Is some seat vibration normal?

Hello all.

 

As some of you know by reading my other threads, I have been having seat vibration issues with my truck.

 

I am on my 4th set of tires and I think I finally found one that is a good combo of street comfort and still has a little bite for off road.

 

Went with E-rated: https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tire/dueler-at-revo-3

 

I had the Falken Wildpeaks AT3W and they required a lot of weight to balance. They are 61 pounds per tire, and these bridgestones are 48 pounds per tire and they're both E rated.

 

The bridgestones required very little weight.

 

Although my seat vibration issues have drastically been reduced with these new tires, I am still getting some seat vibration/feedback at anything over 65-70 mph even on the smoothest of roads.

 

Is this normal, especially for these bridgestone which are not very aggressive, even for an A/T tire.

 

I would appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks all.

Why E rated?  E's will ride like a brick, unless you're weighing them down with a load.

Unfortunately for this tire size they either have only P rated or E. I was a little worried about going P rated because I do off road on occasion, and was worried about getting tire punctures. 

 

I have 90 days to try these out. Wonder if I should go back and get P rated ones.

 

I will say these ride a lot smoother than the Falkens. I still have seat vibration, but it's a lot less than before.

I had non E range wildpeaks on my 2015 and could not get rid of the vibration. Half the reason I switched to the 2019 (other have was the wonky 6spd shifting)

 

Running the factory tires on the factory 22"s and have a little seat vibration still. Just had the dealer road force balance and it is better but still there sometimes. Seems worse when I let the truck sit for a couple days.

My truck has the same shake with stock everything.  Since the shake is at the bottom of my list compared to the other issues I haven't had the dealer look at it yet. 

 

Seems like 99% of larger tires size then stock only come in E load. Big reason why I haven't upgraded.

The only time I had almost zero vibration was when I switched tires with my buddy. 

 

It was his stock 18" wheels and tires. Same size as what I have now, only P rated and they were street tires.

 

I wonder if this is just a normal thing for this truck? I figured since the tire I purchased is not very aggressive at all, that I would have zero vibrations, but I have seat vibrations even in the smoothest of roads once I hit 65.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
