My truck is currently at the dealer with them trying to find out what is causing the vibration at 65-80 MPH. Not sure if it keeps going faster than that, but that is as fast as I need to go going to work and back. The vibration started in January around the 15th and has gotten worse. I pulled the driveshaft and was ready to change the u-joints but they were still good. I thought I had a tire going bad so I bought two new tires and swapped the two rear tires. Did not fix the problem. When I put weight in the bed the vibration starts sooner than with no weight in the bed. Dealership just called and said while the u-joints feel good they are going to put new one's in and let me drive it and see if it fixes it. If not I have to keep driving it till the speed of the vibration comes down to a speed they can legally achieve close to the dealership. I am sitting at 96,6XX and wanted to make sure that they noted it because it may take a while for the speed of the vibration to come down and I might go past the 100k warranty.
No carrier bearing one piece aluminum driveshaft in this pig.
I wonder if the steering is not feeling anything in these trucks because of it begin electronic steering? Never thought of that.
I talked to the dealer late last night. Their road tests after changing the joints are 50/50, sometimes it doesn't do it, and sometimes it does according to them. I am picking it up tonight and will know tomorrow if it does it still.
Vibration is still there. I was not even 10 miles from the dealer and I called them and let them know it was still there. They want me to drive it till Monday and call them then and let them know how it is. Driving to work this morning I felt the vibration more in the floor board than the seat or the steering wheel. I wonder if it is one of the CV joints in the front axle. I am going to climb under it this weekend and start grabbing and shaking crap till I find something loose.
Keep me informed.
Made my first road trip this weekend pulling the Pontoon to Ga. to the lake.
It is around a 24' boat on a single axle trailer. not super heavy but catches a lot of wind. I pulled it apx. 250 Miles with 70% being interstate keeping the truck near 75 MPH.
The truck pulled fine even up and over Monteagle. Starting was about the only time I really knew the boat was behind me.
On the trip Down I averaged around 15.5 MPG and the trip back pulling the empty trailer(Even thought it was just the trailer it was still weight) running between 80-83MPH on interstate I was averaging 24MPG.
These are hand calculated numbers.
I love the ride and the way this truck handles.
