  1. What I see is that there are a few parts that dealers and owners are replacing. Tires Differentials Wheel bearings Axles I think I seen a torque converter or 2 But I think there are more parts that could be causing it. A change in body mount material? Too hard or too soft? Engine or transmission mounts? Leaf springs? My vibration/shake feels like its side to side. I've changed: wheel bearings & Tires No change. I'm fixing to start swapping parts from 2013 or down trucks to see if anything changes. Going to swap wheels, then leaf spring as long as they are the same. Maybe even the front struts since they seem interchangeable. Cause it might be a change in spring rate. What do you all think? Some of the guys here are mechanically savvy. What things have you tried or thought of trying to fix it. Going to the dealer isn't an option since I'm lifted and get the "it's your fault". Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

  3. No idea. They were off a 2008 chevy Avalanche. Had to modify them a little. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  4. New hub assembly's both sides. Battery failed. So that too. Oil change. New radio. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  5. This truck has a limited slip diff I think. So the tire closest to me was spinning. And the other wasn't. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  6. So I've done some redneck testing. And it appears that my drive line has a bend or something. What do you think?https://vimeo.com/194200154 Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  7. Yup. It startled me. Popped like a zit. Still had to press/pound them out. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  8. Went and replaced the front drive line U-joints. That was a pain in the ass. They u joints are held in by a Teflon plastic that's injected from the factory. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  9. Lol. It's awesome so far. Works flawlessly even compared to the note 7 I had to give back. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

  11. I either use my phone or my Garmin GPS. As far as I know most aftermarket radios need another piece for the satellite radio. But you can use the stock antenna. As for the USB ports. You can rewire or splice into the factory USB location. With a double din you have to cut the dash. The original parts can go back in but it never fits quite right after you cut inside. As far as I know you lose the ability to change the sounds from getting in and out. I currently have one amp right now for my subs. But will probably ad an Alpine ktp-445a for more power for upgraded speakers. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  12. I'm tech friendly so it's fairly easy for me. I went from the stock radio to a Kenwood GPS unit. And the sound was the same compared to stock. But with this Alpine the sound is much clearer and seems more crisp. I've tried the lower end units and they are ok compared to stock. But I wanted a little better sound without having to get a processor. And they had a $100 off deal at a local dealer here. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

  14. New toys. Alpine head unit. Didn't need a touch screen. And got a new s&w m&p shield .40. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  15. Seen this today. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
  16. Looking around the insurance auctions seen this. Ouch. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  17. Timkin is the onlt way to go. I just went with the one from oreillies it has a 1 year warranty. And in a year I'll replacw both sides. And by then I'll need new struts. Von Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  18. The hubs are the same for a 2013. They are $185. BUT. The ABS sensor connector is different then the 2014. I had to use the sensor from the old hub. Just though I should say something. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  19. If I could afford it I would get myself another Cummins. Or i would buy a Tundra. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  20. I felt only in the seat and the floor mostly. And when it would vibrate really bad it would shake the wheel. Have you sat in all four corner seats to feel where it was worse? Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  21. I thought that vibration was from my tires. Until i got the new ones. But boy was i wrong. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  22. There was NO play in my hub. Just a little drag compared to the new one. Couldnt feel it until i took the rotor and brakes apart. It just felt like brake drag untill then. But could tell a big difference once I spun the new one. And i puy Cooper discoverer ATPs on mine. They seem like theu will do better all around for me. Slightly aggressive for camping and hunting. And enough siping to make winter driving safer. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
  23. I bought the truck with 17k miles. I had what I thought was aggressive tires on it and had a vibration. From 45+ Would come and go. And wouldn't happen all the time. I figured it was tires. So once I wore out the tires at 57k miles, I got a new set of a different brand size and style. The exact same vibration was there only slightly more noticeable. (I figure tires hid some of it) started at 45 mph and got worse the higher I went and almost went away at 83mph. so I started doing research on everyone's experience. And nothing they did ever fixed their problems. So I started trying to track down the vibration. It was the worst in the drivers seat. So I knew it was in the left side of the truck. Sat in the back and it was obvious it was in the front left side. So I went to searching. Had the drivers side cv axle checked and the hub checked. Both times I was told they are fine by certified mechanics. I wasn't satisfied with those answers. The vibration DID NOT fallow rims or tires stayed in the same spot. So I knew it wasn't a rim or a tire. So I started with the most movement. And cheapest. Witch was the drivers side inner axle bearing. Changed the bearing and it didn't change anything. Then from there I changed the cv axle $80. No change. Returned the cv axle and got a new hub assembly $180. Vibration went completely away. But what's weird is the hub that was on there didn't have any movement that was out of spec. Only had a very faint drag. Almost like one of the needles in the bearing was oval. Not sure if it's an isolated even with my truck. But yeah. Almost here's a video of the shake. https://vimeo.com/184079976 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. What's wrong with the flip flops? Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. There's a jack stand on the other side of the 3ton jack. And it has 57k Thought the vibration was from my last tires (very aggressive) until I got new ones and it was still there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
