ya I think so it's a big fatty I was under it the other day looking to see if it was the oem one or not, my truck is lowered 4/6 and I get some vibrations but hard to tell what the cause is I don't know if it is the tires, wheels, driveline, or something else.

Mine got that Chevy shake since day one. But not THAT BAD. Until I dropped the back 3.5”. Then it’s really bad. Adjusted the driveline angles and it’s like 99% gone.

Static or a notch in the back?

2” drop shackle with the block removed. I got about 3.4” out of it. No notch.

I do have VAS traction bar, hellwig’s sway bar and air lift or rideRite air bags with custom brackets for towing. Gonna grind the overload leaf off soon.

On my 04 RCSB, I started with a 4/6, had to put the factory shackle back in, new shims and it was very smooth, just a harsh bottom out once in a while.

 

It shook so bad at the start, they ended up replacing the transmission case because all of the seals were leaking. Took it the first week on a 100 plus mile drive each way, was the craziest thing I have ever encountered in a car.

Oh damn. At least they replaced everything for you! I got extended warranty but I don’t wanna take my truck in for anything!!!! I’ve done a good amount of things to it now that they might just not touch any of it.

On that body style, there is a pressed in seal at the end of the transmission where the output shaft exits, and has a little boot with a weep hole on it, they all start dripping at one time.

The shake broke the seal and my was putting lakes of fluid on the floor and on the bottom of the truck.

 

The dealer installed the drop, so it was warranted by GM.

    • I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob
    • Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.
    • Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

    • Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
