Weird vibration noise

Hi All,

I have a 1993 F250 XLT with 132K on her. Truck runs strong and had to put a new tranny and convertor in about 14 months ago.

I jsut recently noticed that when I get to around 50-65mph or so I hear this vibration that sounds like it is coming from the center section of the cab like it is coming from the driveshaft. I also hear it a bit as the truck slows at like 40 mph, when I put the truck in neutral and rev it up the truck doesn't make any noise just under load as the truck is moving.

I talked to one buddy he said it sounds like a center bearing, another buddy said sounds like torque convertor which I really hope it ain't as it is out of warranty.

Just wondering if any one else has had this problem and what you did to fix it.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Regards,

Rich Rezes

If you feel the vibration in the seat of your pants my vote is a worn out u-joint in the drive train.

I would crawl under it and check for play in the u-joints and center bearing. Then you can at least rule them out.
