Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2005Ram 2500 vibration
My 1998 12 valve diesel has 191,000 miles on it. I developed a vibration in the ride that persists from around 40 to 75 MPH. I needed new tires so I purchased a set of LT/MS Michelins. I also had the ball joints replaced and the shocks are less than 6 months old. The vibration is still there. I pull a big fifth wheel with this truck. The steering seems a little loose. Anyone have any ideas or experience with this problem? Thanks in advance. svengali82@yahoo.com U-joints perhaps? Craig C. Thanks Craig. I arrived at the same suggestion after surfing a few websites. It's probably the least expensive. > U-joints perhaps? > > Craig C. I have a 99 2WD CTD with around 80K, also pulling 5er and have vibration around 60 - 65 mph pulling the 5er. U-joints check out fine. Interested in learning how/if you solve this problem. Fred > My 1998 12 valve diesel has 191,000 miles on it.

Thanks in advance. > svengali82@yahoo.com I own an '04 3500 and have noticed multiple complaints among RAM owners about drive shaft balence. I bought my truck new and the vibration could just barely be detected, but as I used the truck, the vibretion has become more pronounced. I am certain that my vibretion is shaft balence, but it only occurs at very high speed. (I have 4.10s) So, I live with it.

Thanks in advance. >>>svengali82@yahoo.com Typically when a drive shaft is out of balance, it will make itself known only at certain speeds if it is not too far out of balance. Most drive shafts are not well balanced from the factory. ----------------- www.thesnoman.com Why live with any vibration??? Take the drive shaft out and have it balanced! Any shop that makes drive shafts can do it. John |
