Shaking in OD Under Load
Hi all - asking for some advice / opinions. I have a '98 1500 with the 5.7, 4x4 / 4L60E, and ~200K on the ODO. Recently, it's been shaking under load in overdrive. It's worst if I'm going up a hill and give it some gas to maintain speed - it will shake unless I let off the gas or give it enough...- andfern97

Is this normal? Slight vibration idling in Park
Hi all, I have a small vibration that I can only feel when idling in park. It feels like it's kind of an irregular little shake every second or two.
