Chevy Shake: Am I overreacting!?

[Schmidt152]

Hey everyone new member here,

 

I've been reading this forum for the past week after buying my first silverado 1500 LT with the 5.3 V8. I love the truck, way more comfortable and higher quality than my 2014 RAM that was a complete abomination.

 

Anyways I came across the thread about the vibration at highway speeds. Today while driving I noticed some slight vibration over 70MPH. The water in my water bottle was moving around but I didn't notice any shaking in the center console. I mostly felt it in the steering wheel. I watched a few videos on the shaking and I don't think it's as severe.

 

Maybe I'm being too paranoid about it being a brand new truck? Should I talk to the stealership or would it be a huge waste of my time? I really like this truck. I want to keep it long term and I'm praying that it will be as reliable as my father's Chevy that I grew up with.

 

I know there are literally hundred of pages on the vibration so I'm not here asking for a fix but rather a suggestion if I'm thinking into this too much.

You read these forms and sometimes it makes you think there is something when there is not. I read these forms and think mine is doing this or that and its not.

Only you can answer your question. Are you happy with the slight vibration? If yes, just keep driving it. If not, get it fixed.

I agree with both of these responses. All of the past five GM trucks I have owned were smooth at highway speeds. I have experienced a couple of my other vehicles start to rattle at higher speeds but that was remedied when it came time to buy new tires with a balance and alignment. If you believe your truck is not operating properly, get it serviced.
