Vibration
Hi, I have a rumble when the truck is loaded with the camper. It vibrates only when I go foward from the start or when I climb steep hill at low MPH. It looks like the wheel are jumping?
Any idea?

when you load the truck, you are changing the driveline angles. you may have a u joint that needs replacement or the carrier bearing if you have an extended cab. there could also be a spline off one of the drive axles, but look into u joints first and see if there is any rust or discharge from them.

also, you may be experiencing a miss in the engine or if you have auto trans, it might be the converter or trans with the extra weight on the truck. I would imagine the u joints would do it all the time.

Found the problem. The mechanic cut off 2 inches from the drive shaft middle support and changed the bearing. No More vibs. I tried it in a 18 percent hill, dead stop and pedal to the floor, no vibs at all.
The drive shaft was to much out of alignement.
