Vibration / Clunk


Recommended Posts

Posted

2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ. I have noticed a slight vibration on the gas petal well accelerating at low speeds as the transmission shift. When your heavy on the gas you don't notice it but if driving in a residential area it really stands out.

I have also noticed a clunk from the rear end after I have come to a complete stop.

My wife thinks I'm crazy but I thought I would ask if anyone else is experienceing the same issues. I love the truck other than these 2 issues.

2 or 3 times after coming to stop it has felt like someone tapped in my truck

Haven't noticed any vibration with my truck, but I definitely have that clunk you're talking about. Sounds like something is bouncing around in the bed.

2014 Silverado LT 2wd V6......shakes/vibrates between 67 and 75 MPH. Taking back to dealer. I hope its the tires out of balance.

Lots of people with the vibration problems on here. The rear end "clunk" was a common problem on the GMT-900's, I thought they had fixed that on the K2XX's though.

Left rear was .75 ounce too heavy at one spot, had 1.25 oz weight, needed .50oz to be perfect. Right rear was dead on. Didn't change a thing. The tech that checked it I've known for 25'ish years, very good. He suggested, since this is a known problem to wait a couple of months to see if GM figures it out. 99% of the time I drive under 60MPH, vibration doesn't start until 63MPH. Ok...I'll wait.

I took my 2014 GMC 1500 A/T (6.2 motor) in for its first oil change last week ... 4,200 miles. Also to have them do the recall of the 4x4 selector, and... to check out what I feel is play in the rear end, u-joints, or... trans. (We got the wife a last year (Black Diamond) Avalanche, and it shifts like butter, no matter what.)

My GMC trans is no where near as smooth... feels 'clunky' on upshifts, mostly at normal driving. Dealer changed the oil, rotated tires, did the recall work, and checked out my concern with a clunky trans. No problem found. Something isn't right in the driveline. No way my truck should shift like that an my wife's Avay shift like butter. I sold a 2012 Tundra to get this GMC ... and sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice.

    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
