did your vibration come back after the axles and driveshaft were replaced?

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

2017 RCSB Silverado 1500 4x4----On my 3rd set of tires now..  It's NOT the tires!  GM needs to make this right as I'm a loyal GM product buyer/user BUT I will change hats if they keep dragging this on.  Get me a new STEEL driveshaft and we can go from there.

HA.  What makes you think your loyalty to GM means anything to them?  You are replaceable.

Valid point.  Customer service appears to have gone out the window in the name of shareholder return.
 
Yeah about 15 yrs. ago.

Just a little update on the truck because i have had a few guys message me and ask . Truck has been very smooth still since changing the driveshaft to a new aluminium one piece and swapping in the Yukon axles . 

Had my tires road force balanced last week because i lost some wheel weight off-roading and what a difference that has made truck feels smoother now then the day i bought it .

 

Hope this helps others .

Either the tire/wheel assemblies have excessive radial force variation, the rear driveshaft (propshaft) is out of balance or the right side engine mount needs to be shimmed 3 mm. Those are the only vibration issues that I have seen with a K2XX truck.

Can you tell me what is the test to determine if you need a 3 mm shim for the engine mount?

What I find interesting about this issue is that some days, I take the same road, go about 78-80 mph and have major vibration.  Other days, same road, same speed and NO vibration.  Is it possible that road heat, heat outside, etc can play a role in how much vibration there is?  The other night I had none but previously that day on the same road during the day I had the normal (what I am used to) vibration.  Just curious if mine is the only one that is intermittent.

My 14 Denali is the same way. Sometimes it’s great sometimes it shakes really bad. Same roads. I just got my truck back from the dealership. I replaced the tires, pad, rotors and CV joints before taking it into the dealer. From my experience they will place blame anywhere they can. Perfect example they told me my new tires were the problem. I told them no it’s the exact same vibration as before new tires. They replaced quite a few parts in the trans and it still does the same thing.

 

I just noticed they said my tires were starting to cup. The new tires didn’t even have 300 miles when I took it to the dealership. My old tires didn’t wear uneven or have cupping. Frustrating.....

That's ridiculous!  They're brand new!  The sad thing is, when I bought mine new in June 2016, I bought some used rims and thought the vibration was due to a bent rim.  So I bought a whole new rim and still had the vibration and got rid of the tires and the wheels thinking that would solve it (before I knew about the vibration as an issue for most of us).  Now I run  new black 22's and tires and was convinced I screwed up something on my side because of the whole rim issue and it's something GM didn't do right.  And because I didn't know it, I never asked for anything to be done, I thought it was my RIMs.  I am hoping for enough complaints that they'll be forced to do something.  Until then, I will just keep driving it, vibrations and all!

2016 1500 Z71 Chebby…. dealer told me the vibe was from the "aggressive" tread of the Bridgestone Duelers.  Aggressive tread?!?  WTF, apparently he believed I just fell off the cabbage truck.  Needless to say, no resolution to the problem.  Good thing is (I guess), the truck only rarely vibrates.  And only at highway speeds after driving for 20-30 or so minutes.  Something, maybe the tires (not aggressive tread related), gets warmed up and causes or leads to the vibration.  Prolly will be my last GM product after 50 years of GM for 95% of my vehicle purchases, unless they step up.

Just took mine back to the dealer for shaking between 40-75 mph 2018 LTZ 5.3  6 speed  2wd So far the dealer has in this order changed the torque converter. changed the motor mounts. road force balanced the tires. scratched up one of the aluminum rims. changed trans fluid and replaced scratched up rim The shake is exactly the same as the first time I took it to them. I dropped the truck off this morning for another round

I would ask them to check the run out of the driveshaft and or the rear axle shafts .

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jake87 · Posted

      Bro, you still got that truck? I'm not seeing any m rust or flaking, which rusted metal flakes. Everyone thinks the wax "is rusty" but it absorbs its surrounding environment, creating a hard, natural shell that you can literally shoot with a bullet and won't flake off. It'll last 50 years like that as long as the barrier isn't compromised by getting in a wreck or meets a chemical that disolves wax. My 09's frame is even duller looking than that, and is holding up better than my rockers or 3rd set of painted shocks.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.
