Dodge diesel with a chevy transmission and a ford engine brake i will be unstoppable

 

The diesel exhaust brake is standard on pretty much all new heavy duty trucks, and has been standard on Ram for years.

It's pretty aggressive and has 2 modes; yes when it's engaged it sounds like a smaller version of a semi lol

 

Why their brake?

Makes no sense.

 

I love the sound of semi's when they release the air brake and when they engine brake. As a kid it was so cool to hear.

 

Just imagine how many @wulfs i can pick up at the local car meets

 

FIFY

 

Oof

Truck stops are the worst; dam lot lizards

 

I've been getting a vibration thru the whole truck while accelerating or engine braking. I initially thought maybe motor or transmission mount but perhaps a U joint? It's getting worse, but u joint seems to make the most sense as it feels like it coming from underneath and semi-centered front to back. I'm curious what symptoms anyone had who either had a transmission mount or u joint go bad, and how that compares to my issue

 

They are great when they have a the hole in the stale

 

Have you checked your carrier bearing? Is your truck lifted?

 

A hole is a hole at 3am...

 

Carrier is good, ~1/4" play. I have an add a leaf on a stock spring pack so not much lift, fronts stock. I've had those springs as is for about 2 years w no issue.

 

Could be u joints.

or maybe a unbalanced tire or bad wheel bearing. But u joints are most likely

 

Welp to the shop it goes, it's more than I can handle w a road trip next week. Hoping for a u joint, as I swapped tires last week and the problem wasn't effected by that.

 

I had experience with one. I rejected her and took a bleach shower

 

Slut shaming in 2020? damn

 

I got the beer fridge up and running.

 

Someone buy my IS300!
