Long bed vibes

[WStoops]

Anybody with a long bed or standard shift have the vibration at 70 MPH??

I've got both, but no vibration.

I have it and I was at the dealership yesterday and the service manager said he has had to replace the drive shaft on a few trucks to solve the problem. The truck goes in on Friday. My truck also pulls hard to the right. It was noticeable when I got the truck from the dealer in it's stock form. Now that I have put larger 35" BFG tires on it, the truck pulls even harder. Not sure if this is just a case of the truck being out of alignment or if there is ball joint problem. The Service Manager was pretty upfront about the vibration problem so I decided to ask him about the pull to the right. He told me it needed to be aligned, so I asked him about bad ball joints and he said he has not had any problems with them. Should I have to pay for the alignment or should I ask Dodge to pay for it?



Sorry for all the questions.

I've posted over on your other thread also, my truck is a qc dually long bed, 4x4, auto. Had a real good vibration, holding onto the steering wheel felt like I'd been pushing an old lawn mower around for an hour. Took the truck in and the first thing they did was balance the tires, helped a little. The vibration is still there, just not as bad.

You guys probably won't believe me, but I had the vibe problem at about 69-72 mph and hated it.

I got the service bulletin performed for the white smoke and almost all of it went away. Not something I was expecting! Both before and after the TSB I would bring it up to speed on the highway right into the speed range at which it would start to vibrate and push the clutch in and the vibe would go away so I know it's engine related and not drive train. The vibe before was enough to make my mirrors shake and rattle to the point they were difficult to use. Now it's not so bad



Is this normal or are there some injection events that are causing some of these vibration problems?

Jay,



It may be your clutch or flywheel that is out of balance.
