Vibration Poll

[Gadgetman]

If your truck has the dreaded 2000 rpms vibration,how is it equipped? 4X4 or 4X2 ,short or long bed... etc.

 

[Spooled-up]

I have the 2000 rpm drone and I've got a 4x4 long bed, qc, 4:10, 6 spd, and ps hose tsb has not been done. It's Flame red clearcoat if that has anything to do with it.



I can't check all of the options off on the poll because it'll only let you check one.

I have it. Poll dosent work. DRONE at 1950 up

2000 Drone

New to the site but I too have the drone at 2000rpm. 1 month old 2003 cummins, 4x4, auto 48re, 4:10 short bed and quad cab. How do we get rid of it? I want to hear the engine and turbo not the exhaust if that is the problem. :{

Their is no 3. 96 gears, it is 3. 73 or 4. 10





Anyway I don't know if I have what all you reffer to or not. Their is vibrations that you can feel but it all increases with engine speed and is not worse at any cetrain speed. I just asume it is normal Cummins vibs.

 

[RobbieH]

Correct, sorry thinking of something else. Have 3. 73 gears.

How's this for a different response?? I own a 2002 2500 4X4 auto and a 2003 2500 4X4 6 spd HO. The 2003 has no noticeable vibration, but the 2002 has a pretty bad one at around 2,000 rpm. Go figure.

Okay, so who has the answers as to how to correct the problem? Someone has got to know how by now!

 

[DPKetchum]

D. C. told me they had TOP men working on this!!

 

[FKieser]

HOPE!

I hope you are right! I have never wanted a vehicle so much in my life to have something like this spoil it. I understand that there will be more engine noise and that lovely TURBO sound but not an obnoxious drone.

 

[DPKetchum]

I meant that as a oxymoron. Thats what they said but I bet it was cured with the NEW DESIGNED exhaust manifold and turbo on the 04. 5bet never hear a word from their TOP men. Call and complain. get them to open a file I did 5 months aho. I think others did also. Post what they tell YOU. 1800-992-1997. Have vin. number handy.

Well , hopefully "they" can fix it soon or maybe Mr. Magnuson and Moss can "help" me get an 04. 5

I will give them a call believe me. I am still trying to pinpoint the exact problem though. The noise that I am hearing does not seem to occur or is not near as noticeable if I rev it to 2000rpm in neutral. Would this still be related to the exhaust or something else?

 

[RobbieH]

If your goal is to feel the vibe we are talking about, make sure you have your A/C on and the compressor is running. It makes the problem a lot worse.

 

[KBennett]

I have it....

but I am getting used to it. My Dad and I were riding together tonight in my truck with the cruise on 70 and he said "yours has a drone that mine doesn't have". I sped up to 75 and showed him the problem goes away.



I guess it's not my imagination. I keep forgetting to check the PS hose for the TSB.

 

[MMeier]

'03 Qc 4x4, dually, 3. 73 , 6 spd, TSB not done as of yet, yes I have the VIBRATION. No drone new exhaust took care of that!!

 

[FKieser]

Drone

What exhaust did you put on to take care of the drone?

 

[MMeier]

Full 4" with Magnaflow see thru in stock location, part # escapes me currently. (17223) maybe
