How do you like the 4600? trying to decide between those and the 5100

AND...Air Lift 5000 bags and CalTrend seat covers.

Pre cut vinyl sticker.

Not as drastic as some of the others but things I have done to mine. Blacked out the bowties on the wheels and steering wheel (grill bowtie is factory) Debadged the doors and tailgate Plastidipped the chrome "skid plate" below the bumper. Will paint to match next year Applied light smoke vinyl to the running lights. Tones done the orange but may need dark Put real skid plates underneath to replace the plastic from the factory

Son in law has a 2016 with same drive train. He has the trans issue but not the shake or vibration.

The $289 my dealer charges is a bargain compared to that! If you have the time, doing it yourself is the way to go.

Any issues with being pulled over for your window tint? I am a fellow Michigander and wondered. Beautiful truck BTW! I was wondering the same thing.

Like the brownestone. Wasn't available for 2016 model.

Numerous trips for my truck for the vibration/shake. 2016 LT Z71 with 5448 miles. My drop down armrest/console would shake over an inch side to side between 70 and 75 at times. 1st trip ... road force balance, then a run with the pico scope. Readings were 27, 4, 48 and 8. Replaced 2 tires and one rear shock that had a leak. The arm rest shake was gone but a slight vibration in the steering wheel was present. Drove it 1000 miles and no better. 2nd trip .... run with pico scope showed right front out of balance. Road forced tire. Same feel in steering wheel up to 75 and then a bad vibration. 3rd trip ... Dealer contacted GM and was told to replace steering bushings. Was told GM came up with a liquid filled bushing to help with the problem. It took care of the vibration at 75 mph but after 600 miles, slight feel in steering wheel persists. 4th trip ... took a drive with shop manager and another guy that travels to the multiple locations of this dealer and 'trouble shoots'. He felt it and used the word 'pecking' to describe it. Both admitted GM has a problem and they don't have a fix for it. Took a cue from dmetz82 and took a half full bottle of water with me. The shop manager in the back set zeroed in on it but of course nothing severe showed on the road. They decided to run the pico scope again, attached to seat frame and steering column to get a reading and contact GM for a recommendation if needed. Shop manager called and said the truck was in spec so nothing else they could do. Asked what 'spec' is, and was told 15 and was provided copies of the readings. SO, that is where I'm at. On and off slight vibration mostly at highway speed. Sometimes I think I feel it at slower speeds but the shocks on the Z71 transmit everything little thing on the road. I am surprised service didn't bring that up as a contributing factor for the feeling.

How bad is the vibration/shake in your trucks and what are they doing? Mine went in today for the third time and wonder if I am trying to fix something that isn't that bad considering the new frames and body mounts on these trucks.

Reflective Concepts has bowtie stickers for the trucks. www.reflectiveconcepts.com

Here is a link to Truck Trend website with a comparison of tire dressings. http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/wheels-tires/1604-shine-wars-we-test-16-tire-shines/

I mentioned the vibration to the service adviser when I was in for an oil change. He basically said the same thing. Claimed the other trucks did the same thing but the frame absorbed it and we didn't feel it. The new frames are boxed and stiffer and transmit the issues. Mine varies. I noticed some parts of the freeway will cause it worse then others.

Another person mentioned a pico scope. Same type that's used for examining engines? SRA's seem to be the most used. I tried to get the ones on my truck swapped for Bridgestone when I bought the truck but they wouldn't do it.
