That vibration at 30 mph could have something to do with the fuel management system. (engine going to 4 cyl) I notice it only when mine is running on 4 cyl. It just sounds like a low rumble.

 

What I have is a constant thing, and it varies depending on the road.

It varies from a hum feeling to a tremble that will shake your hand.

Yours sounds like a different issue.

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

My truck came with continental tires, been smooth. Took a small Hwy trip yesterday notice a little shake just when it was ready to go from v4 to v8. I don't think I would have notice but after reading some of the post on here, I think I may be becoming a little paranoid. Maybe Im not alone.

My passed posts have part numbers and what they did. Maybe it is a combination of things. I still have the drone at 40 thru 50 but I just try to keep it out of overdrive and it stops. I had the vib in the wheel on the hands. That made my fingers tingle. I can live with the drone. Choices of another vehicle are limited.

Also I have drone whether in v4 or v8. Drive in tow haul in tow and it goes away....

It wont let the trans go into overdrive or last gear.

A continual soft vibration or is it harsh.

Mine has a vibration that ranges from soft to a bit annoying.

Yes, you described it perfectly. I feel it through the steering wheel and sometimes through the gas pedal.

Try Michelins before you give up. Look back at my posts to see what they did to fix.

Yes, when they replaced the tires, they install the same Bridgestone tires that came on it from GM. I can't bring myself to purchase $1,000 worth of tires for a brand new truck.

No really power of suggestion, I'm not saying people don't have problems, but I find myself being more aware. Or paranoid.

5.3 3.42 ratio. Michelins and vibration dampeners fixed it. Look back through my posts to get part numbers.

They also did something with the exhaust. There is a flap back there that is supposed to open and close. They made it so it stayed open. Could possibly be choking back for fuel mileage or something. Government is trying to make the manufacture squeeze every MPG that those of us who choose to drive pick ups that have balls suffer.

There I said it.....

Not $1,000. If you have discount tire nearby. They will give you something for your take offs. Just cannot see paying 40-50,000 for a truck and driving on low bid oems. Life is too, too short for fighting with gm. Even it the new Michelins do not fix it you are way ahead with a better tire and it will ride, handle and stop better than now.

How does it affect anything it is just a little flapper valve? Mine is mounted to the muffler outlet just in front of the rear axle on my CC SB Z71 4x4 SLT. It looks like something that is going to rust and freezeup either shut or partially shut in the future. Kinda stupid looking for an exhaust system. Who has removed it or locked it open and kept the stock exhaust system? Any effects maybe a louder drone noise or something? Oh and how can you be sure that the valve is 100% open when you lock the worm gear clamp on the spring head there is no way to see the flapper itself?????

Have a loaner '14 SLE while my trk has some work done. 20 inch SLE wheels with GY LS. Thing shook so bad on drive home I thought a wheel was loose. It has to be bad tires or balance. I can tell these GY LS are really not a good tire. Even at slower speed and no shake, they are harsh and ride rough. Feel like they are inflated to 60 lbs (they are not). The GYs LS are No comparison to my Michelins on my truck.

 

If this was my truck, I would dump these tires for Michelins so fast. Even if I had to get a loan to do such. Then trueing/high speed balance on the trk. IF still an issue, then I would return to dealer to look elsewhere. OH, I would be sure to check the wheels for run out etc...when changing tires.

This proves that vibration problems on these trucks are not as rare an occurrence as some GM apologists on this site would lead you to believe.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
