There is a difference between the Dealer balancing the tires and having a road force balance. Did you get a print out showing the percentage(I am not an expert but I believe 15 and below is acceptable) at each wheel. If so maybe you could post it and one of the experts on here could give you their opinion. Good luck.

My shaking issue has been fixed so I will tell you what fixed mine and I would almost guarantee this will fix them all. I was building up my 6l80 with some performance parts and sent my shaft out to

Well my symptoms where just that.... a SHAKE! It would shake between 50-60 the whole cab would shake. It felt like King Kong was trying to shake me out of the truck. I could even feel it in the steeri

You could check it yourself with it still in the truck. Just put a dial gauge on a good sturdy mount or base with the back wheels raised and watch the dial indicator as the driveshaft is rotated by ha

No Road Force balance, just your everyday normal balance at local tire dealer.  I will bring the Road Force topic up to mechanic today and ask for a print out to post.

Thank You Tahoe02!

After further investigation, looks like I don't have the Chevy Shake after all, instead I have the Sierra Shudder, caused by a bad torque converter, so says the mechanic who seen and fixed this problem several times on the 2015 Sierra's. We shall see once the parts arrive and replaced!

I was at my brother in laws house a few days ago. He just bought his 4th suburban, he buys them used and drives them to the ground. The sister in law took us out to lunch, he couldn’t make it. I didn’t have the heart to point out the vibration and shake I was noticing. He going to ask me I’m dreading it.

Hello I just read the problems you were having with your truck I have a 16 Denali 6.2 8spd I’ve the same issue as yours it shakes under light throttle from the get go I can feel it in the steering wheel as well ,,,did yours shake at 70+mph ??? I’m very frustrated as I’m not in the states my truck was imported from Dubai To another country so the parts availibilty is limited.... I did however balance the tires which improved a little but not completely eliminated.

did the tachometer jump when the shake occured? and was it constant or intermittent?

Having the same exact issue, could you tell me if you were able to fix the vibration?

Yea I found a fix to the issue. I sold the truck! No joke.

Dealing with the same problems! Was it fixed once they replace the torque converter?

They did work on my torque converter back in 2016 eventually GM replaced the entire tranny for a brand new one. 2 years later in late 2018, the exact same thing started again on a trip up to my lake house. As soon as I had the time, I went straight to the ford dealership and sold the truck in a swap for a 2018 fi150 platinum. Couldnt be happier. I do miss the big 6.2 v8 thought

I have done the following with no success: 2014 Silverado 5.3L crew cab 2wd

 

* New pads and rotors

* New shocks all around

* New U-joints with balanced drive shaft

 

The worst is at 70-75 mph but I do get the shake on occasion at +45 mph.

 

I am going to have my tires balanced and chalk the tires just to make sure I am not having a tire slipping on the wheel.

 

Any other suggestions? HELP!

My truck is doing the same thing your truck is doing. Did you ever figure out the issue?

My problem is not the shaking caused by anything in the running gear.  My issue on my 6.2L 2018 8 speed transmission Silverado is predominantly when running in drive and it drops the motor to V4 from V8 and under torque it will shake you teeth out until is bangs it way back to V8 mode.  The GM bulletin fix of changing the Transmission filters and fluid did not work. Applied the bulletin at 42K miles and it has had no effect on this issue.  Yes, I can achieve some improvement by shifting the vehicle into M from D and selecting M7 as the as the gear and this prevents the truck from shifting to M8 and from shifting to V4 from V8.  It still may shift ruff in the lower gears, but the issue is really when it is trying to run in V4 mode.  Noone seems to address this issue specifically.  They are talking about changing and balancing tires and all those things, but it is not my problem.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
