My First PSD, Vibe question?
I purchased a 96 F-250 5spd back in July with 80K on it. It was a buisness truck that did more sitting than anything else. It had all the service done on it and even had the clutch changed to a LUK. It runs nice on the highway and gets 16 with straight diesel and 18 when Diesel Kleen(gray) is added. My question is about a strange vibe around 1200rpm. When i'm trolling thru a parking lot in third and the RPMs get over 1000. You can see the stick swinging back and forth pretty bad and If I stay at a consistant rpm the truck will start to shake with the vibration. Is this normal? I understand that diesel trucks work on a whole different concept and their is some vibration.

welsome to the PSD ranks. sounds like it might be a manual trans specific issue maybe something normal with the clutch conversion. but i don't have any experience with them so hopefully somebody with the clutch conversion can help you out.
