2015 GMC 3500 DRW Crew Cab, 65K miles. Vibration started a while after new Michelins was installed. Tried another set of new Michelin; no change. Replaced driveshaft; no change. Replaced transmission fluid and filter; no change. Replaced shocks with Bilstein; no change. Installed Bilstein steering dampener; no change. Installed new front rotors and calipers; no change. Installed Centramatic balancers; no change. I love a paid off truck, but that F-450 is looking better by the minute....
@@AnthonyJ350 it could very well be, but it could also be the frame. This is a known problem with 2014-19 models, and I think I've done enough. Time to replace while it is still tolerable to drive it. There is zero difference operating it in 2WD or 4WD, so my next step would have been all new front suspension and steering replaced. Thanks for posting your video, this must have a severe impact on GM's future, I, for one, will never look at a GM product again, and I've had them since 1982.
Awesome video man just recently got myself a 2015 1500 Chevrolet LTZ and shakes at 75 mph on the highway, will definitely talk to my dealer about it, thanks
@@justinvaldex5892 If im you, have a trusting mechanic check it out, it could be something else than tires. I took a chance and replaced them. Luckily that was the reason or else I would of spend 800 dollars on new tires for no reason.
2015 2500HD (currently @138k miles) started the shake after I replaced the first set of tires. I ended up having to find a dealer that had a Road Force balancer and had them put the same OEM LTX Michelins back on and get them to get tires that would RF balance under 10lb. I then ended up after that set (@110k) I decided to upgrade to to a set of Toyo's.. The vibration was so bad and after about swapping 13 different tires to get them within RF balance range they still vibrated. We took a vacation to TN (from NJ) pulling a 13k lb fifth wheel, the vibration was so bad that it would vibrate everything in the truck (felt like a very bad driveshaft shaft U joint) so I ended up taking the truck back to the shop that installed them and had them buy back the tires. I ended up going back to LTX Michelins and getting the RF balance @8 lbs on all four tires and the vibration is once again gone.. I have yet to trailer the fifth wheel long distance so I'm not sure if that is also resolved.
My 86 K20 had the shake after I changed the rear suspension rubber... I just greased it up better and it seemed to help... Stay safe... Have a great day...
2015 silverado 3500 (6L Gas 4WD) had transmission go then GM rebuilt it and there is now a shake. It has quite a bit of load on it at times, but not over what it's rated for. However, it only happens at certain speeds and mainly in 3rd gear and most frequently when going up hill however it happens on flat and downhill sections. I have only experienced it in RWD if that means anything. It comes and goes even not rearing its ugly head for long periods of time, but it has come back. Most of the time it feels like hitting a series of moderate bumps in the road, but now a more vibrating shake has come where you can sort of hear it too and that feels like going over rumble strips. It's been just about a year after the tranny has been rebuilt and this has been happening ever since and Chevy even looked at it again saying that nothing was wrong with their workmanship but it persisted soon after that.
@@AnthonyJ350 when it was taken back to Chevy for it they flushed the fluid and reset the TCM so it would relearn. Those are the two actual service bulletins on that trans. However the bulletins about the 8L90 trans found in the 1500s has identical issues to what my 6L90 is experiencing, yet it isn't listed in the bulletin nor does it have it's own. And that bulletin says that if it's experiencing what it is to replace fluid and the torque converter which is odd because it happened within a month after that torque converter was replaced. That's why I believe it's just another bad torque converter that this Chevy dealership says is fine. That dealership btw is like always getting attacked because of bad customer support so it makes sense that they would've charged us to say everything is fine when it's clearly not.
@@JakeLikesTech I would talk to a local transmission shop and see if they have a solution since the truck has been out long enough. I had my 4L60E rebuild 8 years ago and it was complete updated and flawless.
@@AnthonyJ350 we have talked with a shop and they said they could try to reset the TCM or change the fluid again which are both things that Chevy did. I just completely useless to focus on things that have already changed, in my view it's the torque converter they replaced the busted one with was garbage out of the box. It's a real shame cause this is a work truck and can't afford to be in a shop or anything any more so it's likely going to be traded in soon anyway. If it wasn't a truck in such a situation I would definitely be working on trying to solve the issue, but it also angers me that this dealership charged 300 to say it's fine when there was clearly still Chevy shake present. I understand that it's a gray area because it's not named under that specific TSB but it's very obvious that there is an issue that it's wrong they didn't try and fix the issue when it started so soon after they replaced it let alone charging us to tell us that.
