2015 Silverado Vibrations?

Dropsix · October 24, 2014

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.

That's a pretty sweet deal

I have a July 2014 build. So far so good but only 250 miles on it.

August '13 build...smooth and running good...had recalls done, but no real issues found...HVAC control knob lamps were "off by design in early builds", but fixed by dealer...had radio reception issues and dealer replaced module and software...now reception is good. Real nice truck. I have a real good dealer that does a good job and treats me right. Makes all the difference. But, I haven't had any of the other issues you read about on here...I've never had such a comfortable, quiet truck before (and I've had a few)!

Found mine on the driver's door near the sticker that shows the tire pressure...you can also send your VIN to the GM rep on the site and ask for a build sheet. It has the build date and info on it. My salesman gave me one too.

By the way, I LIKE YOUR TRIUCK....

LOTS of 14s out there that DONT vibrate, we get it , really, we do.

Those of you that have smooth riding trucks dont have to post it in the vibration threads, really, you dont. We got it.

So, as the OP asked, anybody drive or hear of a 2015 that vibrates or dont?

Look at the frame under your driver side door. The sticker should be there beneath the truck.

so does that mean the vibration guys will stay out of every thread about a non vibrating Issue?

Some vibes reported on some 2015 HD models.

Towards the end of this 2011 thread they start talking about some 2015 HDs having it.

2015 4x4 LTZ with 20" Goodyears (not my favorite choice of tires). No vibration. I've had vibration in other Chevy's, many years before (with Goodyears...). Always been bad tires, always. Even had replacements vibrate. My suggestion, ask a local amateur racing group or car enthusiast group where to buy tires and try a new set....

Here is my 2015 Denali just took it in a 400 mile trip to big bear lake in California. Best riding truck I've ever owned.

I will say this, I've seen in on here and a couple of other forums now of people with vibration issues getting fixed by replacing the drive shaft.

Apparently there is some sound deadening material in the shafts and it is braking apart which causes the shaft to go out of balance..

So there may now be a fix that works...

junkyardz · October 29, 2014

that's interesting bigbadsierra...1st I've heard of sound deadening inside the shafts...

Someone mentioned this in the vibration forum a while ago. I don't remember if his issues were solved though. Its def something to remember. I had 3 drive shafts on my first 14 and had the exact vibration with all 3 so I'm not a believer that the driveshafts are bad. Maybe a few here and there...
