On light throttle, makes this noise…

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2015 4x4 177000 miles
Makes a noise almost like when you’re on the highway, and getting out to the side. It has those things that wake you up if you falling sleep, and vibrates. Just like if you run over those rumble strips, but it feels like it’s coming from my rear tires.

Im not 100% sure, but on my C5 corvette, when the Freon gets low it will only blow cold on the passenger side. I’m assuming your probably low on refrigerant!

Left temp actuator always goes out on those, common issue
JMillz504 from United States 11 days ago
Yeah the blend doors are a common issue too. I thought that was going to be my issue but started simple first and Freon was just low!

Did you ever figure out the problem my guess would be the brake box underneath the truck either that or the short rubber lines that run from calipers up to fitting right behind the tires

Shutter or vibration

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2020 LT 5.3 72400 miles
Whenever I drive up hill or at an incline driving 30 mph or faster my truck will have an inconsistent slight shutter or vibration that I feel in the seat and floor( when driveing on highway doesnt happen at all or very rarely). There isn't really anything else that will trigger it like specific rpm or specific gear(im sure it could be the lower gears if it is transmission). Ive changed the driveshaft u joints, serviced transfer case (it was slightly dirty and no metal fragments), checked the diff fluid( no metal fragments and fluid looks good). Looking for any information on what it could be or where I can find a repair/maintenance guild for my vehicle? Any help would be appreciated
