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 can't believe you said that. The 900s are by far the best generation truck GM has made. I went from an 09 to a 2014(worst generation) back to a 2009 Avalanche.

 

800's 2500 series they are the bone that wouldn't break!

Check out ThisTruckSucks.com. It is a new website dedicated to the #GM #Chevrolet #GMC vibration issue.

Yes he (I) is. I am very irritated that GM is ignoring this problem and I will not go away until they address it.

I absolutely loved my 900. It never let me down, easy to mod, never vibrated, even with 20" rims. Mine was not loaded as much as I would have liked. I went shopping, and brought home my '17. My '13 maintained it's value, too. I also love this one. It has all of the options I wished my other one had.

The 2013 GMC SIERRA Denali is the best truck one can buy in my opinion. The rear disks are a breeze to change and last forever, the perfect diff gear ratio, heated and cooled seats that are actually comfortable. I mean its by far the best truck for the money and they are harder and harder to find and maintain their value so well.

Well add me to the list. I put all terrain tires on my new turn at 2 k miles. All has been fine until I turned 14 k miles. Now The truck shakes and vibrating starting around 65 mph. Had it at tire shop all day and after multiple road force testing and even putting on new tires. Truck shakes and vibrates still. Dropping off at dealer next week. Crap.

I rented a 2017 Suburban this week for a vacation to Maggie Valley and man, this thing shakes exactly like my 14 truck that was bought back.. It starts to come in at around 72 and is at it's worst around 78. I haven't posted in this thread since I got into a 2500 because bc I haven't experienced this since. Quite disappointed to say the least... This is an LTZ 4wd, 5.3, 6 speed, 3.08. Between the shakes and the buffeting in the cab when it goes into V4 around 40 mph or so, I'd never even consider another k2 half ton anything!

I towed a trailer with my 2017 6.2 from MA to NH and on the way back home I started getting a vibration between 70-75 MPH. It comes and goes while towing. Only time I have felt any shake in a K2 is now. I have 12k miles on the truck. I have to investigate the trailer and make sure its not something with that since it only shakes while towing. Its not a consistent shake either.

OK, took my '15 in to a different and larger Chev dealer last Wed and passed along the history about the many trips to the

other dealer with many road force balances and same old standard canned response of "in specs". Stay tuned for the results.

 

Much has been discussed and many areas pointed out or parts changed on this vibration subject.

NOW...can a common comparison give us any new information?

 

Assembly plants...Ft. Wayne or Mexico (Mine is MX)

2WD vs 4WD (Mine is 4WD)

Reg cab vs Double cab vs Crew cab (Crew here)

Gear ratio...3.73-3.42-3.23-3.08 (Mine is 3.23 and shake still in the 72-84mph range)

Engine size...4.3-5.3-6.2 (6.2 here)

Wheel size...17"-18"-20"-22" (Mine is 20")

Tire Mfg...(Good Year LS-2 here)

Transmission...6-sp or 8sp (8-sp here)

Any other thoughts or ideas??????

Don't really know that answer Gassamax. Postings have been for the 1500 series as I recall.

 

Since nearly all the shake and vibration issues have been at the highway speeds of 70-85mph range

my take would put the problem starting in the rear end out to the wheel and tire itself since all gear ratios

are involved. The drive shaft, transmission, converter, etc. would spin at different speeds but the

shake stays in the same rpm range. Also the stock tire diameter (height) remains quite constant at

around 31" no matter which wheel size 17", 18", 20", or 22" is mounted.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced   https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By GAMark · Posted

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
