I have 12,000 miles on my 05. We just got our first sustained cold snap last week. ( i know my cold snap isn't cold like some of ya'lls but the 30's is damn cold for my sub-tropical blood).
In my other thread you can see where i have been trying to find a stupid rattle so I am pretty in tune with what noises my truck makes and when it makes it.
On take off in 1st or 2nd with no load I get a shudder and a vibrating type noise, this noise isn't normal clutch noise and I don't pull often the truck is usually empty. I was beginning to believe it was a clutch problem but when I stop fairly quickly it does it on stopping also. It usualy right before the truck comes to a complete stop. It does it whether the clutch is engaged or disengaged! It also does it whether the truck is warm or cold! I got under the truck last night, all my U-joints appear to be OK and so does the center support bearing.
If this was the standard launch shudder wouldn't this noise occur all the time and have done it since new? What else could it be besides U-joints?
TIA!
