I have an 04 Sierra 2500hd and have been chasing this vibration. It vibrates at 70 mph and up. It's weird if your on the gas it vibrates like crazy if you let off the gas it stops then when it starts to deaccelerate it comes back. You can also notice the vibration at lower speeds but it's not bad if you weren't looking for it you won't notice it but at 70 it's real bad. I've had the drive shaft balanced new u joints new slip yoke and the transfer case rebuilt with no change everything feels tight it also does it in lock up or out of lock up I'm not thinking it's the tranny. The tranny has been serviced shifts fine. Any ideas

The only other thing I had do this was very obvious, but the vibration you describe can also be caused by bad pinion bearings...but it should be whining/growling to be that bad.

i've got this same thing, at about 55 MPH it starts vibrating and humming, and it'll get louder if i go faster and quieter if I slow down, but if i just barely touch the gas pedal it goes away, I haven't pin-pointed it yet, but i noticed if i grab the front driveshaft and twist it back and forth quickly i get a small thud, but i don't think thats abnormal either.

Maybe u joints

 

The thump might come from the slip yoke binding on the output shaft of trans or TC?

 

I think there was a TSB on this? New yoke and special lube to use, from dealer.

 

Dealer did my yoke. Gave it back to me and I had the driveline vibration, as described. Took it back and they did front U joint. Fixed it.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
