First off, I'm totally new to this site and I'm sure this isn't supposed to be posted in the section. I am experiencing a rough drive and vibration in my 2015 Silverado crew. I began surfing the web in which I found this site. I have taken it to the dealer to fix the issue and recently had a picoscope analysis. Does anyone mind sharing what normal readings should be? Or can anyone share what their readings that resulted in a buy back? Thanks

A big vibration thread in this section. But, you mentioned your picoscope analysis. What did the dealer say about the results?

 

There are two different types of picoscope analysis for theses trucks that I am aware of at this time. The first relates to measurements on the motor mounts for the "rough idle" in drive when stopped complaint. The second one is related to vibration between 35-45 mph and 60-70 mph and a little more detailed. The GM diagnostic guide for the second case is flawed from the beginning because the frequency ranges given to confirm the problem due not match the fundamental frequencies of our truck (at least for 20" tires).

Thanks Guys, I've been reading the vibration tread. GMCSiera4x4, the picoscope was for driving vibration. It's vibrates at all speeds but it peaks at 75mph. The picoscope used to test at 40-55mph, imagine that.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
