2000 RPM Vibration FIX TSB out

[SRH]

2000 RPM Vibration FIX TSB out As of Feb 10 2005 there is a tsb to fix a 2000 rpm - 65-75mph Vibration. Don't call or ask a deader for the TSB number. DC call ,fax it to the manger. They told him not to give it out until next week he said he has a copy of it and will fax it to me as soon as he gets the ok. The district manger didn't have a yet. This is the dealer that I turn my my 04 into that was bought back in dec and was ask by DC to try it and have fixed it and I have personally took it for a good drive and lets just say it was smooth as a babys but,from 65 to 80mph. I was very imprested and its about time. DC called the Dealer and had them do it before they shipped it out. There is one thing the fix may not work on all truck but the dealer said they will try it on every truck that has that Vib. Two out of three trucks were fixed just at this dealership.

Ok Here is what they did Balanced the driveshaft the old way on the truck and with claps they did it at the dealership. The TSB doesn't say order a new driveshaft but they did any way. I look and it was new but I didn't see any were they add or took off weigt. They told me they would do the same for my 04. 5 that has the same vib if I wanted. Oo.

There is no TSB as far as I know. There has been a procedure out (from DC engineering) for several months that has you balance the shaft(s) on the truck using the procedure that has been in the factory service manual for many many years. I have posted the process several times, and have had great results using it. Seems some dealers just want to replace parts, instead of really spending the time to fix the problem. If your dealer has a good relationship with his local DC tech specialist, they have the procedure.

On another note, take a peek under the front of an 05, and notice there is a balance weight on the front yoke. Looks like they are balancing them as an assembly.
