We have a 2014 3500 in our shop. 250,000 miles on it.
We've replaced a broken exhaust manifold, and repaired a charging issue that turned out to be a bad wire at the alternator.
All good there, but the customer also complained about an intermittent driveline vibration.
The truck drives along just fine, but then all of a sudden, and out of nowhere, it feels like a wheel is coming off, and you can barely control it.
We did find the sway bar broken away from the frame and we've repaired that, and a bad u-joint on the front driver side axle. All fixed, and figured the sway bar combined with the joint was the issue.
Nope.
Same scary deal out of nowhere. It's an Asian automatic, and the fluid is nasty. We found a pretty good amount of copper colored shavings.
I'm wondering if the torque convertor could cause this ?
Any ideas ?