@@JakeLikesTech I would give Redline a call and ask if they're aware of this issue. I've always had better results every time I switch to their fluids. Except for motorcycles, made my bike shift like crap and I ended up going Motul.
2006 Silverado 3500 HD CCLB Duramax has had shake since new but it has gotten worse with age. Have tried new tires, wheels, road force balancing, driveshaft balancing, rearend inspection, new brakes and new cab mounts all around.. Still likes to rattle your fillings. It's frustrating that it can't be fixed.
This is happening to me on a 1998 Chevy 1500 and it can happen as speed as low as 10 miles an hour. If I hit even a tiny bump, it triggers the whole truck to violently shake. Sometimes I can drive out of it by speeding up to about 60 miles an hour and it’ll level out or I have to come to a complete stop.
i figured mine out first try, SOmething not listed anywhere i ever see is the rear control arm bushings on mine were allowing the pinion angle to move in the rear when you hit a higher speed it would twist the axle more and make the joint get out of phase with the front one causing driveshaft to speed up n slow down every quarter rotation...
Also had steering wheel shake replaced a tie rod and upper ball joints and did new from break and got new tire mounted and balanced and ilignment the steering wheel dosnt shake anymore but I still get the vibration at highways speeds and the steering wheel is also at arround 1 o'clock when driving str8
I have it in a 17 1500 LT. Tried rf blanancing. Dial indicator on axle, rims, driveshaft but all are within spec 30 thousandths. Did it before and after the new trans and billit backed tq converter. Slight wobble at take off then up to an out of balance washing machine spin cycle by 60mph. Still at a loss. Buying a go pro to put under the truck to watch whats happening.
I had this same issue and if I could offer a piece of advice it would be to not throw money at parts without first diagnosing because this issue has many causes which are inexpensive fixes.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.Take the time to have someone check everything in the drive line and you will find the cause.
@@AnthonyJ350 A bunch of little things were slightly off but what really dampened the shake in my case was going to softer rear shocks.The fix is almost always different for everyone but its always something in the driveline from the transmission back
AnthonyJ350, No I haven’t. Every time I would take it in they kept saying it was the tires so I went and bought four new BF tires and it still vibrates. With just 16,000 miles you would think General motors would do something about this!
@@davidhutcheson3496 I would try the areas covered in this video. Hopefully you can isolate the problem then show them and get them to fix it. Keep in mind a lot of newer techs don't like to troubleshoot anymore.
@David Hutcheson did you ever fixed your truck shake ? My 2019 silverado 2500hd is doing the same at around 70mph I already ordered a custom steel driveshaft to see if it helps.

I have a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 classic my Chevy Shake is intermittent sometimes it does it usually above 70 mph because it doesn't more often than not it doesn't but when it does is very very violent
@@AnthonyJ350 it's an automatic transmission so how would I take it out of overdrive? When it starts that violent Shake it starts gradually and progresses pretty rapidly to where I have to stop. When I start to slow down and apply the brake it gets even worse until I come to a complete stop. When I start back up again usually everything is fine and it doesn't do it again
@@daleeubanks7314 in having the same issue on my 2013 gmc sierra 5.3. Haven't figured it out. I've balanced the tires, flushed the transmission and differential, and put all new shocks/struts on. No improvement. I start feeling the shake at about 60km/h, usually gets a little better until about 110km/h. But as you mentioned, it can get worse sometimes when slowing down until you stop and then it starts all over again.
I bought a 2017 2500hd Silverado Duramax and have been fighting this for over 4 years now. 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…
Same here man I have spent over $8,000 trying to fix it and I still have the shake. Whole new front end, tires, motor mounts, u joints, driveline, etc… “buy a Chevy they ride smooth” lmao what a joke

Have a 2017 seirra, had the shake pretty bad I replaced the rear stock shocks with bilstein 5100s and it solved about 90 percent of the shake, easy install and much nicer ride as well.
