Hello everyone! I'm strongly considering selling my F250 and buying a '15 Silverado but have been hesitant mainly because of the vibration issues I've been reading about.

 

It's probably a little early but.....have you guys heard of anyone with a '15 that does, or does not have vibration problems?

 

 

Thank you

Not really anyone on the forums yet with 15's might be 1 or 2 guys. Hopefully they chime in soon

Fingers crossed because I love the look of both the Sierras and Silverados.

 

I'm done with this '11 F250 and all the emission system problems I've had, as well as keeping up with DEF fluid (so stupid). And I don't care for the design of the F150...the Toyotas are just ok...and there is no way I'm driving a Dodge. So I'm really hoping the '15s have been straightened out!

I ordered a '15 to replace my vibrating '14. I'm hopeful the replacement won't vibrate. I'll post after I pick it up.

Are you serious? You are hoping it will not vibrate?

Ordered a 2015 yesterday after GM offered me a full buy back. Given that the full buy back was only for the replacement of another GM vehicle, I decided to go with a 2015 Sierra 6.2L w/8-Speed that did not cost me anything out of pocket. The dealer told me that I could drive the '15 for an extended period of time before I signed any paperwork. If I was not happy with the '15, they told me I was not bound to purchase the vehicle. If the '15 vibrates, I will take my '14 and trade it in on something else. I'd rather try to get a new free truck before taking a couple thousand dollar hit on purchasing another brand.

Please keep in mind you read about this issue here but the actual number of trucks out there with a vibration issue is very very small percentage.

 

Probably the reason GM is buying them back. If it was a big issue they would be handling it much different.

 

The people with the issue or issues in general tend to find the forums when they are seeking out help and support which we all like to give.

 

But it creates a picture of a bigger issue than it really is some times.

 

My truck has only gone in for to get a fog light replaced and that was just defective bulb. I noticed the first day I had the truck.

If I were you I'd find the truck I wanted and test drive it up to 80 m.p.h. If it doesn't vibrate, and it probably won't, buy it. I've had my Silverado for over 11 months, they rotated the tires yesterday, and it still never vibrated. I have two friends with '14 G.M.Cs, one Denali and one with an A/T with the 6.2. They love their trucks just like I love mine. Very few trucks have this problem, and G.M. seems to buy back the few that do.

BluBy - That's reasonable of them. What dealership did you buy from?

I have a late 2014 truck with 2000 miles and not a single issue so far and it's smooth as butter at all speeds!

That is really good to hear! Hoping that my 2015 (which will most likely be built in late 2014) will have all the vibs worked out of it. I am getting a Double Cab z71 similar to yours. What month was yours built? My current 2014 was built in May and it vibrates like a SOB.

Where do you find the build date?

 

Should be in the inside of the Driver's Side door. I think it is a gray-ish sticker???

 

If it's not there, maybe check in the inside of the Passenger Side door.

 

It's on the inside of one of the doors haha

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      I finally got it to start. It was a mix of a few issues. The frame ground was in bad shape so I ran a new one and cleaned up the area to get a good connection then covered it in rust reformer then bed liner to keep it as clean as possible. The other ground I found that looked suspect was on the frame toward the back of the truck near the bed. I did the same. After pulling the fuse box out from the engine bay I found a couple of wires that looked like at some point mice may have got ahold of it. That was an easy fix. After that i was able to get control power and was able to trace down a few more connections going to the other fuse panels in the cab. After that it finally started up and runs. It sounds like an angry school bus which I can work with. No OBD2 codes, but I think since its set for a long time I should pull the turbo and get it rebuilt or swapped out, but for now im good to go. Thanks for all the advice. It got me on the right track.
