    Driveline Vibration

    Well guys... after spending three days at my mechanics shop and letting him check out my truck from head to toe, he called me yesterday and said nothing was wrong with it. He said the only thing he could think of was that the shudder/vibration was coming from the tires. I took his advice, and...

    Driveline Vibration

    I will have to look into the balancing ring. I have never heard of that. I am going to check everything out tomorrow so I will post what I find out.

    Driveline Vibration

    It is a 2 piece DS. Also, I have revved the engine from idle to 3k rpm's very slowly and haven't had any vibration that seems to be coming from the engine. It seems to be more speed related than rpm releated. Also the vibration seems to be getting worse, not staying the same. Its starts around...

    Driveline Vibration

    OK that will be the easiest and CHEAPEST route to go. I would like you guys to explain what the difference is between a regular balancing and a "force balance". I will put the truck on jack stands this weekend and see if it still does it and post my findings. I guess if its not the tires I will...

    Driveline Vibration

    No doesn't look like the yoke has any damper on it. Im not sure what that would look like, but all the yokes look the same so im assuming it doesn't have one. As far as the tires go, theyre 275/70/18 BFG AT's. Ive had them rebalanced twice and it hasn't helped. I wouldn't think those would be...

    Driveline Vibration

    My truck is a 2wd so the t-case and the front shaft cant be the problem. I am really leaning towards it being a transmission problem. The fact that the seal around the output shaft is leaking and slinging oil onto my resonator needs to be addressed. But could the shaft be out of balance causing...

    Driveline Vibration

    Done alot of research on this today. Found a thread that mentioned something about a sleeve coming unseated that keeps the output shaft of the transmission centralized. Looked under my truck after reading and sure enough the seal is leaking and i have an oil stain on my resonator where its being slung...

    Driveline Vibration

    Ok guys I need your help. I just had all three of my u-joints replaced with moog joints, and I've had my tires re-balanced twice. I still have the vibration in the driveline which seems to be getting worse. I don't know where to look next. Its the worst right around 60 mph, but it comes and...

    Grid heater shake / miss / vibrate / jolt

    I see. Any ideas on why the grid heater would quit cycling immediately after cycling off and jolting the truck??? This is the first time I have ever noticed this happen. I had just started it and there was no way the engine was up to temp or the intake temp was warm enough yet.

    Grid heater shake / miss / vibrate / jolt

    BTW guys, I did notice the last time my truck did this (a few days ago) the grid heater actuaclly quit cycling without being put in gear. If I remember correctly, isnt it supposed to cycle until you exceed 20mph or so? Just wondering if this could help diagnose any other possible culprits to...

    Grid heater shake / miss / vibrate / jolt

    My 07 does the same thing, about like the a/c compressor engagement jolt that is always nice in the summer. I will check the rail pressure sensor and see if that seems to fix the issue. Thanks for the info guys!!

    48RE Shift Kit Question

    Yep definitely had to learn a few lessons the hard way since having it rebuilt... twice. I am going to find out whether or not he actually did install an aftermarket valve body or just re-worked the stock one. Should have went with the billet shaft the first go round as well which is what I...

    48RE Shift Kit Question

    I see. Guess I will have to live with it for now. If I had it to do all over again I probably would have gone with a single disk converter after reading all the posts on here. I will look into replacing the valve body. I thought I had a suncoast valve body installed, but I could be mistaking...

    48RE Shift Kit Question

    Hey guys, I am wanting to know if it is necessary to keep the shift kit installed. I have a suncoast triple disk converter in my transmission and a transgo shift kit installed. VB is also suncoast. I have already snapped the stock input shaft and have had it rebuilt with a billet input shaft. The...
