started hitting (I bought my truck at the begining of Feb). Could warmer temps have somehting to do with these vibration issues or no?

I have seen problems with tires that had a loose steel belt. The longer you drove and the warmer it was outside, the hotter the tires got and the worse the vibration got. So yes, there could be a correlation here between ambient temperature, length and speed of driving, and vibration.

Hey neighbor I live near alliston, I guess we have something in common both have vibration in our trucks.

That is where I have it also.

Does anyone have viberation when letting off on the gas to slow down? I am having this problem! I have not brought the truck in for the last recall on the transmission. I am hoping this will be the issue.

Mine will be going in next week to get checked out. Vibrates from 55-65mph. Smooths out until 77mph. I spoke with the dealership and they've had no one complain about vibrations. We'll see what happens. They better get it right or I'll be going elswhere to buy my CTSV Wagon.

Add me to the list. 2014 Silverado LTZ Doublecab 4x4, GoodYears. Took the highway on the way home from the dealership upon purchasing it and immediately had a bad vibration. Brought it back the next day. They kept it for 2 days. Replaced 1 "bad" tire. On the ride home, I noticed the vibration was much less but not fixed. Brought it back 2 days later. They had it a few more days. They said they replaced the axle. Did not fix it. The truck has an annoying vibration mainly in the 40-50 mph range. It does have vibration in other ranges but I can deal with that. This is my 6th consecutive new GM truck and most likely my last. This truck is the WORST driving truck I have ever owned!!!

If you cant beat them, then join them! Take a look at nissan, with there titan truck. Not saying that is anything special, but when dodge took them for a ride with a partnership that went down the drain. They didnt rush a new pick up, to keep in line with the other auto makers. They are waiting untill they can get it right! I will be very intrested to see the new titan with the 5.0 liter V8 cummins diesel. That will be a mean truck!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
