@Braves95

There's a lot of people trying to help here, but a lot of confusion as to when the problem started and what's been done to fix it.
I can understand why @stairgod has a headache.

Make a post bullet point style, short and sweet.

Only the facts mam.

Starts like this.
Mods to truck be fore vibe

Xx# fab 4 bumper
xx# 12k winch

Added xx# battery

Vibe started at x mph to x mph

Removed bumper and winch vibe went away.

Did lift with xxxx parts

Vibe still there

Have tried

Xxx

Xxx

 

I'll get rid of your truck for your kings.

 

Was thinking that plus more input.
Should someone tag Smitty

 

Oh god damn no. Don't do it. I'll quit this site.

 

Ok was being funny.

 

Bullet points man.
Step by step Mod by mod.
Use my draft. Just fill in the x

That's still kinda confusing.

 

Who the fuck is smitty?

 

Your father or uncle Not sure if your related or not, but a lot of people hate him. I think he's a riot.

 

I was in the middle.of it. Then the wife made steak for dinner so I had to put u guys on hold. It's up now.

 

I think he's great I've learned some things from his post.

FYI

 

It's like when I had my cherokee trailhawk. I bought it, then went on the forum. Started reading how terrible they were and all the issues w/ them. I continued to tell myself how I don't have any of those issues. Then, one day...I had every fucking issue from every thread on the forum. Fast forward..toyota.

 

I love you bro.




In a totally not ghey way.


I am sure Dave has a way bigger headache.

 

Bad bearing in diff can cause vibes

 

Correct ^^^
@Braves95 - I just checked with my neighbor, a Toyota ASE mechanic.
Or not enough gear oil or wrong weight gear oil or wrong oil altogether.
He also said that the differential might have had water intrusion, possibly through the breather valve.
He said check the easy shit first and work yourself up to the more complex stuff.

But yes, vibrations can come from a differential.

 

I put in a diff breather in June.
The oil for the rear diff was bought from Toyota in the pint container using a pump. But I'll check tomorrow. Also I started a new thread here:

Diff breather mod was one of the first mods I learned of up in here

 

Dave, you have a long ass breather tube running from the rear all the way to the front?
Not sure, but maybe check to see if that breather tube hasn't been compromised along the entire long length and allowed water entry?
You never know, should be easy enough to check.

Also, I just thought of this now and have nothing but my wild imagination to back it up:
Since you have a long tube from the rear diff to the front engine bay, there may be condensation accumulation along the inside of the tube. A combination of the recent high atmospheric humidity and drastic temperature changes (including temp changes in the high heat area of the engine bay) may cause more than usual condensation plus the longer breather tube may also contribute to greater condensation fluid volume.

Then that excess water might drain right into your differential.

So here's the theory: Water condensate + diff gear oil = diluted lubricant = poor lubrication = differential vibration

All this from a non-mechanic --- Me


Easy stuff first tho...

 

So should the oil look a certain color? If there is moisture in it?
