I'll add mine to the list. 2002 Chevy Tahoe that shakes between 70-75mph. Not all the time, but mostly. I didn't even try to solve it, but bought it a couple of years ago to build it as a fast beater. It had 220K miles on it with a 5.3 and 4L60E and already had performance wheels and tires. Put all new suspension on it because it was dry rotted from the AZ heat. Blew the 5.3 up and changed the engine to 6.0L with a performance 4L60E and 3000 stall converter with a Procharger. That was a big upgrade so I replaced the drive shaft with aftermarket and replaced things like the a/c compressor, alternator, etc. Replaced the wheels and tires as well. Broke 3 pistons (ring lands) and replaced the pistons with forged ones. So now I finally have it running good and thought I would go after the shake. The only time I thought it was less was after I put new upper and lower control arms on and the bushings were tight. After they wore in the shake got worse, so I am thinking it is the wheel hubs. Not sure if you tried that.

I have a 2018 High Country with 23,000 and it had a shake that started a few weeks ago and was getting worse. Some days it wouldn't do it and others it would do it all the time. On cruise control at different speeds is when it started shaking. I took it to a dealer and they referenced Service Bulletin 18-NA-355 and said it was my torque converter and the fix was to drain, flush and fill the transmission with an updated fluid. After leaving the dealership I drove 50+ miles and not only did it not shake once but the whole ride felt better. Before the shake and at freeway speed if I looked at the empty passenger seat it would be vibrating a little. Now it doesn't do that either!

Found my 2nd factory driveshaft had .050 run-out. Switched to a Dorman with less than .010 but still has the shake. Maybe a little less harsh as my keys no longer rattle. Ran the truck up to 75 MPH with the axle on jackstands and no vibrations. Starting to wonder if it is in the front end or frame beaming. Doesn't make sense though vibes are in the 42-47HZ range.

I had this same issue.I tried on two sets of wheels, had the tires rebalanced, stock driveshaft rebalanced, reshimmed the rear axle angle, and had the axles checked for out of roundness with a gauge.Mine was a RCSB on factory 20" and the silver bullet was softer rear shocks.

I adjusted the working degree of each u joint on the driveshaft. 2 degrees is about 1/4". 1/16" can make a difference in high speed 50 mph and over. The closer to zero they are the better. Toyota tundras are within .7 degree and lower on each joint. Trust me it makes a huge difference! Especially on a split driveshaft where there are 3 total joints to adjust. They all have to be the same. Any Shake or vibration is from rotation 99% of the time. Which is a lot of verifying. I used a klein digital magnetic gauge and straight edges and tapes. Vibration reduced by 15+% easy!!

I hate you went through everything I’ve thought of…. I also thank you haha… im on my 5th Silverado. My 02, 07 classic, 13 and 17 didn’t do this. Years ago I had a 06 RST I thought had a bent frame and got rid of it, but now that I have an 06 1500hd I’m experiencing it again I’ve come to learn about the “beaming” I’m doing cab mounts this weekend. 2006 1500hd. Things I’ve done as well: rotors, tires, idler and pitman arm, shocks, alignments, balancing. Everything that would make sense to attack when getting a shake at a specific MPH. In fact, I know the speed I’m going just by feeling when the shake kicks in.

@PHLTHS 4 жыл бұрын

I bet its the Torque Converter. In the GM Transmission calibration, there is a desired slippage rpm for when the TCC is locked up. This is there to allow the ECM to detect if there is any misfires for emissions purposes and It's usually configured for about 10-20rpm during cruzing speeds. If you try and have your transmission recalibrated with something like HP Tuners and have the desired slippage all set to 0, I bet the issue will go away. Or possible a different tranmission fluid as its the desired TCC slippage that is cauing these vibrations.

Ive done a ton of work! New axle shafts, rotors, new 6l80 trans with billet backed tq converter. My dial indicator shows axle, rims and driveshaft are all true. Mine has a slight wobble at take off then goes into an all out frenzy by 60+. Go pro underneath next to try and spot the next issue.

I think it’s mostly frame vibration. Does this happen on the HD? Trucks. My shake over the years loosened my box bolts I lost 2 and the tail gate is super worn out . I found that putting a ratchet strap across the upper box holes closest to tail gate helped my box wiggles but still have the frame shake.

I was thinking about this. My transmission locked up and went out at about 95000 miles. Up until that point, my truck rode very smoothly. No shake at all. Not long after the transmission change is when the shake started. I wondered if the new transmission they put in is causing a bind in the drive shaft reflecting on uneven U-joint wear.

Mine's a 96 S10 with a V8 attached to an nv3500 5 speed. I recently was moving and was hauling ass a few times whilst loaded, it started vibrating a month after. It cracked my passenger side collector by the y pipe. Every time I had it welded it would crack in less than a couple weeks of driving. It vibrates after 90 mph in 4th and 5th gears sometimes violently sometimes mild enough to recognize. I replaced both motor mounts, transmission mount, clutch, flywheel resurfaced, bell housing transmission was inspected drive shaft was balanced. I've balanced all four tires. Can a harmonic balancer being damaged cause problems like that? Break a bellhousing? The bell housing broke months after I moved while driving with the vibration.

