Do you Long Bed owners suffer from the diff and driveline issues?

I've seen a few LB people make reference to the fact that they weren't experiencing the diff howl or the rumble strip vibrations.

Is the LB version of the truck impacted?

 

I dont kave those issues, knock on poorly glued hood.

 

Diff howl who knows I have intake exhaust and sound system and bigger tires but vibs hell yea

 

I did but I fix it.

 

Mine howls...

 

No howling at this point. 10,600km.

 

Nope

 

No rumble strip, no diff howl at 9k miles.

 

Howl. Occasional vibe from 70 to 80 mph. Super truck though.

 

What did you do to fix it?

 

23,400 exactly... no howl and no rumble strip. I have a little railroading when i brake but i chalk that up to most likely being uneven rotors for numerous panic stops in shitty Atlanta traffic.... 70 mph....STOP!!!!....70 MPH..... STOP!!!! Ridiculous.

 

What were the symptoms you were having, and what were the fixes for each or all of them?

 

Problems: NONE

 

nope

 

Neither for me yet. 1500 miles.

 

Hate to jinx myself but- no. 4,600 miles.

 

After lift and 33.5in tires problem was notice. I put shims(hand made) under the carrier bearing. ( middle of drive shaft) lowered about 1/4 inch. problem went away.

 

This is good information. Was your symptom a howling noise? How was the noise provoked? Thanks

 

Sorry no noise, just vibration

 

Likely an excessive universal joint angle issue that you corrected by dropping the coupler. A universal joint (vs a CV joint), when not in a perfectly straight line, constantly changes component velocities within the joint. This can be felt as vibration; due to constantly changing rotational moments of force (like an imbalance), as the driveshaft spins.
