What shake issue are you speaking of?
Are you talking of the TCC shudder?
If so, there is a TSB that covers that with a transmission fluid change.

Sounds like pinion angle and tire problems. For me, I've got my pinion pointed .5* lower than the t-case and then I've locked that in with a set of RC traction bars. It's shocking how sensitive this truck has been to pinion angle. If it's off by just a couple degrees you'll get vibrations at different speeds. When mine was 1.5 degrees lower (stock setup) than the tcase it vibrated pretty bad between 57-65.

Did it solve it ? Thanks 

Near as I can tell it did. The only speed sensitive vibrations I get are between 78-84 MPH and  I think that's driveshaft related now, but still could be my crappy tires (lots of weight to balance is usually indicative of a bad tire). All in all, it seems like these frames are very sensitive to NVH. Everything comes together. Can't say 100% it's because I corrected the pinion angle but it certainly played a role. Next up for me is a better front suspension setup - then tires. I imagine by then I'll be very happy. 

 

Far cry from when I picked it up in Houston and drove 4 hours home. It was pretty bad and made me regret my purchase. Road-force balance the tires, new/slightly better struts and shocks, and Roadmaster active suspension combined with traction bars, and biggest of all - custom tuning have made it drive a lot different.

Welcome to this forum!   The Chevy shake story is covered extensively in this forum and you will find a lot of potential causes and solutions to the shake.  .  I have experienced a few shakers (not all GM) in my life and the cause has always been a tire/wheel related issue.  Your problem can be as simple as a wheel weight falling off.  Don't overthink the issue or start replacing parts until you've tried the simple fixes.

Another possible fix is to move the tire; front to back or can also try L to R after that. Does your truck have a lift kit installed or is it stock? What make of tires? what wheels? factory or after market?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