2016 CCSB 5.3 6L80 90k miles: shakes around 47mph and then again from 68-75mph. Light acceleration seems to make it slightly worse, but it doesn't go away when off throttle. I can see my bed and rear wheels shaking behind me when it's doing it. Changed shocks to Bilstein 5100s, upped the spring rate of the front with Eibach lift springs, turned off DOD, changed to poly trans mount, exhaust mounts have been changed with aftermarket exhaust (didn't think that would be the issue but someone below mentioned that), tires balanced twice, putting a bunch of weight in the bed deosn't change anything, torqued u-bolts... Going to check runout on rear axle shafts and get driveshaft balanced. Will eventually do TC before it dies and destroys my transmission... Fun times.

'14 CC/SB 5.3L 4x4 with 3.42 ratio truck here. I had the chevy shakes above 74mph with stock 18" wheels and tires. I replaced the rear axle wheel bearings and axle shafts with Yukon's. I measured my driveshaft for run-out per the GM TSB, well within spec. Had a local driveshaft shop balance the stock shaft, which was out. Installed new ACDelco police rotors (supposed to be very balanced units). Those things fixed almost all of the shakes. The cherry on top was new (witnessed ) RF balanced Nitto G2's, the truck is fixed and I can drive 77 or 78 mph with the rest of the world. Frustrating and costly, but I won dang it.

My 2019 only does it whenever one of the tires comes into a state of freefall for a split second aka hits a bump hard enough or something similar. When the tire makes contact with the ground again it will be wobbling violently for a few seconds until I slow down. If it's on the back wheels whenever this condition happens it causes the differential to be put in a bind and pops two or three times.

2001 silverado 2500hd 4x4 extended cab (6.0 lq4 - 4l80e - 261hd ) first timer experience with the Chevy shake and it just started on mine recently, I feel when it happens it is closest to me the driver. Steering lightly vibrates as well as the accelerator pedal along with the entire truck. I started with a rebalance of all my new (3000 mile mb4) cheap all terrains and found a rear u-joint coming apart, replaced both u-joints and still experiencing the shake. My front driveshaft is currently disconnected from the 4l80e - 261hd tranfer case to the front differential trying to diagnose an issue from before... (low growling on deceleration under 35) could still be from the transfer or transmission. Sounds like a bearing noise somewhere along with the vibration. The vibration starts in stages around 30, 40, 55, 60, 65 and worse at 70+ and phases out after 80 + noise lessons on deceleration but is significant. Just starting in on the convo and trying to help get this thing figured out!

I have experienced to 31-34 & 62-68 shakes too. First is TIRES. First too many guys want mud tires with aggressive tread, 2nd goes to Chevy with the CHEAP balls (upper control arms, ties rod ends, etc), 3rd goes to Chevy RIMS, 4th goes to Chevy SHOCKS. But RIMS that are out of round or bent are a key factor (especially when two or more line up their out of round at the same time). You can BANK on replacing the entire front end of your Chevy every 180,000. But I suspect it has something to do with filling the frame with hell like BMW does to help deaden road noise and stability.

17 GMC Sierra 1500 with "Chevy Shake". Very helpful video. I had thought maybe something to do with rear springs but you no longer have them so that rules that out. Dealer had this truck for 110 days. They changed rear rotors, rebuilt rear end, followed by changing whole axle assembly, new shocks, all 4 corners new springs, new driveshaft, multiple alignments, multiple RFB followed by two new tires and more RFB. All this and it was only slightly better. When I got it back replaced the wheels and tires with aftermarket wheels and Cooper tires and showed no change. I then shimmed the rear axle 2 degrees which took about 80% of the shake away for a few thousand miles. Now it is back as bad as day one. Fresh out of ideas myself. Also noticed front right tire is cupping after only a few thousand miles. Thinking about trying Centramatic 300-356 dynamic wheel balancers. Anyone try them yet?

@ryananderson1388 4 жыл бұрын

I have done pretty much everything you have done. Instead of swapping my factory 2 piece driveshaft I had it balanced and its true. Also torque converter locked unlocked. I really believe it could be either the tail shaft of the transmission or its in the electronics. Either tuning, with something pulsing or its in the ABS system. I really think something is turning on electronically at these speeds and making the brakes pulse or something like that. I do know that this 1500 is the only one I've had were I needed to change the brake pads at 40k miles. All my past silverados lasted much longer. Just my thought.

