Wondering if anyone has had this issue fixed?

I have minor Chevy shake that exists as the center console (I have the bench seat) vibrating between 70-80 mph. Has anyone had this version of the issue fixed and if so, what was done?

The vibrations are not coming from the center console. It could be a dozen things that are causing a vibration.

I agree

I have seen a lot of threads about the shake, don't recall anyone saying it was fixed.

Nope. Welcome to the club. I have the same thing at the same speeds. I had the driveshaft checked today and it was out of balance. It fixed it some, but a small vibration still persists. I'll go do a full test drive tomorrow since today I didn't have time to do a long drive. I'll report back tomorrow

It's just not consistent with the fix because they're all not doing the same thing and the cause are different. It could be something simple like 1 or more tires out of balance or it could be something worse. GM can't do a recall since it's not all the same causes and not all are the exact same vibration at the same speeds.

Shake and vibration are relative and on my 40/20/40 bench seat it's not the center console.....it is more likely the fold down cup holder armrest part of the console that vibrates do to the unforgiving flip down mounts........water in a glass will vibrate like crazy, but my seat, steering wheel & pedals do not vibrate.

 

My AWD Traverse with unit body, fully independent coil - strut suspension has a ride and handling that is smooth and responsive.

 

My previous 4WD Avalanches with coil springs, integral cab/bed and solid frame rode and handled somewhere between a car and a truck.

 

My 4WD Silverado with leaf springs, stiffer & heavier suspension, separately attached cab/bed and solid frame rides and handles like a truck.

 

Bottom line is you can't domesticate a wolf to be a pet dog; if you bought a Silverado/Sierra for a smooth ride and responsive handling, you bought the wrong Chevy!

Hey Tyler. OP had a question that has garnered some responses and as I type, there are 5 viewing right now.

 

The great thing about the internet is you don't have to even log on if you don't want to. Certainly OP wasn't trying to waste your time. I'm confident he hoped you'd skip over this thread.

My truck didn't vibrate with the OEM tires but now does with the Duratracs I had Sam's club install, when going 74 mph the truck will start to shake, getting worse and then subsiding for a while then it starts it all over again it is almost like every 2-3 miles the shake starts up and then goes away. I don't have much faith in my Sam's club balance job so this week I am going to have them balanced at a tire shop hopefully that will correct this issue.

This is interesting because I also have Duratracs installed, and I don't really remember a vibration before that. Could be wrong though

That's why I got my tires at the dealer too. Road force balance is best. Plus they were almost $100 cheaper than Sams club.

No more cheapo installs for me! Had a bad vibration problem with a front tire on the wife's minivan which was impossible to balance after three tries at a reputable balance center.....gave up and decided to replace the "new" tire and found a puddle of installation water/lube inside the tire...dried it out re-balanced and ran fine.

 

Now, before I fill a tire with air I always shoot some air against my hand first to make sure it is not spraying water/mist, due to failure to drain the tank or a missing/defective water knockout in the system.

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      And overpriced. I was in the Oshawa Truck Plant when they were being built. Very few. I could count on one hand how many I've seen since
