Should you be worried about a 2005 sierra 1500 that has a 0.5 rpm idle with a slight vibration while idling?

If you have average mileage on it, you should go get it checked. That is too low for an idle. The vibration is probly from the low idle.

Why does the temperature change give five reason?

the temperature of what? temperature is the measurement of vibration on a molecular/atomic scale so at 0 kelvin anything you could imagine would cause a temperature increase because 0 kelvin is absolute 0 which means on the molecular/atomic scale nothing is moving, so a slight draft would raise the temperature.


Why would 98 Chevy truck shake at idle?

It it is a very slight shake this may be normal. Engines make vibrations and vehicle design engineers are less likely to waste time and money hiding this vibration on a truck than a car. Generally, trucks are meant to be practical more than luxurious. If it is a severe vibration, your engine may be running poorly or you may have a vibration transfer problem.


What would cause 1998 subaru legacy outback manual transmission noise only happens when driving - not sitting. gets progressively quieter when shifted into higher gears.?

Consider the possibility of a bad differential or wheel bearing. Is it a grindey scrapey noise? If so suspect wheel bearing or differential. If car is lifted off the ground and trans in neutral, frmly grasp each tire one at a time and rotate. If a slight vibration is felt, replace that bearing. This vibration is very slight so pay attention, okay? If not show any vibration, expect a differential (or possibly but not likely transmission) problem.

How can a compound joined by a covalent bond from ions when it dissolves in water?

Covalent compounds have only a slight tendency to ionize, but remember, water itself does ionize into H+ and OH- (with an ionization constant of 10-14). Any molecule will have some tendency, however slight, to come apart under the stress of normal thermal vibration.
