I have had my 2015 hd for 6 months and have had it tested several times and they did a pico test and tried something changing something on the exuast and didn't work, next changed the fan clutch that didn't work, mine has a vibration usually around between 2000rpm and 2200rpm, most noticeable when pulling a hill. very frustrating that they can't fix it, they even tried telling me that all trucks have vibrations at certain rpms, well I have had several Chev and Gm trucks before this one and have never had this problem before. they know it does it and they know others are doing it so why are they figuring it out is my question?

The vibration issue is real.2016 2500 wt. Between 45-65 mph. Low rpm, louder on a hill. Took it to the service center 3 time . First visit, they put 18" michelans on it and a piece of dynomat. They claim its because the noise canceling in the wt's is insufficien . They claim its a 4th wheel vibration with drive shaft vibration amplified and it shows up in the cab, and felt in the steering wheel and pedal. This is unacceptabl . This vibration has not been diagnosed long term for potential wear issues post warranty. Also, vibration sickness is a real thing. The reverberation inside the cab is distracting and unsafe, and makes the vehicle unreliabl . BBB is involved and we are going into arbitration. Note... When the BBB claim is filed , expect GM and your dealer to flee. They will treat you as the bad guy, be useless, offer you nothing, and direct you to GMs claims office. Have your facts in order from day 1. Record dates, take it to your own Certified mechanic, record all conversations relating to the diagnosis of the vibration. Be prepared people. Chevy nerds to recall these truck .

One quick too also, I got my service manager to admit that he didn't know this vibration was "Normal" in the 2500 model . I got him to issue me the exact truck as a rental to test if it made the same vibration. They basically admitted fault by doing so. I took down the managers name, and the VIN of the defective rental vehicle. Get this evidence to help you. Tell them what you want. Get all info before you file your case with the BB .

Recall? Vibration in the HD is extremely rare. These trucks are tried and true very reliable but any truck or car can have issues such as vibrations.

2015 duramax diesel, 4x4. Been in dealership for 2 months. Tires changed, axle shafts rear changed, torque converter changed. Tired of making payments on a truck I can't count on. Have an older Chevy, 300,000 plus miles on it & it outworks the newer Truck. Any direction how to resolve this

Any resolutions to the vibrations? I bought a 2015 2500hd with 6.0, 76,000 miles and it has a loping vibration all the time. Park, neutral, drive, but the vibration is worst right at 53 mph. Had tires rotated and balanced twice. Drive line inspected, shafts, u joints, diffs, transfer case. They looked at everything they could see without too much disassembly. No codes/lights lights. Diagnostics show nothing wrong. Only thing I could find is the steering lines from the pump have a strong vibration in them, one exhaust bolt broken at back of manifold and the brake pedal gets a little harder if hauling a load but not so much that I’m really sure somethings wrong. Also turning from a stop seems like the wheel gets a little tight. Being new to this type of system I’m not sure if the vibration or tighter wheel in slow turns is normal? Been chasing my tail and mechanics are lost. Any ideas?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
