First you read the owners manual. Then you do what it says.

I have a Yukon 2016 and had the same issue. They "speedforce" balanced my tires and it went away.

My tahoe had this problem. Also, is it a suburban or a denali?

My parents have a newer Chevrolet vehicle. Last time I was there, I turned on a setting that beeps when they drift out of their lane without signaling.

I think I've heard that beeping sound in the background every time I call them when they are on a road trip. It must annoy the hell out of them.

I have a 2015 Yukon XL with the Denali wheels & had a similar issue. Between 70-80 mph I'd get a fairly harsh vibration. After several trips to the shop to balance tires, they finally tried changing the struts which seems to have fixed the problem. The rig still rides like shite because of the 22" wheels, but no vibration.

Print out this article, go to the dealership, ask them to read it, ask them if they received the PTI mentioned and why they're acting like it's not a known issue.

you didn't get a high speed vibration from bad struts.

They just finally managed to get the tire/wheel balance issue straightened out.

Had the same problem with a Trailblazer, 2002 model. Take your center beauty caps (I guess that is what they are called) off the wheels and go drive your truck at highway speeds. They are made of plastic and the fingers that lock them to the wheel can crack, but not break off right away. The effect is an out of balance tire and the associated vibration. If you have a bad beauty cap or two the vibration will be gone when the cap is removed.

Google "Chevy Shake".

It's a known problem that GM refuses to acknowledge. Some people have had success by replacing struts and balancing tires and whatnot.
