Shake or Vibration Issues

[14silverado4.3]

What is the difference between the "traditional cone mount" and "hub mount"? Same thing,market they? There is really only two centering designs for automotive wheels - hub centric and lug (wheel bolt) centric. The centering come on a balance machine would centre the wheel to the centre bore in the wheel, which would be the bore that the hub would also fit snug to to centre the wheel. Alternately, lug centric uses the tapered lug nuts to centre the wheel, with the wheel centre bore being larger that the axle hub.

 

Or you could be like GM, and have the wheel bore snug to the hub (hub centric) and use tapered lug nuts (lug centric) and see who wins the centering fight!!

 

Now, there are different centering cones for the Hunter balance machine. Likely they didn't have the correct one for aluminum wheels on your truck. As I recall, it's some kind of "reverse" cone arrangement. Sounds funky, and like anything else funky, can be a source of human error. Just saying......

I know the rims are hub centric, has anyone tried non-tapered lug nuts ...

Congrats on the new Ford, lets see some pics

how do I load a pic?

Since I'm challenged when it comes to pics. It's the ruby red metallic, garnet i would call it. Crew cab short box 4X4 5.0 with 3.31 gear, could have maybe gone with the 3.55 but i had just found out after waiting 6 months the truck ordered for me was junk. If I was Ford I'd put a supercharger on the 5.0 and match up to the 6.2. My pissed off level was off the charts after test driving the truck I waited 6 months for. Ford sticker was 59, Sierra sticker was 54, traded for 9. Screwed or not at this point i don't care, hated the vibrating no head light sierra and when the new one finally showed up it vibrated worse then the 2 previous ones. I knew I was done with gmc. For comparison sake, engine goes to gm, the 6.2 is king, seats go to Ford, better lumbar for me at least. Rear seat area, no comparison, Ford. Console area and overall buttons, etc. I give to gm, I've had them so long just know where everything is. Camera system, Ford. Overall feel, Ford, just feels solid, close the doors, just has the thud. Maybe the alum is thicker I don't know, just feels more substantial. Driving quality, Ford, it doesn't vibrate. I'm sure some will flame and tarnish, go ahead, unless you have lived with this for a year, you don't know, and GM doesn't know, how totally pissed off people get. Probably lost a lifetime friend over these 3 trucks but I won't go back and I am steering my 3 boys away from GM, but in the end, GM doesn't care, they never did.

Nice, but do you really want to take the chance on another GM truck?

No, I'm scared to death of it. but at the same point, there is no guarantee in Lemon Law, even though I have enough information that should basically guarantee it, and if I try to get rid of my truck on my own, I'm out a sh*t ton..... so IDK what to do

If I take the offer, I will be trying to switch to sierra because I don't like the new look of the Shakerados.
