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

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

Was reading my latest Truck Trend magazine and came across this article. 

http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1709-explained-tennecos-driv-electronic-suspension/

 

caused me me to think of you that are afflicted with the Chevy Shake.  Read the article, just might be the solution.  I do believe SS is real, but I think that the root cause is varied and manifests itself through the non-forgiving rigid high tensil frame along with the sucky obsolete rear leaf spring suspension system.  Anyway, this new Tenneco system sounds interesting. Check out the article...

Good Morning,

 

That is very interesting, I am interested how your truck is riding now that you replaced all of the shocks and installed the sulastics Snoringbear. Also what brand shocks you replaced them with.

 

I am starting the looking process for another vehicle that will allow me to enjoy driving. Maybe that vehicle doesn’t exist but I am all ears if anyone has any suggestions. I like riding high enough to see traffic ahead of me as well as the safety aspect of heavier vehicle than the other guy.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion of a vehicle other than a Citroen that has a suspension that smooths out the road to the highest degree. 

 

Not it sure I will still be able to walk by 2020 waiting for these new technology shocks. 

 

Have a great day!

Hey Bullshark,

you must have me confused with another Snoringbear.  I haven't replaced shocks or anything else except tires.  My truck is still 100% factory stock.  I'm fortunate that my truck doesn't have the dreaded Chevy Shake - yet.   I did have torque converter shudder a few months ago which was fixed by the SB procedure; complete drain and flush of transmission including cooler, refill with new type tranny fluid (23 gallons) replaced filter.  No shudder now.  Truck does ride rougher than my 2008 though.  However, this truck is a 4X4 with towing package so guessing it has stiffer suspension than previous truck.  But, I'm getting older and less tolerant of constant thumpity thump of expansion joints and road feel from anti-skid groves scribed in the pavement.  I want to stay in a truck though as I tow a 6,200 lb TT occasionally.  Besides, my family says a truck "is me" so gotta stay with a truck, lol ?...

Trying to figure out if my '16 Crew Cab that I just purchased 3 weeks ago has this shake.

When driving above 65, I feel a slight vibration through my steering wheel. If I let go of the wheel, I cannot see it moving. I also don't hear anything inside the cabin rattling such as my sunglasses in the holder. None of this vibration feels like it's coming from the rear. Like I said, I can really only feel it through the steering wheel.

Obscenejesster (I like your handle),

my guess is either your tires need balancing or you need a front end alignment.  Being your truck is a 2016 I'm assuming you have some miles on it?  If so, inspect your front tires for any irregular wear or scuffing, especially on the inner and outer edges.  If there is any indication of this I would have the tires rotated and balanced as a start.  If problem still exists I would have the front end aligned.  However, if your tires are worn and close to needing replacement I would do this first then have both balancing and alignment done.  Btw, none requested suggestion;. I run Michelin tires, in my opinion can't go wrong with them.  Good luck ?!

Okay cool. I'll try going that route first. Thank you.

I thought of this handle back in '97 when I first started hacking and gaming. It just stuck with me all these years.

What is this new type tranny fluid you speak of? I am just out of my warranty  period so I need to have this done independently

Ok thank you, my shudder is on deceleration so not sure this applies, may be worth a try I guess

This might be under the 5yr 100k warranty since it involves the tranny

Notice how that TSB days that if it happens in V4 mode then that is normal.....

Does anyone hear have an explanation as to why that's normal while in V4 mode?

Dropped my '16 Silverado off at dealer last night for the 8 speed shudder. Advisor called said they couldn't finish truck today so stop and get a loaner. I asked what the diagnosis was and was told they think they need to flush and change the fluid and maybe something with a valve. Tech was gone for the day. Didn't mention replacing the TC. If they only change the fluid have you guys had similar repair and has it been successful? Do they reset the warranty at this point, I have 22k on truck? And is this covered under 60k warranty or 36k under standard warranty? Thanks for your help..

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
