Re: 55+ vibration - Help
I had a lot of NVH in my Burban when I first got it running. A rebuilt drive shaft with an aftermarket carrier bearing took care of about half of it. The rest was coming from the rear end.
In the end we found the posi carrier case and the spider gears were disintegrating. (Photo below) In addition one axle had had a bearing fail at some point and it had a speedi-sleeve installed over the bad spot on the axle.
Fortunately I got it fixed before the ring and pinion or the housing were damaged.
As previously mentioned it would be worthwhile to pull the cover off for an inspection. Personally I would pull the axles and inspect the bearings at that point for peace of mind.
Good luck and please keep us in the loop.
