New 2016 2500 Rumble

Rob2500hd · November 29, 2016

Hello guys this is my first post on this board. About two weeks ago I traded my 2011 Cummins in for a 2016 6.0L, didn't need a diesel anymore and decided to buy the Chevy this time as I love the new body style.

Anyway, there is a rumble when driving coming from the driver side front wheel (at least I think). It's more pronounced going around corners. Anyone else have this issue? I'm thinking it just needs a wheel balance hopefully.

I don't have it but there is a thread in this section somewhere about it.

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me. I had the same issue on my 06 trailblazer. Turns out the noise on my driver's side was caused by the passenger front bearing. I replaced both @ 75k and the noise went away

These trucks let the road noise in the left front. A long thread on this. I noticed it when I put all terrain tires on. I doubt it is a bearing.

Rob2500hd · November 30, 2016

It's not road noise. It's a thumping feeling, I can feel it in my feet.

Does the rumbling increase with speed? How about when you brake?

Rob2500hd · December 1, 2016

It seems to be the worst between 30-50mph and going around turns. Seems to be about the same whether I'm braking or not. Going into the dealer tomorrow morning for them to check it out. I'll post what they find.

What tires do you have? There is a thread on it. The Duratracs magnify the sound.

Goodyear Wrangler SR-As, 265/60R20

Dealer couldn't recreate the issue. They say it'll take awhile to dig into it and see what's wrong. I might just drive it for another 1000 miles or so and see if it gets worse or better...

I had a terrible noise with the Goodyear Duratracs, between 30 and 50 also, so switched to Michelin Defender LTX's, and it was gone entirely.

I recently upgraded from my 18's to a set of 20's with the factory Goodyear Wrangler SRA's like you have, and there is noticeable tire noise although not nearly as bad as the Duratracs were so it hasn't bothered me too much.

When needed I intend to switch to the Michelins in the 20" size.
