Shake or Vibration Issues

[cltsig]

Current owner of a 2016 Yukon Denali shorty 2wd with no shake/buffeting issues but low speed boom like every other Yukon/Tahoe. I really need a 4wd pickup and was considering GM or the new Titan. I know not every Silverado/Sierra shakes but damn, these posts scare me! Should I stay the hell away or roll the dice? I don't like the Fords (everybody has one), Dodge too unreliable, Tundra is way out of date and offers too few amenities (owned a 2014, stereo was AWFUL, mileage sucked, no auto lights, wipers, push button start, etc.). That leaves GM and Titan. Leaning towards Titan but I'm torn.

Drive a Titan and take another look at the Tundra. All of the GM SUVs and trucks are on the same platform.

Vibration back above 80mph on my truck... ready for a trade in? Who knows, stay tuned!

Damn, CJ, hate to hear that! Look at it this way, I have spent over $2000 on parts to find out that it was bad wheels, talk about frustration!

 

Now I have to buy new wheels! I was on autotrader Monday myself, but I am too stubborn to give up.

Wait and see what the new 18 Tundra will be. I read there will be one out in a February auto show. Should be some changes.

I need a HD truck anyways, I've been pushing the limits, hauling wise, on a 1500

The 18 Tundra is supposed to be a complete redesign, everything from the interior to the mechanicals/ drive line. I considered one before I got the ford but the Tundra was still a great truck. Beware of a first model run after a redesign, always a scary year haha. Anyway, I'd expect a modified version of the 5.7L, 4.6L and addition of a diesel engine, updated transmission (8 or 10 speed), quieter interior etc. heres an article https://carsintrend.com/2018-toyota-tundra/

Just fyi rdnckhntr94; you probably already know this. The current Tundra is basically on a 3/4 ton platform. So, when comparing to the competition it should be compared to their 3/4 ton models. I have only good things to say about the Toyota brand in general, especially their engines as they're pretty much bullet proof. Bought my first Toyota in 1969 when I decided to use my GI Bill and go get myself one of those college deplomas. Was a Corona, ran the p!$$ out of it and it never broke. I've considered a Tundra from time to time but can't seem to strike a deal, sales dudes are too proud of them I guess. Besides, I've had good results with the GM twins going back to my 1975 Chev in-line six. Oh, btw, installed the Air Lift system you recommended a couple weeks ago. A really nice setup, especially with the wireless compressor. Haven't made a tow yet though, maybe I'll make a test run in a week or so. Cheers, hope we don't loose you as moderator if you jump ship to a Tundra !

I know plenty of people with Toyota Tundras and various other Toyota vehicles, they all love them. My dad had an '87 Tacoma, or whatever they had back then, had the 22re motor and only issue was he went through a few clutches and the body rusted out. Sold it with 365k miles on the original motor. No doubt Toyota vehicles are solid, but the Tundra probably doesn't have the payload capacity that a GM/ Ford/ Ram HD truck has.

 

And a fellow moderator doesn't even have a GM truck currently, drives a Jeep, but he's been a moderator for so long it's no sense in dumping him because he drives something else

Yeah but it's still a boring Crapota.

Well my 2016 Sierra has been at dealership since Friday. They are going to replace 3 tires that they couldn't road force balance. I really believe it's rearend related and so does service guy but GM says do tires first. And so begins the saga

[Schmidt152]

A GM engineer looked over my truck today. Received a phone call from the dealership that my U-Joints need replacement and "Newly Engineered Steering Bushings". The parts are on order and will hopefully have them installed soon. Maybe GM has a fix for some customers coming out? Again my symptoms are noted mostly in the steering wheel from 70-80 MPH. I do have some shaking in the seat/console but it's no where near what some had discribed. I had the change in my console shake a few times but that was mostly cured by tires that were indeed out of balance. Hopefully any remaining vibration will be fixed. I'm estatic that I have been offered a solution other than wheels and tires. I do have some doubt, as most of us do after dealing with this issue, but I'm still hoping for the best. I'll post updates as they come.

When was the build date of you truck and what is your mileage? Im shocked your u-joints are already bad. Can you feel any play in them under the truck?

[trik396]

Shocked about u joints also and interested in new steering bushings

[Schmidt152]

I think my build date is march of 2016. I have about 13k and change on the odometer. Bought the vehilcle as New with about 6,000 miles on it. Per the dealership the U-Joints were binding up in the same place on each rotation. I've had vibration issues since day one of purchase.
