first post to this board hope someone has had similar problem and a solution. i have a new 2015 gmc sierra 6.2 denali with 9000 miles that at red light shakes seat console at a stop in gear its intermittent but gets worse longer day goes. I can bump into neutral it goes away in park goes away in drive shakes at a stop. Took to dealer put washers in both mounts did nothing to solve issue.Took back said they re programmed the torque converter not sure about that one , it did nothing to fix problem. Any ideas? Should i push for new trans and torque converter? thanks john frustrated owner

Was recently looking at my 16 6.2 with hood up and noticed a visible shake every 3 or 4 seconds at idle. Can be felt in the steering wheel and entire truck. probably normal??? check out this video.

Love my truck...hate the idle. Of all the small complaints I have, this one really grinds my gears. Mine is similar to yours..except it happens every 2-3 seconds. Having the air conditioner on or off makes no difference, nor does engine temperature. I know GM is trying to eek out every ounce of fuel economy they can, but at the expense of a smoothly operating engine?!? The idle is just plain set too low. Irks me that I would have to resort to an aftermarket tune to correct it. I miss being able to get under the hood and turning a screw on the carb to fix it (though I don't miss all the other bs that went with having carburetors!)

I have a 2015 Silverado 6.2 with 38,000 miles. I started to get a vibration every 3 seconds also but it was only happening at highway speeds.I was also experiencing a slight shudder when the truck shifted gears.

I took it in to the dealership and was diagnosed with a bad torque converter.

Parts were on back order and it took six days before the parts came in.

I never really noticed the truck having the vibration at idle though.The new converter smoothed a lot of the shifting and transmission random clunks.

Two days after picking up the truck the passenger window regulator cable broke.Smfh.Of course I was 1800 miles over the 36,000 mile warranty.

Rough idle in park and drive

 

This solved my problem, but get both new engine mounts replaced and make sure they put the washers in, the mounts were defective from manufacturer (internally broke), and they are grounded out on the frame by crappy design from GM. The mounts sit directly in the frame. 

 

Hope this helps!

Have the same problem with 18 Tahoe. They installed new mounts which helped but I still felt it. Got the diablo sport i3 tuner and raised idle to 600. No vibration. Then I said what the hell, decided to get a Diablew tune. It’s been great. Love how the truck responds. He also changed transmission shift points and they are firm and fast now.

does the problem go away when you shift to neutral ?  I think you might need more base idle timing, it might be caused by your fuel too...

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
