Try searching the other forums and discussions as well, there seems to be a lot of talk going on about squeaks and thumps in the Silverado drivelines. Good luck!

Replying to: wthrmn654 (Feb 03, 2007 5:29 pm) 2000 Silverado, 4wd, Z71 package 63,000 miles. I was driving on a newer flat concrete expressway at approximately 65-70 mph. The entire truck started shaking violently with the steering wheel almost jumping our of my hands. Pulled over, checked all tires, roadway, nothing amiss. No warning lights came on. Once I started again, nothing has recurred (at any speeds). Could this be the torque converter starting to go bad?

Replying to: cappy8 (May 23, 2007 7:07 pm) But you said " nothing recurred" as in it hasn't happened since that incident? That was the "new" roadway. If it was your shocks, it would happen more often. Unless you really load down your truck or drive fast over speed bumps, shocks can last 90,000 miles or more. If the truck bounces up and down too many times or there is fluid leaking out of them, then you should replace your shocks. Just my experience.
