If you didn't have vibes before but did after the tire rotation then it sounds like a tire out of balance. One of the rear tires was probably the one out of balance and when they moved it to the front you noticed it. I would rotate them back to the way they were and see if it changes anything.

Truck is still up on the rack.. surely it doesn't take two full days to complete a tire balance. Looks like I may have one of 'those' trucks. Hopefully they're just giving it a good once over.

Ok guys, i finally got the problem fixed after several visits to the dealership. The vibration problem is the ring gear and pinion gear which i suspected in the beginning . Chevrolet had an issue with

Had my truck in for the 2nd time today and they tightened up body bolts, checked complete front end, box and exhaust system. They test drove it and still vibrates steering wheel starting at about 50 M

So got my truck back yesterday. Diagnosis: there weren't any wheel weights on any of the tires. Guess they forgot to balance the tires at the factory. So for now, vibration and shaking is unnotice

I have '14 5.3 crew 4x4 that has a severe driveline vibration that comes & goes as even torque is applied with the gas peddle or criuse control at varied speeds . It feels like you are driving on rumble strips even on smooth roads . I have had to my dealer who did a great job documenting it and changing fluids in trany & ttranfer case but it continues so when I return in the spring it will go back and I'm not very encouraged after reading the forum .Thanks to all who post on this & hope we get some satisfaction :)

GM has a solution, they have had it for 3 years.

 

Go thru the 8 step NVH process first.

 

If you are retired and energetic, you will complete all the 8 steps in time to make the lemon law cutoff.

 

But be careful, GM will start swapping out parts which cuts into your time line to make the cutoff.

 

Unfortunately, for those that can't complete the "marathon" in the allotted time frame, we will offer a less than satisfying buy back for a chance to compete in the race again.

What is the 8 step process you are referring too? And did you get a buy back or do lemon law.

So the truck still vibrates/shakes after replacing the tire for the second time. Service Dept at purchasing dealer essentially told me that pico scope was normal and they cannot duplicate as they do not have interstate access. Essentially told me to take it to another dealer. Will I run into issues taking it to another dealer since a warranty claim has already been opened. My truck only has 9200 miles and in my opinion shouldn't be doing this. The other thing is I just don't want a bunch of parts thrown at it. From my research of following vibration threads any buyback or action taken is with purchasing dealer. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

My 2014 Silverado Z71, 4.3L V6 has a vibration at 30MPH, 40MPH and 50MPH.. It comes and goes.. I have put the speed control on as soon as I feel it and the vibration will continue for a bit and then disappear. If I accelerate or decelerate 1-2MPH the vibration goes away.

 

The one thing I did notice is that the RPM's when I start to feel the vibration for all 3 speeds is consistently around 1200 rpm.

 

The truck was fine until I took it in for a service update 2 weeks ago.. Does this make sense to anyone??

 

Almost feel like it is some type of shift point problem..

Hello,

 

Issue seems to have to been resolved and it took over a year and half to resolve. One day driving to work (up to this point GM and dealer gave up on me) my check engine light came on so I called the dealer and they picked up the truck. Turns out my torque converter clutch came apart. The more miles I put on the truck the worse the vibration so after a week and half at the dealership, two transmission re-builds and multiple parts replaced my vibration issue was gone.

 

I only had one question for the dealer to re-build my confidence in the brand and truck, why did this happen? Their response "We don't know"! I pulled one of the dealer employees over to the side and asked "Do I have to go across the street and change brands, trade my truck in" his response "You got to do what you got to do". I only have 27,000 miles on the truck and warranty expires at 36,000!

 

That's expectantly what I did, I traded the truck in for another brand and have not looked back. I will post more in a few days.

Reading through this thread is making me sick to my stomach.

 

I just purchased a 2016 Silverado 4x4 (4.3L) and with only 700 miles on it it is now shaking on the highway from 65-80 mph. I took it in the other day and they replaced the front right tire and said the downforce and psi something or other was wrong/bad. Well, a day without my truck and a new tire and now the thing shakes more than it did before!

 

I haven't even made my first payment on it yet!!

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
