Why do some highways have the rumble strips on them?
The intent of shoulder rumble strips is to notify inattentive drivers that they are leaving the roadway – with the goal of reducing run-off-the-road crashes. They are also useful during snowy conditions to help the driver keep the vehicle on the road.

Think back on all the times you can remember it happening and see if you can find a common factor (speeding up each time, slowing down each time, braking, riding down the highway, windy outside, a/c was on, etc)… Figuring out WHEN it happens can help tremendously when trying to figure out what it is…
What should I do about rumble strip vibration?
Dealer says it sounds like it needs the differential serviced ($189), OR the transmission serviced ($239), OR the injectors serviced ($120)… Diagnostics will cost $110 but it would be a waste since there is no CHECK ENGINE light on! Has anyone had a similar issue with this that can provide some hope of me figuring this out without going broke…
What to do if your truck rumbles over rumble strips?
If you have a switch for turning off the overdrive (something like an O/D Off button) then turn it off. This will likely shut down the TCC altogether. If you do any long drives, esp highway-type driving don’t leave it off, but for normal everyday around home driving it will be fine.

Why does my Silverado Sierra have rumble strips?
Over the past moth or so I’ve noticed what feels like I’m driving over “rumble strips” while coming to a stop. It also does it at a slow-roll, say around 15-20 mph. It does NOT do it when I put it in neutral and stop.
