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.

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

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

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 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..

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

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By newdude · Posted

      Sierra HD Pro:   - If you want a power driver's seat on the Pro, you can't get it.  You have to go to SLE.   - Factory remote start?  Can't get it on any of the Sierra Pro trim (1500 or HD).  You have to go SLE.     - 7 inch radio has limitations for replacement if you wanted to upgrade the screen, etc.    - Steering wheel radio controls?  Nope.  Can you add them?  Yes.  NOT CHEAP.  Requires a new instrument cluster, steering wheel and wiring harness mod kit.     - Fog lights?  Nope.  And no factory path to install them.    Sierra HD SLE:   - IMO, the larger radio screen is a much better interface.   - Fog lights?  You can get them.  Steering wheel controls?  Has them.  Remote start?  Yep.  Power driver seat?  Available.       Silverado WT:   - Same as the Pro above however you CAN get factory remote start installed at the dealer for the WT Chevy.     Silverado Custom:   - Comes with 20" wheels only.  Can you swap later?  Sure.  But.  Truck is calibrated for the stock 20s (34" tire) and no path to properly recalibrate.     - Power seat?  Yes.   - Steering wheel controls?  Same as the Pro above.  No but can be done and not cheap.     Silverado LT:   - Same as the SLE.  You can get or it comes with many features you can't do on the lower trims.       I'd say its all going to come down to what you NEED and what you WANT to have that you'd benefit from.  For me, things like power seat is a must (I hate the WT/Pro seating position), so I'd have to go Custom, LT or SLE right out of the gate.  Steering wheel controls?  Should be standard in 2026 across the board IMO, so again, puts me to LT or SLE.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      I have a 1500 but the Custom trim. I bought it solely for the simplicity meaning less electronics. I also love the old school gauges. The only thing that I like about the LT better than my Custom is the front grill. Otherwise, absolutely no regrets choosing this trim.
