Weird and Loud vibration please help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok my truck has a really loud and annoying vibration when i get my truck at about 2500 rpms and stops at 4000 rpms. Its not my tire balance or alignment cause it does it when it's in park revving it up. I replaced my rear U-joint but not my front so it might be that or Someone said it could be my flywheel.
Anybody else having this?

Flywheel, bent fan blade, or harmonic balancer

1968SWBBigBlock · 11-09-2008, 07:43 PM

2nd all the above

if you're stopped and it's doing it, it's not the ujoints. If its a flywheel it will sound like a rod knocking. Could be a harmonic balancer.

allen123 · 11-09-2008, 07:50 PM

alright thanks
I already replaced the harmonic balancer
It could be the fan blade cause its pretty roughed up
But im not sure if it would make that big of a vibration cause its a pretty rough vibration
And its been doing it since i got the truck and my flywheel just started clicking like that yesterday

what engine does it have?

allen123 · 11-09-2008, 08:02 PM

350/350

check the flywheel for cracks and convertor bolts

allen123 · 11-09-2008, 11:28 PM

Ok thanks
Well took the fan off earlier to see if it was it and its not the fan, So i guess it leaves it to the flywheel my dad is going to be home tomorrow so we'll prob take it off and look at it.

did this just start? Did it start after changing anything? I had the same problem and did all the same things you did. It was the flywheel. Is it a 400 flywheel? Have you lowered or altered stance and changed pinion angle? Again the big ? is when did it start. Gary

It's been doing it since i got the truck in april.

does it shudder at any speed. I bet it is the flywheel, cracked or not a 350 flywheel

that right there tells you it is not a u joint because in park your drive shaft is not spinning

kcjones · 11-11-2008, 12:01 PM

I third (or fourth?) the flexplate. They crack, they warp in high temps, the bolts take a huge beating every day. If it's at particular rpm, it's likely not crank/rod/pistons. So you only have balancer/pulleys/fan/flexplate left...
