Well I have decided to post my problem. I will begin to say my dealer is doing everything right so far. They have had it in 3 times and the shake is still present. My shake come from going from v4 to v6. I can tell when my truck is lugging in v4 mode because my truck starts to shake. I will watch the tach jump 2-300 rpms (going back into v6 mode I have a work truck so no indicator) then it rides as smooth as a truck should. My dealer feels it and just opened up a file with GM. I will let everyone know the outcome.

I only got the shake after 80 mph . After the complete reared was replaced after that I got a very bad vibration in the steering wheel because of the new rearend . Then I had a new ring and pinion replace ( GM has problems with the ring and pinions ) the new part made things a little better also had shocks replace ,wheels balance etc. still have a small vibration in the steering wheel the dealer can't fix . It's amazing that with all the mechanics that GM has no one can figure out the vibration problems.

I have a 2015 GMC SLT 6.6L 2500HD.

I have had a shimmy/vibration since day one. Most noticeable at 25mph then again at 70mph thru 80mph. Speed limit on Idaho interstate is 80mph. It seems to be most noticeable at around 1750rmp. Multiple trips to dealer for investigation. Tires and wheels exchanged, drive shaft exchange. Vibration analysis equipment installed. Finally told the vibration is within specifications. I have driven other trucks that are as smooth as glass. Yes I am aware it's a truck and the ride can be harsh on rough surface roads, but it should rattle the mirrors and passenger seat on its mounts on perfectly smooth interstate. I was luck enough to get a lemon.

Having a shake or vibration poll tells me there's a problem with GM trucks I currently have a 2014 gmc that had a very bad shake at 80 mph after a new complete rear end and a new ring and pinion I now have a vibration in the steering wheel I would like to have the option to have no shake or vibration.

Just got back from the dealership about my vibration/shake. They did what GM told them to do and it still has the problem. GM told them to drive another v6 on the lot and it had a similar vibration, although not near as bad. GM said it was the nature of the beast with the v6 and AFM. If it is nature of the beast wouldn't it have been that way since day 1? Service manager was awesome stating he would be upset too if it was his truck. Called GM customer care and started a process of trying to get some help. Hopefully I can get some type of assistance, but I'm not holding my breath. Just not having a great feeling about this, unfortunately!

Well I was supposed to be contacted by GM yesterday between 4 and 5. Apparently I am not worth a call. I traded my truck in and bought a Nissan, one of the hardest things I have done. I am 33 and have always driven and been around GM product (grandfather started Montgomery Automotive A/C Delco parts distibutor). Hopefully when I am ready for another truck, I will look at GM. Right now I am really happy with my decision.

Well that sucks your ordeal had to turn out this way. How can GM say the V6 to V4 mode vibration is normal, no way, they are crazy to expect people to think that is normal. Luckily my 14 switches between V8 and V4 mode without me hardly noticing. I only have a slight pedal vibration at +70 mph. I can understand you going to a different brand. My wife had some issues with an Acadia that soured her experience with GM and we just traded that in for a Nissan. It's a nice feeling of relief to be done with the ordeal. I wish you the best with your Nissan and hope it's an enjoyable experience to drive.

I hope it is too. I wanted them to fix it as I understand any mechanical device can come out of specs at any time, which this one did. The way GM handled it was absurd in my mind. I feel like they didn't care about me at all. When I am ready for a new truck I will go to all places, not just the Chevy dealer like I have before.

 

I bought the Nissan Frontier. Less room width wise, but more room in the back for my boy, its a crew cab vs my double cab.

Maybe a little off topic but I now have a new problem with my truck now after 26 350 km. The other day after picking my truck up from getting a oil change, I drove it for about 15 km. After coming to a stop at a stop sign when I went to give it gas to go, the truck gave a feeling like it was missfiring and then stalled. Started it back up and drove fine. Drove the truck back to the dealer and they said they were having problems with the electronic throttle control. Add this to the page long of problems I am having with this truck. They tell me it's not picking up any codes so just drive it! I will be taking this truck back and cancelling my lease with GM. Other than the way this truck drives, I think they nailed it with the styling. My 2002 Nissan frontier drove miles better than this truck.

Good luck with the Nissan. Hope it doesn't have a CVT trans.

Why don't you take a look at a Nissan cvt trans. They actually know how to build one! Unlike others(GM) that try to make an over sized snowmobile trans and stick it in a car. A cvt will never make its way to a truck because it's made for small to mid size cars.

Haha I know enough to stay far, far away from CVT's, whether it's GM's abandoned VTi or Nissans's JATCO CVT. At least GM knew enough to bury their cvt. Nissan pushes ahead, sticking cvt's in overweight Pathfinders, only to fail like clockwork. Sounds like you need to research the subject a little more.

I'm not hating on you bro! I didn't know they had a cvt in the pathfinder. That's not an suv anymore! More like a glorified minivan. Way to big of a vehicle for a cvt in my opinion.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).

      Coming back to this question, *my* answer is no, it's not something about which I'm knowledgeable. I'd need to read up on it and understand how it applies to we the consumer and our oil change regimens.   One of your bolded points is that fresh oil in a container contains particulate matter. I don't think I'm surprised, maybe a little bit that it seems to be a major factor, but there's manufacturing process involved in oil and it doesn't exactly come in sterile packaging.    How much is filtered out on the first start by an acceptable quality filter (AC Delco, as a baseline) filter?   On the GM OLM discussion, just saying that the "number of engine revolutions" appears to be a factor in oil life... cough... maybe driving style *does* matter.

      GMC has been revising their trim level names over the past several years. Sierra Pro has taken over the Work Truck/SL trim name; Elevation has replaced the SLE (and with the Premium upgrade, SLT) in the SUV lineup of late; AT4/AT4 Ultimate and Denali/Denali Ultimate have been the top of the line in off road luxury and on-road luxury respectively for the full-size pickups and SUVs.    SL, SLE, SLT nomenclatures are gone in the Sierra truck line. Mark my words.
