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...

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