Thank you for intelagent bridges, 2.5 weeks of rabit hole then after a 1000 another 614 from garage and 2 key points that brought the attention,.. vast arr still there, chev shake im shaking head to gmc seria 1500 45-55 hum slow down 20-0 heavy, heavy rumble did dif did ball jio ts now 2time wheel bearing tranfer case control arm still going, oh ya alilinment , already rebuilt engine
@@AnthonyJ350 actually tomorrow im siffering it its over full and poddiblly tweaked torque converter, that hum and low gage speed to stop wicked heavy shake seems to habe to be same reason i took back dif out almost popped out eaton lock, so glad i didnt, ive came to a solution adimit over five times in 2.5 weeks, stressed spent and lost money, then shop and the problem still there, never had chevy shake nefore, this is new, possible aluminom back drive shaft off ballence? I drive like an old lady but side boxes roof racks carpenter dump runs a lot of weight also 1 boken motor mount i knew about 2 years ago, but baby it , hell bought her 2 new ones, the firefighter who had it before hacked it beat on it, i lost timeing chain and had engine rebuilt 2.5 years ago way already over spent worth but its my best and most important tool in the bag of tricks, will take any advise or feedback, thank you in advance
My 16 1500 vibrates when I'm just like coasting and just touch the gas a little or just touch the gas going up a small incline with 84k miles .. hopefully it isn't the converter like on my old 12 that would shutter and bang hard
This was my BIGGEST fear when I thought long and hard before buying my 2018 Sierra. Fortunately, up till this point no shake. In the event it did shake I did a lot of research and it seems the main culprits are the axles and the drive shaft.
Ya it seems to be poor quality control as far as the axle shaft and driveshaft. The few people that have reported they had the torque converter replaced I'm leaning towards most likely driving the truck too aggressively or working it hard as soon as they got it.
@@AnthonyJ350 probably did a burn out as soon as they left the dealer. I did not exactly baby my truck but I never drove at the same speeds. I would drive between 55 -70 MPH. She has 24,000 miles and I've yet to floor it from a stand still and I have the 6.2 so I guess I'm pretty reserved.
@@leer125 yes!!! But mine is fixed now.😃😃😃 bought new tires and and watched tire shop boy road force balance all 4 tires. They all have to be under 15 on the road force or forget it!!! At tire shops they teach that 25 is ok... but it is not for our trucks.
2016 2500 6.0 6L90. Console and seat shake like crazy 60-80 mph. 3 new transmissions, 2 sets of tires, 4 rebalances and rotates. I'm gonna mount a gopro under the truck and see if I can get an indication of shaft shake. My fear is the camera will be doing all of the shaking and it'll get me nowhere. Frustrating. Beyond frustrating. I'd be done with GM, but what's my alternative? Ford 10 spd shakes, blown turbos, or 5.0 timing issues? Dodge lifter or manifold issues? If you look up Dodge in the dictionary, it says "to avoid, stay away".... Am i really gonna have to consider Toyota? I work way too hard and spend way too much money on this garbage.
Its funny i pulled drive shaft it was out a little, put back in went for ride Vibration a bit better and bam after 100 miles trans let go lol 80 k miles , converter gone . What luck, tossed trucj in Garage bought wife older f150 with 82 k as her last one lasted 540 thousand miles, only old chevys for me im done after 2 bad ones thank you for your post.
I have taken my driveshaft off and coasted down a mountain road up to 80 mph. I still had shake. That eliminated the transmission and drive shaft from the equation. It did seem a little less which makes me think it is definitely in the rear end. GM already replaced my rear end and rear springs and shocks. So now I don't know 🤔
Could be any of multiple reasons? I’ll take door # 3 ? #2 ? Lousy computer generated drive train ? Effort to save costs and weight led to a mentality of “ What’s the least we can use to get by”. ? Over engineered ? Overly dependent on customers “ teaching” the program how to work properly ? People who spend 40 - 70 thousand for a vehicle have a REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF THE DAMN THING WORKING CORRECTLY ? I guess GM IS GOING BACK TO THE OLD DAYS OF MAKING BETTER COMMERCIALS INSTEAD OF BETTER VEHICLES ? Let the Buyer Beware ! 😪
It does suck, however every manufacturer does this. It's just which problems are you willing to deal with. I think gone are the days someone can retire and buy "their last truck" and expect it to last 20 years.

Have a 2017 seirra, had the shake pretty bad I replaced the rear stock shocks with bilstein 5100s and it solved about 90 percent of the shake, easy install and much nicer ride as well.
Has the transmission fluid been changed recently? Also is it a half ton or a heavy duty?
I want my kiddo to take her usa dmv road test in your truck..... bet the dps guy would freak out when he glanced at the speedometer
Ha ha, ya the KM throws off viewers sometimes.
Thank you for intelagent bridges, 2.5 weeks of rabit hole then after a 1000 another 614 from garage and 2 key points that brought the attention,.. vast arr still there, chev shake im shaking head to gmc seria 1500 45-55 hum slow down 20-0 heavy, heavy rumble did dif did ball jio ts now 2time wheel bearing tranfer case control arm still going, oh ya alilinment , already rebuilt engine

Sorry just started needinh glasses and cant type hence typos
So many peoe experianing simular issues i love chevy and my gmc, we need to solve these malfunctions, i hate to do any damage to it
My 16 1500 vibrates when I'm just like coasting and just touch the gas a little or just touch the gas going up a small incline with 84k miles .. hopefully it isn't the converter like on my old 12 that would shutter and bang hard
Did you try the updated transmission fluid?
