    Riggs - My 2000 Chevy 3500 4x4 CCLB work truck and family play machine

    When I did my tune up, the cap and rotor were shot as well. I would not ignore those. the idle and smell were noticeably better. Even my wife noticed.

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Hey everyone, sorry I have been out of pocket. It's been a busy few days. I hate to inform you, but my neighbor made me a fantastic offer and I accepted. It doesn't cover all of the work, but it was more than I paid originally. With all I have going on work, family, and other side gigs, I just...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    When I rotate 180*, am I taking it off all the way or rotating the transfer case and just putting the straos back on?

    Alright, is 2.5 oz of weight on one wheel considered too much?

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I wish I could find someone! I'd go in a heartbeat and pay whatever diag I had to. I have called at least 12 places. I will call more in the morning while forum searching and having my coffee. I will also rotate the driveshaft and check u-joints while I am at it. Do you think the NVH app is...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Could very well be my issue. I guess I need to go in tomorrow and ask if they can check for a bent rim and what's going on.

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Interesting you bring it up, but there is an app you can use that a few mechanics swear by called NVH vibration analyzer. One guy found a bent rim AND a bad carrier bearing. I'll post the vid below. I am thinking about getting the app and seeing if I can find what's going on. And yes, I didn't...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Well, I agree except tires are brand new Coopers and wouldn't the bent rim show up on the balance machine? I am not doubting you at all....just nothing make sense about this.

    Correction ....it gets worse up to 85 and that is as fast as I willing to go with that kind of shaking going on.

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Sounds good. I will do this in the morning when the cold rain has ended. i figured that way I can also eliminate or discover the condition of the u-joints. If they are stiff or bad, I will take it to the driveline shop and get the u-joints replaced and shaft balanced. I'll report back. It's the...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I feel it in the seat even though the entire truck shakes. The steering wheel only seems to vibrate as the truck does, not on its own, if that make any sense. No vibration in the brake pedal. Also, I just put 4 brand new tires on it today. Now it seems worse at 60-70. I was only able to get it...

    And yes, using all OEM stuff, but this is a big piece of info. Thank you!

    Now I feel dumb. Thanks for the clarification. Makes total sense. I'll report back after all the cold rain.

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I'll check it when I get tires put on sometime next week. It may not fix the vibration, but it needs them anyways. Mine are 8 years old, sat for the majority of their life, and vibrate up and down noticeably on the balancing machine. No amount of balancing will fix that. The drums were just...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Called 12 places.... so far only one guy had one and it's being calibrated until next month. Most people were at a loss LOL.....ah well, more calls in the morning.

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I sure appreciate the info. I will do that today as far as calling and I am getting it back this afternoon. It'll stay with me until it can be taken to a non-hammer shop LOL....Skidder McWrench. That was perfect LMAO

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I'm going to keep it around for a bit and see if I can figure it out on my own. Anyone can definitely feel this one. Feels like grossly unbalanced tires. It shakes the entire dash, mirrors, everything

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I have not yet, but I will this weekend when I do it to check ujoints as well. I may just take it to get it balanced too. Can't hurt.

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Yeah, you are probably right. I plan on it....as much as I have time and money for. At this point,i want to figure it out just for the principle of the matter and not let it conquer me. I am $3500 in, but those were repairs needed and not at all for the vibration issue....front end and rear...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    I have never heard of this. I'll make some calls today. I am going to pick it up and take a breath and hope I can get it figured out. I may throw some other cheap used tires, but "good" tires on there and see if it remains. i know the rear is bouncy and off kilter when seeing it run up on the...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    After reading everything, I guess I won't spend money on new tires yet. I might get the driveshaft done ....can't hurt, but I am just boggled that it just appeared after a rear brake job. It might go up for sale when I get it back tomorrow. I am going to look at GMT 800 platforms. The novelty of...

    Driveline Vibrations---Possible Driveshaft Issues?

    Well it sounds like they were balanced correctly then. I was wondering this morning if I just need new tires. 7 year old tires are no bueno. I had old tires on a an F-350 I bought some years ago. Rode horrible with all kinds of vibration until, yup,new shoes. What I keep coming back to is this...
