Driveline Vibration Issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What ever happened to "checking it out" when your vehicle made strange sounds or "felt funny"?

Driveline Vibration Issue - Possible Root Cause

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the fuel tank and the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it high speeds.

This is what the dealership found..............

I dont know why I had to shrink them down so much to get them to upload but I couldn't make them bigger. If any one knows how to size better you can PM me your email and I will send you the pictures in full size to upload.

Change the pics from Bitmap to Jpeg format, then you can post a larger image. 640x480
