Took mine in today for some recalls and tire balance. They got done 2hrs before I could get back and I told them to drive it around and see if they felt anything off when stopping. They said they feel it but have no idea what could be causing it. I told them about stopping with being in neutral how you don’t feel it as well. They don’t have a fix or know what causes it.

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

Yeah they did a bunch of tests on mine over the course of a week and relayed everything to GM and gm came back with “operating as designed”. Such BS. I’ve driven a lot of cars over the years and not one of them has ever done this. Such a cop out on General Motors part. Can’t believe after all this time they still can’t figure out how to build a transmission properly.

It may not even be the transmission.  My testing leads me to believe it is in the driveshafts.

Mine truck is 2wd and doesnt do it in neutral. You're referring to your front drive shafts right?

 

I think mine is 100% the tq converter or something to do with the DFM.

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 the problem go away.  GM has 2.5 deg. shims in some trucks and none in others trying to solve the problem.  Pro-Comp and Zone both mention this "inherent vibration" in the T1 trucks in their instructions.  I will live with it unless/until GM figures out how to easily fix it.

Good info here, thanks for sharing. I've just kind of learned to live with it. I have to take mine back in for the leaking rear window today and I'll see if the loaner I get does it and if it has shims or not. Wonder if pulling the driveshaft and turning it 180 might make it better or worse. I'm also planning on leveling mine once I get the other issues sorted out - I know a 2" level doesn't change the pinion angle much if at all but might help or make worse, who knows. 

 

Doesn't seem like many people have this issue with the 10 speed tranny though, which might be using the same drive shaft. 

 

Annoying nonetheless. Sometimes mine is pretty bad, others it's not, wondering if it's the ambient temp.

I have the 6.2/10-speed and I DEFINITELY have the problem.  ?

Well shit man, you're just proving me all kinds of wrong this morning ?

 

I had an brand new expedition rental this weekend (6 miles on the clock) and it had the 10-speed, smooth as can be. Might be onto something with the driveshafts/pinion angles being different.

I had the same issue. Service dept told me it was my tires...obviously it wasn’t but it’s documented so well see

I have the 6.2 10 speed and the vibration didn’t occur until after the 2” lift was installed.   But then I put more aggressive tires on and it’s hard to tell now.

Have any of you who have had their trucks into the dealer for this issue gotten any feedback on it?

 

I'm starting to think maybe it's in the rear diff???  I've not read anyone mention this.....wondering if GM didn't fill it properly or something.

You might be onto something - or the pinion angle like you said. Considering it’s affecting 10-speeds and 8-speeds guess it’s not the transmissions.
@lapoolboy did you try the range device yet to rule out DFM?

I have not tried Range device yet - I am still deciding how I want to do it with my Amp steps also needing to be plugged into the OBD2 port.  I may just unplug them temporarily to run the Range and see what happens.  I'm betting it won't help.  I'm tempted to pull the plug on the rear diff to check fluid level.

Yeah it will be interesting - ya never know. Just thinking things that are in common on our trucks with different motors and transmissions that both do it. Rear diff, pinion angle off, DFM, do both 8 and 10 speed trannys use the same torque converter?

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
