I'm about to trade my double cab for a crew for more room and just to get out of my vibrating truck. The dealership is giving me the run around and I'm just not in the mood to fight. I'm getting one heck of a deal with a special going on right now with 13k off SLT trucks but I'm afraid the new one will do it too. Test drove 4 trucks total and 3 vibrated at the 72mph mark while the other was butter smooth.

 

How many don't? Just post yes or no.

Thanks

My 2014 SLT 5.3 did not, nor does my current truck. As a matter of fact, the Denali is so quiet and smooth it is uncanny.

Mine vibrated at 68 to 74 mph when I first got it a year ago but a rebalance of the tires got rid of 95% of it. I am pretty sure crappy tires are the culprit for most of the high speed vibrations. As I posted in the vibration thread, I've talked to about 25 silverado/sierra owners in the past year about their trucks with vibration problems being the first question and not a one of them had a complaint about it.

I had shake at 68-74 mph. Rebalanced tires got rid of the shake. After a tire rotation I get a very slight vibration in the steering wheel at the same speeds.

Obviously a tire or wheel problem. I get flashbacks to the big Firestone/Ford tire recall from the 1990s, except these tires are not failing.

We've moved many trucks where I work. Only vibration complaint was from a regular customer who bought elsewhere. Vibrated at 50mph.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
