  1. Just got back from 2 weeks in Duck Creek, Utah. 45-55 degrees at night and 70's during the day with a light rain in the afternoon. Sucks to come back here, heat is killing me!

  2. Got the drive shaft off, took it for a ride and it didn't change anything so back to square one. 25 mph let off gas no vibration, 45 mph let off gas and terrible vibration or shudder that shakes the whole truck, put it in neutral while coasting and it sitll vibrates, put it back into gear and give it a little gas and vibration goes away.

    Any ideas now?

  3. Ok I went to SLC and hauled the truck home. I have not taken it out on the highway to duplicate the vibration that my son said it had 50-75 mph but drove 45 mph out the road and when I let off the gas the old vibration/shudder that it had when I first test drove it is back but so bad it shakes the whole truck.

    While coasting I can put the tranny in neutral and it doesn't change, while in neutral rev up motor and doesn't change, put in gear and give it a little gas and no vibration.

    I crawled under it and everything seems tight and normal except for front drive shaft at transfer case moves up and down alot when I push and pull it. I checked my Dodge and Cherokee and they don't move. Could this be it and if so how do I fix it?

  4. Single cab so no carrier bearings, will check the drive line, guess I have to run to SLC and haul her home.

    Had a thought, since he drove it for a month or so before fixing the oil leak and it didn't have the vibration then or during the check period after fixing the leak would the drive line be the problem? Shouldn't it have done this all the time since we bought it and could he have not lined it up right when he hooked it back up? He left the end connected to the rear end so just disconnect the front part.

  5. Son changed the spacer between transfer case and tranny, that was what was broke and leaking. He test drove it around here for a few days and no problem. Drove it to Salt Lake City and between 60 mph and 80 mph there is a terrible vibration, other speeds no vibration and the closer he got to SLC it was hard to tell at what speeds it would or would not vibrate.

    Any ideas? U joint?
