#193 of 1492 Silverado vibration by gwallne

Does anyone know if the vibration problems with the 2001 Silverado 1500 or Sierra still exist.I am about to purchase a new truck ( the old 78 Ford is really rusted ) and have some concern about these problems posted on the boards. I really like the GMC drivetrain and interior opposed to the Ford. Like most of you know , a little research goes a long way in avoiding buying inherit design problems in a $20K + vehicle .Thanks

the vibrations never existed. Other than that, I haven't seen one on a 1500 lately...now the 2500HD has seen some.#195 of 1492 Sierra shakearu by gwallne

In reference to post #190 I was concerned about the infamous shakearo problem with the front end at speeds of 35 and 65 mph. I know that extra frame supports were added for the 2001 model year and some changes were made to the steering but GM hasn't put the sliding windowback as a option . It was removed on the 1500 due to leakage and breakage from undercarriage frame flexing from the new designed frame.thanks

It sounds like you have a bad tire try rotating your tires around rear to front.#197 of 1492 Bounce by txyank1

I drove 200 miles on an asphalt highway this past weekend and did not experience the bounce at 70 mph that I do on the concrete that I drive on every day.#198 of 1492 Yeah, you've got to watch those surfaces by jlflemmons

North I35 out of Round Rock, Texas has a stretch that will make you swear you have a tire out of balance. It is a ripple in the concrete that is just the right spacing that will make it feel like a tire is out of balance at 65. Turn around and go south and the vibration disappears.Jim
#199 of 1492 Funny, Hawaii has the same thing by obyone

that causes the bounce in certain areas on concrete highways....#201 of 1492 Hehe by obyone

the cooled magma is smoother than the concrete...and it's free.

I did get some bounce coming back from Seattle on Interstate 90. In fact at about 85 I decided I had better slow down or my guts couldn't stand it much more - kinda like a stiff legged horse in a trot. I was looking at the surface and could see some ripples, probably from trucks. I am not sure if the wheel base is just the right length to amplify this, or whether the shocks are not quite stiff enough, or both. When I get to Calif., I am going to have stiffer front shocks put on.cowboyjohn
