I've had two sets of aftermarket wheels and tires (plus the stockers) and it still vibrates... It's not the tires.

Same here, Factory wheels with good years. Raceline rims with toyo at II's, Fuel wheels with toyo at II's. Les Schwab went through 10 tires and got the RF numbers below 8 on all 4 and it still vibrates. Definitely not the tires.

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

Has anybody changed the factory shocks to Bilstein 4600/5100 or other well known manufacturer and felt a difference in vibration?

2015 Silverado with a stage 2 procomp 6" lift. My truck has been to the dealership 10 times for shaking. now after 2 weeks at the shop they are saying its my wheels because they cant find anything else wrong with the truck. i have had 2 rental trucks both 2016 1500's one was a work truck the other was an LT and they both shake. The dealer is now saying they will not work on my truck again till i replace all 4 tires which will cost me $1600 they also informed me i have to take my truck back once i have new tires if the shaking continues then they will talk about buying the truck back. I know its not the tires so i dont want to spend 1600$ but at this point i dont know what else to do. I have taken it to all 3 local dealerships and they all say i can only have it serviced at the dealership i bought it from which i know is 100% bullshit.

Surprised they didn't blame it on your lift.

They installed the lift so it would still be there responsibility. I had the dealer put stock tires on my truck and test drive it. They said the problem is fixed i said wait to change the tires till i get there. I test drove my truck with stock tires and still had the same exact issue. My truck is now at 4 wheel parts and my friend called me to say he checked out the truck front to back and everything is perfect and he even checked the balance of my drive shaft which he said was good. Now my truck is going back to the dealer to sit for a week before they tell me my truck is fixed again.

When you confronted them after they said it was fixed with the tire replacement, what did they say? I would have gotten that in writing and then afterward how it was not to use it against them for lying.

I agree 10x is too many. It's not the tires. how many miles are on the truck, and when did you first complain of the shaking?

Get mine back tomorrow. They put another brand of tires on it and surprise it didn't help. Now according to GM they want me to remove my level kit before they proceed beyond tires. So guess what I'm doing this weekend.... so frustrating. GM is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Well Jesse, as I recall, you've mentioned the Tunda a time or two. In event you do indeed choose the Tundra, as a going away present I've attached below the Tundra Forum URL for your easy access. I noticed that there are even a couple of sub-forums addressing vibration and shaking. So, you should feel right at home there. Happy Trails :)

Care to share the links to those sub forums you've noticed ???

That was my plan but the dealer said it might show a warning light if I disconnect the Magneride shocks. I need check further but in my case I think my shocks are bad. According to the dealer they have no way to test them other than replace and they think mine is working as designed, ha ha.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By Chevy Man for Life · Posted

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
