41chevy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Same rpm in any gear?Clutch in or out make any difference?

gearhead204 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 TAKE A TAPEMEASURE AND CHECK DRIVES FRONT VS, REARS FOR HEIGTH AND CIRCUMFRANCE SEE IF ANY NOTABLE DIFFERANCE, COULD BE A POWER DIVIDER ISSUE ALSO! YOU CAN ALSO TAKE A AXLE SHAFT OUT OF EACH AXLE AND RUN THE TRUCK UP THRU THE GEARS AND CHECK FOR PROBLENS WITH OUT HAVING TO PLAY SUPERMAN.

mrsmackpaul Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 also maybe measure the flange angles at each tail shaft flange they should all be the same angle Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39868-a-vibrator/#findComment-288507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook n ladder 1 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Same MPH regardless of gear ( or load). I varied the shift points to see if it changed with RPM. Its usually between 1200-1600 RPM. But always 20-30 MPH. I had some transmission work done. I had a vibration before, that was all over the place. Now its very consistant. I wonder if they had dropped or bent the drive shafts when they were out. What about rotating the shaft 180 degrees at the rear trans yoke? They did find a few things that would cause some vibration (trans mounts had elongated bolt holes, frame mounts were bad, input shaft was slightly bent).

gearhead204 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 pull the damn axles and see if it is still there , it could be a seperated tire or such. btw how in the hell do you bend a input shaft? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39868-a-vibrator/#findComment-288605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook n ladder 1 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 It may have been bent before I bought the truck. The previous owner was swapping transmissions like he was doing oil changes. They kept tearing them up. Ive had the truck 8 years and never had the trans out. My trans now is actually out of a Freightliner.
