I have a 2015 gm offered to replace with a 105% of msrp on any other gm model .Im a little worried that I may end up with another one that shakes .

The 2016 SLT has a eight speed transmission, I wonder if that would do anything to help the shake issue?

No. The transmission has nothing to do with the vibration issues some have had.

Just bought a 2015 Chev Silverado 4x4 crew. First took it in at about 260 miles for vibration, the dealership balanced the tires. Picked it up went home. Drove to Houston again vibration, returned to dealer. Changed 4 tires, said the others were bad. Again drove to Houston again with the vibration. Wife says its making her sick sitting in the passenger seat. Took it back to the dealer, they had a mechanic ride with me. Says he felt the vibration but its normal for these trucks. WTF Never was normal in my other vehicles. So basically left me with if he feels its normal no reason to leave it here, I must be crazy so I take the truck home. Day before Thanksgiving Im sitting by the computer and type in 2015 Chevrolet Silverado vibrations...and pop. I find this has been a issue since the end of 2013 with the 2014 models. So now Im like, damn they know there is a issue but they are still selling these trucks, screwing the consumers over. Ive seen owners have there drive shafts, rear ends, axles, shockes, lots of tires changed and nothing has worked. So today I take my truck back to Cavender Chev in Boerne, talk to my service advisor rep and let her know what I have learned on the internet, she is in disbelief, she takes me to the service manager and I relay what I have found out. Youtube, this site and others. She says she isn't worried about the other trucks or sites, just my truck. Damn she knew there was a issue too! I could read between the lines. So they are doing a pico test which Im pretty sure it wont fix it, by reading other post. The give me a 2016 Chev suburban to drive as a loaner. Guess what? Yup, vibrates at 76-78 mph. Same frame shared by both. Same 5.3, tranny, frame. Checked and couldn't find a issue with the Tahoes, so Im going on a limb here and guess its a frame issue with the vibrations. Can feel it in seat, gas peddle and steering wheel. I don't know whats going to happen but if they don't fix it Im not going to go away saying nothing I can do.

Not to spoil your fun, but pickups and SUV's are NOT built on the same frame.

nice lookin' truck! Welcome to the 16' club.

[atsbob]

Very nice truck Tinman, GMC's have much nicer grills than chev's in my humble opinion...

[f8l vnm]

That's a sharp truck!

Since when?

[redwngr]

At least since 2000, when they started using the hydroformed front rails.

 

Upfitter guide includes frame drawings.

 

These should link to the pickup chassis guide and suv chassis guide.

 

 

1500 pickup frame ref drawings start about page 43. Page 47 is crewcab short box (15543)

Funny you should say this. The service manage and advisor both told me the suburban share the same frame as my 1500. Don't know why they wouldn't. I m driving a 2016 Suburban loaner and it has the same shake/vibration. Taking it on a 300 mile round trip tomorrow should be able to feel more of the ride tomorrow.
