Has any one out there had any or heard of any other Chev SS all wheel drive
owner experiencing vibrations in drive line at highway speeds??. Mine has
from day one and GM pretty much told me I have to get used to it. I felt
like I got a hell of adeal on this truck when I bought it. It retailed for
56k Canadian and i got it for 49k. The real insult to injury is that now as
an unhappy owner wanting out of this truck I am told it is only worth 29k on
trade. Sounds like they have some lemons on thier hands and I'm wondering
if there are any other out there in the same boat as me??

You're absolutely sure it's not the tires and/or wheels?

Sounds like you have a case of "buyers remorse" and are
trying to blame the vehicle. It is a fairly common malady
that dealerships get stuck with a few of you that bought
on impulse.

Could be driveline " booming " driveshafts are funny things.

My El Camino " boomed " at 60 mph, above or below, all was fine, do
60 and the truck would shake. An alignment man measured, and found the
rear U joint was 1 / 16" off. Repositioning the cap up 1 / 32"
eliminated the problem. Could you measure, or mark and remove shafts,
and have them tested by a truck repair shop ? Seems to me your problem
could be as simple as a p[oorly balanced shaft ?
