Yeah, mine was so bad I could feel it in the floor boards and the steering wheel, and my passengers could feel it in their feet as well. Now it seems more like you are describing yours, "nosier" but tolerable.

 

Well i kinda noticed a little shimmy in the steering wheel when in auto for speeds up to 45-50. But by then im usually shifted out of auto back into 2hi and it goes away. It's almost like a wheel being out of balance up front.

The Dealership installed everything on my truck and I have a signed document stating that they will still stand behind factory warranty.

They are pretty awesome! I took it in because I was having some vibration issues at 70 mph(more than there should be). They replaced all 4 tires(35x12.50x20) and fixed the problem. They also gave m

I had a 2010 Silverado Z-71 4X4, I drove it for 70,000 miles and the only time it wasn't in in 4-Auto was when it was on 4 HI. I always left it in 4 auto and you'd never know it until it was needed. With my 2014, I get a very low moan sound when in 4 Auto if I give it even moderate gas. I leave it in 2 wheel and use 4 HI when it's snowy or when I'm off road which isn't often. The 2014 doesn't work anywhere near what my 2010 did as far as 4 wheel auto. I did take it in and dicuss it with the dealer, and they said it was normal and to only use it when it's really bad out. Personally I think they took a step backwards with this but what are you gonna do.

I agree 100%. I had an '07, '10, and a '12 that would be in 4-Auto from October through May and you would never know it. They took a big step back with the '14 and the supposed "square chain".

How about this:

A 2016 Silverado 1500, installed a 5.5" Rough Country lift, easy enough, changed the 342 rear gears to 410's, went perfect.  Changed the front diff to 410's also and noticed a loud groan in 4auto. Took front diff out again and rechecked everything, backlash, pinion depth and preload, all within specs. The truck was quiet before lift kit, after lifted and before gear change it already had a louder 4 wheel auto.  The kit drops the front diff as not to put a bind on the front driveshaft. 

So bottom line, after pulling front diff twice and checking all specs, it still makes noise in 4auto.  Little louder in 4hi but doesn't seem as bad as auto. 

Anyone have this problem?

Are you ever going to provide any actual informational help in these threads or just continue to make these generic useless posts telling the poster to contact a random email? Your posts do not contribute any useful information to any of these threads. My guess is almost no one ever contacts your email as it probably wouldn't do any good anyway. I'm guessing that's why you disappeared and stopped posting for so long.

I've noticed these type of accounts on other automotive forums too. I'm not sure if its a bot or a person, but I think the only thing these types of accounts do are get you in contact with a dealer to get stuff fixed.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
