Get a Moog or Timken bearing, should be the same front hubs from 99 and up from the looks of them

The hubs are the same for a 2013. They are $185. BUT. The ABS sensor connector is different then the 2014. I had to use the sensor from the old hub. Just though I should say something.

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

I always preferred Timken when it comes to wheel bearings.

Timkin is the onlt way to go. I just went with the one from oreillies it has a 1 year warranty. And in a year I'll replacw both sides. And by then I'll need new struts. Von

Mine, a slight vibration at 72-78 ish, seems improved with a full tank and/or weight in the bed. Back in the spring, it seems as if it also preferred warmer temps. However, I have leveled with fox coil overs up front, so it remains to be seen what cooler temps bring. I've also noticed that a full throttle episode getting on the interstate seems to increase the 75 vibe a bit. I do agree that it seems pinion angle or rear ends are involved in at least some cases.

 

Prior to all that I had vibes in the 45 range as well. I haven't felt those in quite some time.

Mine is EXACTLY the same. I'm also thinking that this is related to the rear end. Low 50s this morning and it seems to be less noticeable in this weather. I'm also experiencing vibration between 35-45ish. I also notice that when coasting and tension is off the driveline and then adding even very minimal acceleration l, there is noticeable clunk from the rear of the truck. Something must be loose or the rear diff is having some issues. I have another appointment on Tuesday.

 

I really hope to get to the bottom of this. Always wanted a GM truck and I didn't want this as my first experience with GM

If I'm correct, this is the Timken part.

Side note, I did pull the trigger on a new set of tires from Discount Tire. Cooper Discoverer ATP 275/60R20. I had to take them back the very next day to have them rebalanced because they didn't even attempt to remove the GM weights on the first try. So the store manager cleared all of the weights, "ride" force balanced all 4 himself and chewed out his people for me. Good service, no question.

I'm new to the forum but not new to GM 4x4 1/2 tons. I've been driving them since the late 70s. My '16 Z71 is truck number 7, if I remember right. Before my current Silverado I had a '07 Sierra SLE ll. I recently sold it with 130K miles on the clock. Got rid of it due to bad rust issues. Regardless of the rust, my '07 GMC went down the road and highways far better than my new '16 Chevy. In fact I never had a vibe issue with any of my previous trucks. I had my '07 Sierra for 9 years and now wish I didn't sell it.

 

I also wish to hell I had done some research on the new-newer GMs before pulling the trigger on this '16. But after +,-40 years of having decent GM trucks I guess I didn't think it would be necessary....MY BAD.

 

Sorry---Rant Over LOL

 

All that said... with apparently so many trucks having the same or similar issues, I'd guess that by now, GM knows what the cause is, or causes are. And it may be they're just prolonging the expense of a recall. But seems a recall of sorts would be in the GM future and the cost to them wouldn't be cheap.

Yeah after seeing his post I started considering replacing the hubs again. I did something similar with the front drive shafts except i removed them completely to eliminate them as a possible source but stopped there. I couldn't convince myself to buy a 200 dollar front hub assembly but I'm reconsidering. Hard to buy a part from GM when you know the parts they make and install are of suspect quality control to begin with.

ok, just wanted to make sure since I hadn't seen you comment on it and I knew I remembered you talking about that exact thing how ever many pages earlier.

Timken is definitely the way to go

 

Don't forget a dog and a gun, got to have those for a good song !!!!!

Screw it, I'll write the song, give me a couple days.

it will cost them millions in retesting because from what I've heard, we feel it because they changed the mounts on the vehicle to a harder material that transfers the vibes. but I think there are issues with certain parts as well

I'm going to buy 2 Timken hub assemblies. Might get them changed out when I have the shop swap out these Pro Comp SS struts/shocks for Bilstein 5100s. I'm burning money anyway just owning the truck, why not.

Im new to the forum so I hope that i am posting in the right place... i have a 2016 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3 at about 6000 miles it has developed a vibration when it drops in to v4 mode. I was wondering if Chevrolet has been able to fix this problem.

Some are experiencing the V4 vibration and some are not. Best bet is return to the dealer and see if they can offer some advice. I was told my v4 vibration is natural because the V6 is harder to balance. Look into a range afm disable

I appreciate the feedback. After all my research it seems that this has been an issue for a few years now.i cannot seem to find any information on a fix. My truck just turned 6000 miles and everything has been fine up until a couple of weeks ago.

I would start with the simple things first, could be just a thrown wheel weight or one tire that is underinflated.

AFM .... What exactly is AFM? I've seen it mentioned a few times but don't know what it is, or means.

Sorry, still a newb I guess LOL

Thanks!!

 

EDIT;;; Never mind I googled it ... Active Fuel Management. Thank God for Google!!

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      Some Assembly is Required

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.
