Hello all, has anyone experienced this issue with their 2019 Silverado. Truck continues to (reverberate/rumble) throughout the cabin of the truck when braking/ slowing down. Can really feel the vibration when the RPMs are between 1 to 1.5 and speeds of 20 to 35. The service department and GM have no diagnosis.

I have the exact same issue, brought it up on here as well.  2019 with 8 spd and 5.3.  Happens on decel between 25-20 mph like clockwork.  Not an actual vibration you can feel per se, but more of a ca

I had the dealer service manager ride in mine today for this exact issue.  He confirmed he heard and felt the rumbling.  He has absolutely no clue as to the cause or fix.  He wants me to drop truck of

Nope, the rear driveshaft.  I experimented with all sorts of pinion angles and I was able to make the problem better/worse.  Putting it in neutral takes the driven torque off the driveshaft and makes

Do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, or is it a general drive train vibration? Depending on your engine/transmission combo, this could be AFM kicking in. I don't notice AFM on mine until I'm at the same RPM and road speed as you describe. At those speeds and below, the V4 mode is quite noticeable.

 

I haven't had any of the issues with transmission shudder so I don't know if that would manifest itself the way you describe; someone else might have a better idea.

Yes - I get the rumble. I have a 2.7, so I am not sure if it is running on 2 of 4 cylinders at that point but it is annoying as all hell.

 

At this point I am blaming it on the 8 speed. What engine/trans do you have?

The service department, tried a new drive shaft/u joint no change. New tires didn’t help. They stated they actually adjusted the engine where it would not down shift to 4 cylinder and the reverberation was there. The dealership has actually decided to replace my truck. I had to test drive 5 trucks today before I found one that doesn’t do this. TxAg98 is correct it’s not something you feel but you hear and it really got worse over time. And it’s annoying. They had my truck for about 5 weeks before they gave up.

I have the 5.3L V8 DFM. 8 speed transmission. The GM and Service director... Stated it may just be the characteristic of these 2019 trucks but it doesn’t mean it’s right.

Super annoying. About to take my truck back in again for the same thing.  Nothing really seems to affect it, i.e.. temperature, speed, etc.  It always does it the exact same place for me, decel 25-20, regular mode, sport mode, doesn't matter.

I'd be very interested in hearing further on your case that resulted in a replacement.

So finally after going into 5 weeks they couldn’t get parts. The service department had to convince GM to replace parts in the rear diff. But rings, pinions and a yoke are not readily available for this year. Per the dealership. So they finally approved a full rear axle that still hasn’t arrived. So I made the call again to the General manager of the dealership. And he got GM to swap out vehicles.

Before I left my vehicle. I made sure the advisor, shop foreman and director and I were all on the same page. They all could hear it and stated it was to excessive/ severe vs the other trucks on the lot. And the only difference was my truck was going on 800 miles vs trucks that hadn’t been sold yet. But these trucks seem to have this issue and they do not know if it only gets worse with use ( deterioration) per service. They’re just to new they said.

Any findings on this one? My new Denali is doing the same thing, thinking it’s the torque converter but mine has the new tranny fluid and only has 150 miles on it so hoping it will get better over time and as the transmission breaks in.

Unfortunately, all the service department could come up with is that the rear differential was bad. So they eventually were going to replace the whole rear axle of the truck. But they could never get the part in so that’s what led to the dealership exchanging my truck out. They thought this was the issue because when you put the truck in neutral the rumbling would stop when the truck was slowing down.

Wow, that’s interesting. Thanks for the reply. Glad it resulted in you getting a new truck but sounds like your service dept has no idea what they were doing. If it is put in neutral, the load is taken off of the transmission and torque converter. Putting it in neutral the rear diff and axel is still rotating so if it wasn’t doing it it is likely something in the trans.

Great point, I was just happy to get out of that truck since the noise was so terrible. And to be fair the truck they replaced it with had a bit of a rumble but eventually went away once it got more mileage on it. Sounds like you think this has something to do with the truck down shifting and just needs to be broken in?

Yeah I hear that, glad they took care if you with the new truck! I don’t know if it will go away or not. When I posted on here I had 150 miles and have 496 on it now and it’s still doing it.

 

I put it in L6 which gets rid of DFM and it still does it. I am going to put it in neutral tomorrow and see what it does. I think something is wrong with the torque converter but it’s surprising because it drives and shifts pretty flawlessy on acceleration and deceleration other than 2nd to first gear.

 

I would have taken it in already but I had a 2013 Sierra that spent 65 days in the shop in the first few months that I owned it and don’t want to go down that road again.

 

Was hoping someone on this forum might be experiencing the same and it was an easy fix haha

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
