I have a '14 5.3 CC short box Z71 w/ stock 18" wheels and factory SRA tires.

I'm at 31,500 miles and not a single vibration, at any speed, ever.

2015 Double Cab, reg bed, 4.3L bought new. Had a vibration starting at 72 from the RR tire causing the center console to shake. Re-balanced at work & that eliminated most of the shake. It's minor, but kinda annoying. Going to rotate it 180 degrees on the rim & balance. If that doesn't correct it, I'll have it Road Force balanced & go from there. I did have a very annoying, intermittent vibration in the steering wheel and gas pedal that I determined was caused by the AFM. I don't like the AFM concept to begin with, so I purchased the Range AFM dis-abler which completely eliminated that disturbance. Other than the slight vibration in the rear, which I feel sure I can get corrected, the truck rides and handles like a dream. (20" Continentals & Z60 handling package)

I posted this in the vibration thread:

When I purchased my truck earlier this year, during the test drive, there was a noticeable shake/vibration. The salesman stated that the tires probably were out of balance and it was sent to the service department for repair and another test drive before purchasing. After I test drove my truck again, with no shakes or vibrations, I asked what was wrong. Salesman stated that the front driver side tire was out of round and needed to be replaced. They replaced the tire immediately and the shake/vibration was gone. He also said they've seen this issue more than once, new trucks arriving with bad tires that needed to be replaced before being sold.

I've since had no problems in 7000 miles and don't anticipate any. It was a noticeable difference when the new tire was installed. BTW, my truck was ordered with the optional 22's and Bridgestone Duelers.

I may be off base but it seems that a lot of the vibration issues we've been reading about may be stemming from bad OEM wheels and tires.

Nope

Spoke too soon:(. Starting to notice a vibration in the steering wheel from about 40mph to now up to 53 mph....

Front Runner · December 23, 2015

I'm at 8000+ miles now. Still good to go.

I also have a buddy with a 2015 Silverado CC SB 4x4 LTZ and he's not having any issues either.

In total, add two 2015's to the list that are good to go with no issues.

I had a slight vibration for the first 1,000 mi, but it's worked itself out in the last 900 (odo is at 1,950 right now)

Best purchase I've ever made, period.

If this thread was 4000+ pages long by now, I would believe that vibration problems in these trucks are rare.

'15 lt doesn't vibrate

If this thread was 4000+ pages long by now, I would believe that vibration problems in these trucks are rare.

People don't post up when there are no issues, but they do post 100 times in the issues thread... Just my thought. I'm looking at 16s and these vibrate threads are making me nervous though.

No interest in the competitors offerings either. Not because they're not GM, but because of design, feature or powertrain options. The 16 Sierra All Terrain just nails it in every category. As long as it doesn't vibrate.