@@AnthonyJ350what is the updated fluid?
@@michaelmosley1817 I put a link in the the description about it.
I feel my vibration in the steering wheel at 110-120 Km/hr and it only does it sometimes.
Could it be the road you're travelling?
This was my BIGGEST fear when I thought long and hard before buying my 2018 Sierra. Fortunately, up till this point no shake. In the event it did shake I did a lot of research and it seems the main culprits are the axles and the drive shaft.
Ya it seems to be poor quality control as far as the axle shaft and driveshaft. The few people that have reported they had the torque converter replaced I'm leaning towards most likely driving the truck too aggressively or working it hard as soon as they got it.
@@AnthonyJ350 probably did a burn out as soon as they left the dealer. I did not exactly baby my truck but I never drove at the same speeds. I would drive between 55 -70 MPH. She has 24,000 miles and I've yet to floor it from a stand still and I have the 6.2 so I guess I'm pretty reserved.
@@jewllake replaced my axles with yukons and bought new drive shaft.. not the problem
@@aaronmccurdy8843 after replacing drive shaft and axle shafts still same issue?
@@leer125 yes!!! But mine is fixed now.😃😃😃 bought new tires and and watched tire shop boy road force balance all 4 tires. They all have to be under 15 on the road force or forget it!!! At tire shops they teach that 25 is ok... but it is not for our trucks.
2016 2500 6.0 6L90. Console and seat shake like crazy 60-80 mph. 3 new transmissions, 2 sets of tires, 4 rebalances and rotates. I'm gonna mount a gopro under the truck and see if I can get an indication of shaft shake. My fear is the camera will be doing all of the shaking and it'll get me nowhere. Frustrating. Beyond frustrating. I'd be done with GM, but what's my alternative? Ford 10 spd shakes, blown turbos, or 5.0 timing issues? Dodge lifter or manifold issues? If you look up Dodge in the dictionary, it says "to avoid, stay away".... Am i really gonna have to consider Toyota? I work way too hard and spend way too much money on this garbage.
Did you try the updated transmission fluid?
So if i remove and high speed balance my aluminum drive shaft will this help ? Has anyone tried this ? Thank u
It could if the driveshaft isn't "true" and the shop finds it needs balancing.
Its funny i pulled drive shaft it was out a little, put back in went for ride Vibration a bit better and bam after 100 miles trans let go lol 80 k miles , converter gone . What luck, tossed trucj in Garage bought wife older f150 with 82 k as her last one lasted 540 thousand miles, only old chevys for me im done after 2 bad ones thank you for your post.
I have taken my driveshaft off and coasted down a mountain road up to 80 mph. I still had shake. That eliminated the transmission and drive shaft from the equation. It did seem a little less which makes me think it is definitely in the rear end. GM already replaced my rear end and rear springs and shocks. So now I don't know 🤔
I have the shake at 70 mph and on in a 2015 Gmc Denali 2500 duramax
What did you diagnose the problem to?
2015 gmc 3500 cc long duramax 4×4 single wheel 80k no shake
Thanks for sharing!
I have a 2016 2500hd gas with chevy shake
How did you fix it?
Could be any of multiple reasons? I’ll take door # 3 ? #2 ? Lousy computer generated drive train ? Effort to save costs and weight led to a mentality of “ What’s the least we can use to get by”. ? Over engineered ? Overly dependent on customers “ teaching” the program how to work properly ? People who spend 40 - 70 thousand for a vehicle have a REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF THE DAMN THING WORKING CORRECTLY ? I guess GM IS GOING BACK TO THE OLD DAYS OF MAKING BETTER COMMERCIALS INSTEAD OF BETTER VEHICLES ? Let the Buyer Beware ! 😪
It does suck, however every manufacturer does this. It's just which problems are you willing to deal with. I think gone are the days someone can retire and buy "their last truck" and expect it to last 20 years.
Dodge also has these problems....
What was the fix?
This is terrible, lets stop guessing and figure it out.
It's not guessing because there could be different reasons for the vibration
What do you think he’s trying to do?
Sometimes things are engeered to make fixing impossable, like to believe though
Maybe reinventing is an answer keep us posted, please, i have a layve
You first since Chevy can't even figure the damn things out.
