Shake or Vibration Issues

[abominable z71]

I do not have the shake when I have my stock 18 wheels and tires w/ the goodyears. But when I put my CK160 knockoffs on w/ hankooks on I get the shake at 70+mph. Here's the thing.... I do not get the shake when I have the stocks on the front and the CK160 on the back. Smooth as glass. Any thoughts?

Ask farml1234 apparently he knows the cause, but won't even fix it on his own truck.

Seriously, It's like saying you have cancer and know the cure but would rather die than tell anyone or even cure yourself. Why even bother coming onto the forum if you have nothing constructive to offer.

That is classic troll behavior "I know the answer but won't tell you" that is how they get people to feed them. Here's his lunch

UPDATE: Just dropped truck off at selling dealer. This is now the 4th time. On the third visit they put two new GSA's on the front. SAME VIBRATION with the most intense sensation being felt at 75mph. This is not looking good if all they know how to do is throw tires at the problem. I asked for Michelins and was told that would not be possible. Anyone have any experience with a buyback? Did it take legal representation? At this point the 4 and 5 letter words don't sound too bad.

it's been done, but don't expect it to be quick. Most have settled for a trade assist and even that can take a year or more. I tried that route for a few months. You know the old saying, time is money. Well it's true and I didn't think it was worth the amount of time I was putting into it. And I saw others work much harder on it than I did. So I simply traded out and still don't regret that decision for one second.

I'm in same boat as most.....vibes....but I am having a hard time taking the loss and being done with this truck.

Most people who see video or are in truck on highway say the vibe would drive them crazy....good thing I was already there

This was after all supposed to be a long term vehicle.

My tranny is still jeckyl and hyde....mostly jeckyl,Chev says it's normal ffs

Lifters gone,tranny,highway vibes

I believe it's a matter of time before I snap....not saying the next brand truck will be any better....but I doubt it could be any worse

It's kind of like a toothache.

I've got a 2016 Silverado Z71 1500, and with the stock wheels, no shake. I changed to a set of XD Monster II with Toyo AT tires and had an intermittent, sometimes horrible shake...Sometimes would rattle change in the armrest. Balance, rebalance over and over again, finally changed the tires to a Geolander AT, still no improvement. Put the stock wheels back on, smooth as glass. Roadforce balanced the XDs, swapped out two wheels put them on and it was worse. Changed from the XD wheel to a Fuel wheel with the geolanders and it is smooth MOST of the time...very rarely will I get a vibration now, and when I do, it's slight and doesn't last long.

Moral of the story is it's the wheel weight causing this problem. The truck frames are to blame for flexing, and when you change the spinning weight on each corner that causes the vibration...no amount of balancing will fix it. I had the XDs balanced 8 times in 300 miles.

The standard stock wheel/tire combo weighs about 36#...any wheel/tire combo above that can cause the unexplained vibration that will drive you nuts!

My truck has the 20" wheels, when I first got it there was a slight vibe at the 41-49 mph, bitched about the Goodyears and dealer put on Bridgestone ATs. Rode pretty good for awhile, then one day got a hell of a vibration at 75. Took the truck to a Bridgestone dealer, they road forced the tires and rotated. All was good after that with only a slight vibe at 41-49 once in awhile, which I could live with. Few weeks ago had dealer do service , they rotated the tires and bingo, back to vibrations at both low and high speed. They have balanced the tires few times, nothing but a hassle. Been seriously considering buying 18" rims and a set of Cooper ATPs ..also been looking at different brand of trucks too.

GM should take care of it. No doubt. A small design update would allow this actually. Expand (round) the wheel wells or extended struts(it's not like they don't have a deal with Rancho already), 32.6 to 33" all season tires standard on stock wheels from 17 - 20. It won't fix the problem, but cancelling out the feeling is not all bad. Edited April 3, 2017 by Severado

My low speed vibe was fixed (14 dble cab tx edition). Ring gear badly out of specs, replaced rear axle. Smooooooth ever since.

Dealer called today after I complained no one had called me back for 4 days. They want the truck for tests and will give me a loaner. Will have to see what they find..

[AllTerrain13]

Mine is at the district rep level who escalated the situation.

 

Waiting on a "subject matter expert" to give direction on the way ahead. Not sure what the means or what will come out of it but I don't have my truck.

GM trade assist was finalized recently. Already put 500 miles on my new 2017 Silverado with no issues *knock on wood*. Probably wont feel relieved until I have a few thousand miles on it and at least one tire rotation. Also taking the "break-in" period very seriously. Process for me took about 2 months but I don't think that this is the norm. I still will be monitoring this page in hopes that someone finds a more universal fix. Good luck everyone
