I have already spent over 500. 00 dollars in diagnostic fees at the dealer and still no clue to what the problem is. So at the advice of my brother "SWithrow" setup a Trial Membership in the hopes to get some real advice from Dodge truck owners and mechanics. So far I have received a lot great...

A lot of great feedback and I really appreciate it. This is much more than what I was getting from the dealer. Just to recap the diagnostics that has been done; 1. At highway speeds (50-70 mph) when the clutch is depressed vibration is reduced DRAMATICALLY however I can still feel some mind...

Ok that makes since, yesterday I started the truck in the driveway, after a few minutes of idling I increased the RPM's from 800 to 2300 with no notice of vibration. Is that a valid test to run if my flywheel was out of balance or problems with the Clutch assembly. This problem just started...

Mike, thanks for the advise. I actually have a single axel trailer, so I'll load her down and go for a drive. Prairie Dog, your right, I just measured my DS and its almost inch plus longer than my brothers, Thanks

TCDiesel, my brother is going stop by tomorrow. We will swap drive shafts. He owns a 03 Dodge. Hopefully DS is the same length, Thanks

In response to wcjp: both ujoints on rear drive shaft have been replaced, thanks

In response to HPetrat: The brakes and rotors checked out fine at the dealer, thanks

In response to "MWilson"; Have you had the truck since new?? Yes If so, at what mileage did you notice this pesky vibration?? Prabably 59-60k When the vibration started had you changed anything parts on the truck, got a brake job done, anything that involved someone putting a wrench to...

In response to "HBarlow" My comment was partially addressed to the poster who immediately advised him to demand the dealer troubleshoot and repair the truck under an expired warranty and initiate buy back procedures under lemon laws. That is ridiculous advice. Sir your comments and opinions...

How can I better isolate the Clutch and flywheel as being the problem?

In response to "HBarlow's" comment, I have already spent almost 2, 500. 00 dollars in repairs bills trying to resolve this issue. The issue is not paying the dealer to diagnose the problem. The issue is they want an open check to diagnose the problem, I can't afford to have the dealership...

Yes I have tried that as well, the problem appears to only happen when driving. Very noticeable between 55-70 mph.

Yes the front drive shaft has been removed, no change

Thanks for the reply. The truck is out of warranty (3-36). Only the motor warranty left. Already used that to have the Turbo Charger replaced. I've owned several Dodge trucks and never experienced the kind of mechanic issues that I am having to deal with now. VA does have a lemon law but you...

Hello I am new to TDR I own a 2008 Dodge RAM 2500 Diesel. There is a vibration throughout the truck. Vibration is most noticeable between 55-75 mph. When I push the clutch in vibration goes away. The following maintenance has been done; upper / lower ball joints replaced, both u-joints on...
