Silverado 3500

I have had my vehicle since November of 98. Approximately 2 weeks after I purchased the vehicle, I brought the vehicle back to supreme Chevrolet for a vibration (12/22/98). The seats, center console, steering wheel, cup hold, etc. Vibrate and shake erratically when I reach a higher speed. The tires were replaced because they were suppose to be defective, that did not help. The vibration is getting worse. I have been trying for months to get this fixed. The dealerships have no clue what to do. GM has no fix! it is not normal for a vehicle to ride like this. I have tried everything to get this vehicle fixed. Help! help! help! note: The only questions I may not have answered correctly is the dot number regarding the tires and if the vehicle is 3 point, motor, or 2 point belt.( dot number: T302453 tire size: P235/75R16 )
