Just bought a 2015 single cab silverado 2 months ago, got a full 3/6 mcgaughys drop kit and noticed a vibration when going about 30-40 mph the center console shakes a lot. Anyone know how I can fix this vibration issue?

Not sure how McGaughy's addresses pinion angles with their flip kit but my Belltech kit included 2° pinion shims. Mine were originally installed backwards (turning differential down) and I experienced the same vibration, once I turned them around the vibration was gone.

Strange for a first post but I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 LT 4 cyl / 6 cyl, it shakes hard when it is in V4 mode, as I apply throttle. The shake goes away when it gets into V6, then happens again as I slow down. It does not matter what speed I am going, but it is consistent in the 1000 to 1400 rpm range. Local GM dealer found a tech bulletin on it, took cab off, uncoupled exhaust, moved cab mounts, reclamped exhaust, and it made no difference.

 

Its a unique configuration with a 6.5' bed, crew cab, Z71. It has only 11k miles on it, should not be an issue but is very frustrating. Dealer wants to find another just like it to compare to. I think it is related to a V6 motor you cant deactivate 2 cylinders and have it still balanced. Am I wrong?

 

Driveshaft is fine, wheels, tires, etc all fine. Has nothing to do with shifting, although the newer truck searches for the right gear often, as it has a 6 speed transmission.

 

Anybody with thoughts?

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?

      There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.

      The only problem I have seen this cause is longer crank times.
