"chevy shake" fix
 
I've read about this, thought it was the 91 freeway but it looks like i do have it. I've read its the driveshaft, tires, the axle shafts, the housing, axle mounting faces. which one is it?

80% of the time it's tires

LMAO..... I took 90% of the shake out with a trueing of the driveshaft and a tad more out by chucking the axles in my lathe and turning the flange. Smooth as glass all the way to 140 mph.

Yep the mounting flange was wayyy out of round. I can't remember how much material i removed but it was quite a bit to get them cleaned up.

Currently in the lemon law process. Mines dealer has tried 5 times. Still no fix.

Someone I know had this problem and it ended up being the convertor causing the shaking

Sold the truck for a tidy sum to some schmuck through dealer auction in Washington State. Never know..... one of you now could buy my old lemon.. and being a 6.2 double cab it has some curb appeal. That fixed my "chevy shake" forever.

For my 2016 silverado cutting the drive shaft 1.75" fixed it about 80%....my 2016 Denali sierra zero shakes.
