Vibration and noises fixed!

2015 5.3 LTZ

 

I have a tread but the search engine here does not seem to find it. I have what I quickly tuned tuned in as an exhaust vibration. GM tried to fix it early on but it came back.

 

My complaint was a noise and vibration at 30-40mph under light load. What I did not realize is how much vibration I was feeling at all other speeds and loads.

 

GM recently replaced my exhaust. Holly crap. I did not realize how much I would recognize the improvements it would make all ALL other speeds. I cannot hear or feel the difference in V4 any more. I don't feel the throttle pedal vibrate at all speeds. When I accelerate hard I don't feel like an injector is bad past 3k RPM. Seriously the engine shook.

 

Honestly I keep looking at my dash to see if I am in V4 or V8. The truck is smooth like a new truck is supposed to be. The drone is gone, small vibrations that I would not have tried to complain about are gone.

 

I have no idea what is different about the new exhaust. I posted this because in the Yukon forum they say a new exhaust is coming to fix the vibration problems. I used to hate this truck, it is really nice to drive now. I keep my radio off in disbelief of the improvement.

Could explain why so many trucks vibrate at the same speed range. Some of the other vibrations at other speed ranges could be slight variations in the exhaust.

 

Will be interesting to see how this might progress.

Would be good to see a side by side comparison of the old & "new" exhaust, or to know what the difference is.

Do you know if they went exhaust manifold back? Catalytic converter back? Please provide some more details. Gas pedal , anything in steering wheel?

I can say i had the exhaust pressure in my truck adjusted once, and it helped for a while, but got worse again. I've heard rumors of high flow exhaust systems helping, but I haven't tried it so I cant say for sure. regardless, I sent a final repair notice to GM this past Monday.

They first adjusted my exhaust and the vibration went away for 300 miles. This time they replaced whatever amount is needed to replace the flap valve in the rear. I have a little more than 300 miles now with fingers crossed it stays fixed.

On a side note, do any of you hear kind of a "tinny" sound on acceleration from the exhaust? On my company's '15 6.2L Yukon XL Denali it has the sound under heavy acceleration and slight vibration of some sort.

In V4 mode the sound was very tinny, like ping ping ping. It is gone now. I hope it is gone for good. It is crazy how different the truck is now.

 

The truck is running like a sewing machine. I am nervous to jinx my luck. I have my radio off most of the time waiting to hear the crap some back. But so far so good.

Same stuff happened to my 2018 Silverado there was a vibration in v4 mode they replaced the dampeners. There’s still a vibration but it’s very slight not like before but I’m still not satisfied.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
