2020 LT 4X4

front 2inch lift with bilstein 5100, rear 5100 bilstein but did not touch rear yet for any lift,

 

add 20 inch rims with LT275/65r20 (34.25)

 

problem is now truck vibrates super bad if I go over from 60mph

 

dont know what is causing it, tires are new balanced and just got the alignment done from chevy dealer.

 

dont know what is causing the vibration, could be pinion angle or something? but I dont I heard pinion angle vibration because of front lift? if it is because if that how would this can be fixed? I have no idea, any help would be appreciated

I would start with getting the tires rebalanced.   All your info points it to the tires.

I was thinking for rebalancing too the only thing that stopped me is that these are new set of rims and tires came balanced (at least shop told me), since I did the bilestien shock lift and wheel replacement at the same time so i was thinking balancing may be okay it is may be some thing related with the front lift that cause drift shaft/pinion angle change and causing vibration

one more thing, these are LT tires E rated and came with 80psi, felt ride was too stiff, so I brought it down and running with 40psi, could this be the issue?

Alignment and balance can be fine and in specifications did you check

 ball joints?

Tie rods?

Pitman arm? 

All can wiggle a little,  put heavy stress and rolling resistance together they can wiggle a lot.

Thanks guys, so i went to the local shop (the place I use to go) for balancing, that guy was not working today so i came back and i put the old factory 18” tires 265/65/18 (32.5) and truck start riding like Cadillac again, even better as no more bouncing because of belistien, went upto 90mph not a single vibration at all

so this is tire/rims issue, I bought it from Tirrrack, I bought this size 275/65r22 cooper discoverer at3 xlt E - just because of size as I wanted to go with bigger tires. I called them and straight up told them these are bad tires, they asked me to do the road force balancing if it comes out more than 24 lbs difference it means they are bad ones and they will replace tires and reimburse road force balancing cost.

      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.
