Anyone else having/or have had this problem?
Going down the interstate one day (approx. 80 mph) when truck started bucking like a bronc and was coming off the pavement. Steering wheel vibrating, truck bouncing up and down, almost lost control of vehicle. Pulled off road and checked drivetrain, tires, brakes, lug nuts, etc. Got back in and continued to house. Has happened two more times, both times at 75 mph. Vibration was so bad it popped the window open on the bed topper. Semi driver next to me thought he was going to see an accident and he slammed on his brakes to get away. There has been a growling noise in the front end that has gotten worse over the last few months. The vibration can be felt in my foot through the accelerator pedal, and in my rear end because vibration is coming up through seat.
In last two years, I have replaced all four wheel bearings, four rotors, brakes pads, transmission valve body, rear main seal (which still leaks). On the way back to Wyoming from Oklahoma, the truck had a horrific vibration. We made it home and took the truck to our mechanic. Four of six u-joints were out. I told mechanic to replace all u-joints while he was under the truck. Had to use a torch to cut them out as they had gotten so hot they welded themselves together. The short flex shaft was bent so he replaced that also. I am wondering if the flex shaft is bent again and this is what's causing the vibration? The growling might be coming from the 4-wheel transfer case. Could be why the rear main is leaking again. Any ideas or help appreciated, short of setting fire to this lemon.
