Question Vibrations

I have an '04 6.0 that has a vibration in first gear from start. It only happens while I am towing my fiver. Has any one else experienced this problem while towing? There are no strange noises just the vibration. The vibration seems to go away once the truck shifts into second.

My 03 does the same. Currently the deisel tech is looking into it. Most noticable while towing TT, at hard take off.

Talked with the dealer today. He said that it was normal thing when under load. He said that since I have the 172"wb is is more common, but that vibration, or shudder was the torque converter "pressurizing." He said that this is normal.

This is horse &^%$ my dealer tried this with me and eventually shimmed the driveline carrier bearing and it went away. Just my 2 cents

get them to shim your carrier bearing on the drive shaft, took two tries to get mine better you probably wont get rid of all of it though, its a fact of life with a two piece drive shaft