2017, same issue. Shakes at 70+. I've taken it to the dealer service dept. a few times. 1st time they claimed a little bit of cupping in 3 tires after running road force test. I bought new tires...same issue with the shaking just not as severe as before...took it back to service department asked them if the transmission fluid flush would alleviate the shake (found on different forums) but their response was that it's a solution for the 8 speed shake not 6 speed. Is there a difference in in factory transmission oil from the 6 to 8 speed? They felt the shake again and said it is gonna be the tires, which are brand new. Asked me to take it back to tire shop to get road force balance done which I just did today....still shaking. I did mention that there has been a clunking and light rattle noise when driving slow speeds, over uneven surfaces, slow turns, or reversing...asked then to take a look as it could be part of the problem but they said suspension looks fine. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

check the tires might be unbalanced or BAD aka flat spot or tread separation... i had a bad vibration at 70mph turned out the rear passenger tire had a bubble and was lopsided or VERY dangerous, pending blow out cupping can be caused by Suspension issues,Vehicle misalignment, Wheel imbalance or bubble in the tire

Also, the 20’s and 22in wheels/tires MUST be done hot. (Drive for 10-15 min and road force hot. You might have to split up 2 and 2 to do this) there is enough belt expansion in the tires when hot that will ruin your road force day if done cold. Hope this helps ya’ll

The one time it went away for at least a month was when i actually took the left side front strut out and installed a new bilstein 5100 lift strut in. Only had one side done and drove it. it drove like a dream. Finally said okay and did the other side and boom it came back instantly. now i'm temped to put it back the way i had it lol.

My 2002 Avalanche 2wd was in need of attention regarding road feel and shake issues. So it needed an upper ball joint on the drivers side and we put 4 new Goodyear LT 265 70 17 tires with balancing. I was told I needed new U-joints which I knew, but was putting off for better weather. I decided waiting wasn't a great idea and replaced the front and rear u-joints and it made a tremendous difference in the ride as far as shaking as well as the reverse to forward CLUNK! Now at first it seemed smooth as silk on my test rides but after a little bit, I realized the shake (which feels like you're running over the rumble strips on the shoulder) was still there around 50-60 MPH. Then I remembered my wife's 2010 Mazda CX-9 AWD which had a similar "rumble" which felt like it was in the transmission that ended up being a stuck brake caliper. I barely caressed the brake pedal on the Avalanche when the shake started at 50 MPH and it went away immediately! Could my "Chevy shake" be in my brakes? We will find out soon....

As an OEM chevy installs aluminum lower control arms and they degrade really quickly and even come off the line defective. The problem presents itself right at that milage markers.

what are the front end #'s on your alignment print out......camber, caster and toe? most alignment guys go with a tolerance spec everything shows green on the screen but if things are at the edge of their tolerance it can cause problems. the alignment itself doesn't cause vibration unless extreme settings but certain settings with a loose or high deflection component can cause an issue. now that i'm thinking of it have you changed the steering rack mounting bushing? i noticed GM went to a rack bushing that wraps around the entire rack body on one side and i have seen play occur there where most people won't know to check and that can translate into vibration. so check that out and let me know what the result is.

@adampinczesgarageandfabric9930 3 жыл бұрын

ok so probably not the bushings. I forgot GM changed to a different style when they went to full electric assist. but has anybody tried disabling the electric assist? GM software and electronics are junk. i worked at a dealership and got deep into their systems and this is my conclusion based on what i saw. so what if they did not program the steering assist correctly to handle road forces at highway speeds and the assist is trying to compensate exagerating a small vibation that's probably due to deflection built into the stock bushings?

Have you checked the rear axle shaft end plates, where the wheel studs mount, for out of round? It's in rotating mass, wheels and tires good, driveshaft good, it's axle shaft.

I’ve done everything that has been recommended - custom built driveshaft Bilstein shocks with the remote reservoirs all the way around, even have centramatic balancers all the way around. Been through 3 sets of rims and tires. Flushed all the fluids, rear ended and transmission. Nothing has worked at all!!! Trucks paid off, hard to let it go but I can’t do this anymore. I can’t find anyone to help GM just blames it on tires…. All I have done has been a result of my researching and trying to fix it on my own. I see with no change but wasted money. Truck shakes at any speed but 65-75 is ridiculous. I will never buy a Chevy again…

There was a silver bullet for mine. It was pinion angle. My rear u joint angle was about 5 degrees nose high When I first started to lower the truck I started with putting lowering shackles on it, it cut the vibration down and I knew then I was on the right path. I’ve had multiple sets of wheels and tires, brakes and rotors, transmission, driveshaft etc. Lowered the nose of the rear end and it’s gone, put it 2-3 degrees nose down to account for axle wrap that stands the nose of the rear end up under acceleration. When I lowered my truck I also raised the tail of the transmission with the supplied spacer to straighten out the front u joint Truck is perfect now, even on 24’s it’s 100% perfect

I did disable DOD/AFM and torque converter TCC lockup 1st thru 3rd gear only to stop the madness at low speeds but factory TCC lockup tune in 4th thru 6th. I will say that using better trans fluid than the shitty thin viscosity GM fluid and a friction modifier like Lubeguard Platinum will stop the TCC shudder also. Change the fluid at least every 30K miles. Also reverse the trans cooler thermostat to flow all the time if you don't live in a super cold climate. I have seen many fail, overheat and fry the trans pretty quick.
