Vibration

I have a '01 F-250 with a vibration when on the throttle but quits when I let off. Have taken it to a local shop but nobody else seems to notice it. Figured you guys might be able to help. Thanks

It could be alot of things.

How are the tires? Is it only at certain speeds?

Welcome to FTE by the way!

Just had the tires rotated and balanced. Seems to be more noticable at lower speeds but still there at higher speeds.

Is it 4X4, 2X4 auto or manual tranny?

I would start checking all your Ujoints in the driveshafts , the carrier bearing . Is it bone stock or do you have some modifcations done ( lift ,big tires , exhaust ) ??

Replaced u-joints about a year ago and didn't make a difference. I was thinking carrier bearing also but shop said it was fine. How would you check it, ive never had to change one. It has a little larger tires, 4" exhaust, chip and intake.

I can't seem to find that info for ya . As far as the carrier bearing goes grab the drive shaft and and try to move it and watch the carrier bearing for movement there should be some but not a lot . To remove the carrier bearing you will remove the driveshafts and the 2 bolts that hold the bearing to the crossmember it is pressed on so you will need a press or a BFHammer to remove and replace.
