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?

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.

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
