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.

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?

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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
