Default Driver has some vibration at high speeds

This email was circulated among the GM FST Driveline Engineers last week. I wonder if the owner of this vehicle was able to get the repair covered by warranty.

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it high speeds.

This is what the dealership found..............





Annnnnnnnnnnd the money shot...

How is that much wire not dragging on the ground and shooting sparks everywhere?

but still how can you not even see that from outside the truck. If I ran over a f@cking mattress I'd still look under the vehicle to make sure nothings screwed up
