hmm K sounds good i have a appointment set for next week at a local drive line shop to have my driveshaft checked maybe ill have them look at my diff at the same time . Thanks for the reply . 

Any update to the driveshaft and rear gear check?

 

I also noticed this video today. I talked with Driveline Performance last winter and they mentioned they were testing with the driveshaft concerns on the Chevy Shake Issues but they really shocked me when they mentioned that they were testing with custom axles which they mentioned were thinking of more of a culprit of concern.

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 have not had my driveshaft balanced yet switching my axles made a hugee difference almost perfect i will be buying a 2 piece driveshaft eventually so i am not going to waste my money on getting mine re balanced . This way if it is a backlash issue or a balancing issue the 2 piece unit will get rid of the vibration transfer .

Just know that Driveline performances doesnt make a 2 piece for 4 wd vehicles.

 

What axles did you order and where from? Have a part number?

I used to have a lot of input in this thread with my 2016 silverado. It is a 2wd crew cab with a 6.5' bed. So from the factory I have a 2 piece driveshaft and I still have a shake/vibration. It really is very minor now after all of the parts I have thrown on it. First started at around 8000 miles. I just thought it was something with my spindle lift and/or rear block. It wasn't. Since then I have had my OEM 2 piece driveshaft balanced to find it was perfectly fine. Very minor unbalance but it was balanced out and still had the same vibration. Then I swapped the rear 3.42 gears for 4.10 and also swapped out the axles. Of course this changed the speed output of the driveshaft to spin more at highway speeds. It basically brought the vibration down to a 68mph area but still there. Although, the axles really did seem to help the most in cutting down the vibration. I don't have it all the time and when its there it is very minimal. I think its barely there now or due to being at 65k miles now I have gotten used to it. So regardless of what people say swapping to a 2 piece "fixes" it I highly doubt it. 

 

Also I need to add that I really have a strong feeling the shake is in the programming or ABS system. I also have blackbear performance tunes installed and for my first initial tune he sent me I had zero vibrations. I had him modify the throttle response back down for me a bit and when I loaded that tune it seems the vibration came back.

Someone I was talking with brought up a very interesting issue. He asked if all of the vehicles having these issues came from the same manufacturing plant. So I mentioned that to some others and what has been an interesting find so far is that every vehicle VIN that starts with  the number '3', was built in Mexico. have confirmed now that three of these vehicles VIN's start with the "3". So out of curiosity, and anyone willing to post, does your VIN start with a 3? Not going to make any difference but sure would be interesting , at least for me to see how many others do. I had to get winter tires and got some BFG KO 2's. They are a bit hard to balance so unfortunately i get some tire vibration now but when spring hits will try some of the Michelin's. The BFG's are the best I have found for where I live for the kind of snow and weather we get. Was concerned the Michelin would not be good as there is not anyone else around here that has them on anything.

Mine starts with 3 and has it

My understanding is that the crew cabs ALL come from Mexico.

Great to hear. Dealer said my issue is the torque converter I will see later this week if it solves my vibration issues

You got the Yukon’s and shaft at same time? Which would you suggest getting done first? Are the

Did the Yukon Axles first which got rid of 90% of my vibration the driveshaft got rid of the rest .

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
