Vibration

My 2004 cc sb 4wd with 13000 has a vibration that started about 4000 miles ago...dealership acknowledged it but hasn't found the problem...could it be an out of round tire? Anyways its getting mush worse and I thought I had read something about that particular problem.

felt from the front but throught the floor boards in the seat and steering wheel while in motion...can' tell if its up and down or left to right but it doesn't seem to affect the steering... the whole truck shakes and evrything in the truck rattles and your coffe will slosh out of its cup with the lid on

I am having a similer problem. I dont feel it in the steering wheel but it feels like the whole cab is going to fall apart around me. Mine happens around 40mph. I took it to the dealership, it was there for 5 days total and at the end of it, all they could say was that it is a characteristic of my truck and there is nothing i can do about it. since it goes away with weight in the back i just put a 4 ft tractor tire in the bed temporarly untill i can figure something else.

First thing I would do is check the tires - Out of round; separation...such as that. If you know a good tire shop they can make quick work of it.

Secondly, I'd lift the front and check the wheel bearing assemblies.

From there I would go to the carrier bearing (swing bearing) and then to the u-joints.

Hmmmm, I just purchased a new F350 CC LB on Saturday and it also has a shake between 40 and 50. I feel it through my body. Jostles my stomache, ugh! The dealer included a tire swap in the deal so I figured I would have them check it out when the new tires come in. I was assuming it was a tire or tire balance issue. Sure hope so!!

Anyway, it's fun to be over in this forum now!!
