Had all four tires balanced today by an actual tire shop this time. A little less vibration but still has the shake. The steering wheel vibration has decreased a bit too. Oh well. At least I had it done for free. Guy said the balance that the dealership had done was horrible.
Hey guys just a thought. Would it be possible to lift the truck up on a lift, all four wheels off the ground, bring the truck up to speed, get underneath the truck and try and see if anything sticks out as the source of vibration?
I will do that next. Thanks. If it was the axle flange, wouldn't I feel the shake all the time? Mine does it at 45mph exactly and between 72-85.
Thanks
I did some heavy hauling/towing recently. My bed had at least 800 pounds in it, and I was hauling a trailer with cargo weighing around 5,000 pounds. My truck still shook. At certain speeds the center console shook like it always does. Many friends always told me that if I loaded the bed it would be fine. Nope. She was fully loaded and still shook.
How would I check that? My dad and I rotated both rear tires while on the truck and they were spinning true. We put a dial gauge on the edge of both tires and had zero readings on the gauge. They were spinning true. I would think if it was the axle flange then my tire wouldn't be spinning true and the dial indicator would show a reading.
Did a 3 hour drive again yesterday. Man it was torture. Steering wheel vibration, drivers seat vibration, crazy center console shake between 70-82mph, gas pedal vibration Everytime the truck goes into V4. What a piece of junk truck.
