    Mine used to be a slight vibration and didn't pay no mind to it. In the last few thousand miles I've really noticed it and even my friend said something about it. Now anytime I get to 75+ mph that's all I can concentrate on is the vibes Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Guess they must have paid carfax to wipe it clean [emoji23] maybe for warranty work it doesn't show it Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Agreed. Love how the truck looks, best looking truck currently on the road, but these vibrations are making me lose my mind. Been looking at a few Ram 2500's. The day I drive one may be the same day I get rid of this truck. But, I'm gonna give my dealer a chance to correct it first Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    I get about 16.5 mpg around town. Don't do much highway driving so can't say for sure what it is Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Yeah it does. My 02 lifted on knobby 37's doesn't even vibrate as bad as this truck. I don't believe mine is as bad as other trucks, feel really bad for those guys Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Well they haven't admitted there us a vibe cause tech won't drive faster than 70. Sorry ass excuse. There's a freeway 10 min. from the dealer. I'll take em up to 80 when I get the chance Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Okay so my dealer wants me to pay to road force balance my tires. Said they won't cover it because it's part of normal maintenance. I've never had to rebalance tires after the initial setup. What should I do? Tell them that I'll pay for it if it takes care of the issue? Tell them I'm not paying for it and they can pay for it? First I need to take them on a ride and show them the vibration. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    If vibration gets any worse for me and dealer can't fix it I'm moving to a Ram 2500 or 3500 diesel crew cab long bed Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Posted last week that I've started to notice the vibration more and more. My buddy even mentioned something while rolling down the highway this weekend without me saying anything. Now I gotta make time to go take a tech on a test drive. Is it bad that I've already started looking at replacement trucks for this thing? Lol Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Well, removed my Range AFM disabler and guess what? The vibration was ridculous! I'm gonna try and get a video of it today to show my dealer. Gonna do the "water bottle test". I also get a vibration with it in v8 mode around 73+ mph. Steering wheel shake (up and down), passenger seat back shakes, you can feel it in the seat. Crazy. Love the truck but damn not sure if I can live with it. Anyone know if the 2500's also get a vibration? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Picked mine up from the dealer yesterday. They replaced the seat cushion heating elements and the two driver seat vibrator sensors for the driver assist aystem. Told them about the slip out of second into third, was told "that's normal". Told my service writer it's normal for me to burn through transmissions as well lol. Also showed them a paint chip and they said it could have been from a rock bouncing up and mowing. I had no solid evidence that it was there when I bought the truck (saw it a month later while handwashing it) so I couldn't argue it and they didn't repair it. So, when I do go pick it up my service writer said that he was looking the truck over and looked like someone put a door ding in it and it chipped the paint. He said they cover the cost of it AND repair that paint chip on the fender that I mentioned. Figured that was sort of a plus, just so happened to work out in my favor. They also don't feel the vibration and the tech said he got it up to 70 and didn't feel safe going any faster. I'm gonna take em on a drive then I guess. They can sit in the backseat and watch the seat shake. They wanted me to pay for a tire balance, I told them the truck has 22k miles it shouldn't need it already. Long story short, I got the majority of my issues taken care of. Now time to play the game with the dealer and spend time that I honestly don't have with them Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Called my service writer today and he told me "tech didn't feel safe driving over 70. Couldn't feel any vibration". Then told me "I could get my tires balanced and that may help, but you have to pay for that because that's normal maintenance and not covered under warranty". Load of crap. Couldn't get anywhere with him. I'll be taking my truck over to the dealer we normally deal with, just so happened to take it to where I bought it. Oh well, they fixed my bad seat heaters and seat vibrators for the driver assist system Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Key on, push the gas pedal 5 times in 3 secs, then key off, then start truck? How I do mine in my 02
  19. LongrangeLauber
    Off topic, but why two new rear view mirrors? I noticed mine will drop if the music is bumpn, but I have two 12" subs in my 02 and the mirror shakes but remains where it should. The 14 is currently in the shop so maybe I should have them address that

    We will unlock when MVI becomes a paid sponsor. We were not sure if you were just a satisfied customer of their work or you worked for them, so we locked it based on our forum terms and conditions. Decision was made from my superiors
