21' Tremor - Accelerator Pedal Issue

[Puckett88]

Hoping someone can provide some guidance and / or let me know if this is happening with your tremor as well. At pretty much any speed, whether it be 1 mph or 30 mph, i have noticed that the accelerator pedal feels like has a weird vibration / clunkiness feel to it even when coasting down the road. At first I thought it was the steering wheel but I pin pointed it to the pedal by taking my hands off the wheel. For what it's worth, i have a 2.5" pro comp level on mine with stock tires. I can't remember if the pedal did this before i had my level installed so i am just wondering if any one else has / is experiencing the same on theirs.

Join the club, my accelerator pedal started vibrating around 1,000 miles:

Hopefully there will be a fix for it, since it's super annoying and could possibly cause nerve damage on long drives the same way chainsaw and other vibrating equipment operators are at risk from Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome.

I’m at 1,200 miles & have never experienced this issue. Truck is still in stock form.

That doesn't seem to be the same problem i am having. Mine is more of a clicking / clunk feel on mine. Even when i am coasting down the road, foot on the accelerator but not pressing down, i can still feel it.

NVH can be subjective, it's also why mechanics hate diagnosing such problems.

First check and make sure nothing is loose like the lug nuts; though that would usually also be felt in the steering wheel, it's possible that the newer power steering systems won't transfer much feel into the wheel. I know my steering is so dead feeling, meaning that there's pretty much zero feedback, that it almost feels like a video game controller. If it weren't for the steering shaft and u-joint under the hood, if someone told me that my truck were drive-by-wire, I would believe them! The crazy thing is it is throttle-by-wire and I feel more vibration through the pedal than any vehicle that I have ever driven.

Something like a clunk could be excessive play somewhere in the driveline and clicking could be many things as well. One person discovered insulation/heatshield material that was rubbing against the drive shaft.

As long as there's nothing loose or hanging off, it should be safe to take to the dealer.

Good luck!

I'm at 5100 miles, about 3000 of which I've been leveled, and I have zero issues.

I’ve got a little over 3k miles and haven’t noticed this one. Good luck.

Curious do you have Torsen option?
