I got my first Ford a few weeks ago, an f250 FX4 crew with the 6.4l engine, 25k miles. Already had the radiator replaced ( was not surprised as I did a lot of research here first)...When they repaired the radiator, they did not tighten one of the turbo boots and it blew off...( scared the $%^& out of me.!!)

Anyway ever since then I have had a high frequency vibration. I can feel it in the steering wheel, the center console, the dash etc. It is more noticeable at idle but I can feel it at speed as well.

I was wondering what could be causing this...it is very annoying... Maybe some sort of damage to the turbo when the boot popped off?

Any ideas will be appreciated...

 

It's a diesel ... They vibrate

 

I understand that....but this vibration is not normal.
This vibration did not occur until after the work was performed.

 

wonder if the fuel system is sucking air from somewhere? I'd run it for codes and see what the fuel pressure is.

 

It is due for an oil change here shortly, I will have them check that...
It is kind of weird though. It feels like something is out of balance..
If I grab the turbo pipes I can really feel it there. Thats why i was wondering if could be related to the turbos somehow, that and it was the only thing that was in any way related to the radiator repair...with the boot blowing off...

 

turbo boots are certainly not the issue.

 

Could it be one of the turbos itself?

 

Have them check your injectors, will cause a low rpm shake.
