its literally 74-76 mph in the seat and arm rest, speed up to 80 smooth, drop down to 72 smooth, 70 smooth, 74-75-76 vibrates wierdest shit I ever seen

Have you noticed if its worst with a full tank of gas vs 1/2 tank. Mine vibrates between 76 and 82 with 81 to 82 the worst but with about a 1/2 tank of gas its very little vib and I carry about 300lbs all the time.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

Mine did it exactly from 20 to 30 mph . Wouldn't do it before 20 or after 30 . Before I got rid of it I was starting to feel it on the freeway periodicaly " the harmonic sound and vibration"

It had about 6000 vibrating miles when I got rid of it .

The local dealer is practically giving Silverados away today haha

Is the sign vibrating to make new owners feel at home ?

He replaced his with a RAM, I went Tundra. But most of the members who have opted out have gone RAM. I had only one option as RAM and Ford are too tall for my garage.

If I had to replace mine today would be a Tundra. Just a good proven truck only dislike is the fuel mileage.I came from a Tundra and had no problems at all just liked the looks of the Sierra and the 10k off the sticker. Toyota is behind on style and options but they stick with a design that works and want change the Tundra until 2019. If its not broke no need to change it.

We need to get organized and maybe take a trip to Chevrolet and get media involved. Nothing will happen till it gets out there....

There are links on mine and Jesse D sig. lines ;)

The Tundra is a great Truck and I think you made a great choice to . I've had almost every truck over the years and have learned they all have some skeletons in there closet . The objective I've also learned with wisdom is to try and pick the one with the least scariest ones and unfortunately GM has one in the closet the size of King Kong with 10"fangs and they can't tame the beast lol .

It's a shame because other then that lol it to this day is the sexiest truck on the market in my honest opinion "Looks Wise"

Agreed, I'd say they are 5 years behind in the electronics department but it is a stable platform. And I have been getting 16.4 MPG around town so I am happy with the fuel economy. It is in the same range as the 6.2 SIlverado I was driving.

Trust me, if they could have gotten me one that drove like this Tundra I'd be all over it. I love all the little bells and whistles but the vibration was a deal breaker.

Yeah I'm with you but with that being said I'm beyond happy with my Ram .

What a great truck it's so much fun and enjoyable to drive I look forward to driving it every chance I get . The complete opposite experience I had with my Silverado. Every time I drove it I seemed to have a form of road rage even if there was no one on the road lol because the truck made me so mad and GM .

Not bad at all on the mileage.

Shakes/vibrations definitely a bad problem for those that have them but no one really knows how wide spread keeping in mind that hundreds of thousands have been sold.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
