Vibration Question
I have a 96 ford powerstroke and i noticed sometimes it has a vibration that comes and goes, the vibration comes on out of no were and vibrates no matter if you have the throttle on or coming to a stop. it goes away at idle. if the truck sits for a few minutes and go driving its gone. it is a 5 speed with a 1705 microtuner on it. any idea's.

How would i tell if it was the flywheel i would hate to have one put in and its not the problem. i called a garage and they want 1250.00 to put in a single mass flywheel with new clutch and pilot bearing. does that sound like a good price to you.

what brand clutch and flywheel is it? any warrenty on it? that could be a good price or a bad price. it depends on what they are installing.
you can rule out the motor by removing the chip for one, and i assume you have no power issues or smoking problems? no misfires right? just a ghost vibration at times?

there putting in a luke clutch. and no it dont smoke at all. i tried removing the microtuner once and didnt seem to do it but not sure. i get bad fuel millage without it and not a whole lot of power without it. It sometime surges at idle and not sure what that is either, when you shut the motor off it does rattle a little as it shuts off.

I agree with Joe. The best way to check the flywheel is to remove the inspection cover. I believe you should only be able to move the two halves about 3/4 of inch rotation from each other. never had my hands on though so I can't say thats a fact.
