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.

I have Factory 18's with Wrangler SR-A's and Factory 22's Bridgestone Dueller A/T RH-S's both have been replaced with the same tire, still vibrates

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.

10 times is too many

Surprised they didn't blame it on your lift.

I put the 5100's on. Rides better but still shakes.

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?

I agree

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.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
