    Has anybody thought about putting it on a lift and running it up to the speed it shakes at and looking/feeling around the underside?

    Sounds like another case of good tires fixing an issue.

    I don't think TAC is a bullitin, I think it's when the dealer calls GM and opens a case and GM tech assistance tells them what to do. That's a reference number far as I know.

    The acceleration vibration really is "normal" I think.

    Anybody have the motor shimmed with success. I've seen a couple folks claim it solved their problems on other forums and it was mentioned once early on here, but that's it.

    Mine was out of aliment when I got it, just slightly though. I got the 500 mile line as well. Something about suspension settling etc. It was fine by me since I knew I wanted to get the oil changed at 1000 and would probably have a punch list to go through at the same time.

    Dealer couldn't remedy the rhythmic vibration in my truck. No other ideas. I threw in the towel and took it back. Left with another one, minus the shakes and added a 3.42 rear end. First 400 miles are going good so far.

    Really, that's it. Acoustics? There is not a mechanical reason?

    Did I miss it or what's the point of this flapper anyways?

    Not to rain on everybody's parade and I should just keep my mouth shut, but maybe it is the first time that guy has seen a vibration issue. Sure they sell a lot of trucks and I bet most of them don't come back for anything but oil changes until their free services run out, then they go someplace else cheaper. I know it's frustrating but they have to work through a process to fix things, just like any business. Short of replacing your truck right on the spot, it takes time to find out what's wrong and fix it. If they are that busy, they probably have lot of other customers to serve at the same time. I know it's frustrating, I don't doubt that at all. I also don't think GM would blow off the customer base of their best selling vehicle either. Go ahead, rip me a new one now for my post.

    Got to thinking about this on the way home last night. If it were the case, I would think it'd go away if I put the truck in neutral while rolling down the highway. Gave it a shot and it still did it, about 67-75mph. Comes and goes in a consistent rhythm. In that scnerio the trucks not being pushed along anymore.... Am I right? Does that put the cause in something from the transmission back?

    That makes sense and is a good analogy. Though I can feel it in my feet, Mostly the floor board. The balance did seem to lessen it, but it's nothing like the head shaker you describe

    That's great, you gotta be happy to have that behind you. Let me ask you guys this...I've got about 6k miles on my truck, been great. I feel a small vibration in the floor, gas pedal starting about 67 up through maybe 75-80. Above that is seems to quit. I don't think it's anything like you all describe, or it just hasn't bothered me as much. I mentioned it to the dealer when I had it in for service and they road force balanced the tires. 11, 11, 15 and 9 lbs. added 1/2 oz to 2 of the tires. It's better than it was, but I still notice it. Probably just because I'm looking for it. Honestly, had I not read this forum I probably wouldn't notice. It's a very rhythmic vibration. I can feel it for a couple seconds, then quits for a couple seconds, then does it again. Over and over down the highway. Looks like there are a number of folks with different issues and probably not all the same thing. 18 inch Goodyear RS-A's. Same deal or no?

    Of course, the truth is just that and lots of other owners can hopefully benifit from it too.
