rear tsb done,now vibe.

hi folks,
1st post here,as ijust got certified 06 4by.just got the rear leaf tsg done,and gett'in the vibe.What do i do next?Any help would be great.The truck will remain stock,with stock tires.265's.Although i would'nt mind a more level front,but not to much.thanks in advance.

 

I haven't personally heard of just the TSB resulting in any vibes.......Tell us what it's doing and when.

Welcome btw.

 

Maybe they didn't do the alignment?!

 

HOW the hell did you get them to do the TSB on an 06??????? I practically got laughed at when I asked.

 

Certified???

 

the truck is still under the 3yr/36k warranty.I guess you get that when you buy certified.The truck was built in the US,in june of 06,sold Oct.kinda xplains the low miles on it,plus who knows maybe they lived close to work.Anyway,i kinda feel that vibration in the gas pedal area,and just kinda underneath.Let off the gas and it stops.Right around 55 to 65 miles an hour.Other than that i like it.Now it feels like a truck.I wonder if putting the 5100's on like everybody else will make a diff.lifting up that front end.The dealer was real cool bout doing it too.The sevice manager is a good dude.Ordered the parts when i complained over the phone(politely of course),it was no problem.Also bout the tail gate issue,he said just bend it good,and bring it in and he would take care of it.We both laughed.He did tell me they aligned it.So....thats that.I've just heard other people talking bout the vibe.Just wondering if their is a cure.Oher than that i hope the truck treats me good.Got the factory tow package,sr5,off-rd.I waited for awhile,just looking for the right trade in,with this set-up.later.

 

It's because you live in NJ. All vehicles run like crap in NJ.

Seriously, I would venture to say it could very well be an alignment issue. Ask the dealer about it.

 

Maybe they knocked off/messed up a wheel weight when removing the rear wheels. Have them road force balance all 4 tires just to be sure.

 

I could have gotten it on my 06' at the dealer but I just got an AAL from toytec for the extra 2" lift and it worked out just fine.

 

Well i drove the truck for the 2nd time since it got done,maybe it ain't so bad.If anything it kinda sounds like the drive shaft.But really everything feels tight.Am happy.Yeah,you got that right about jersey,lol,and now with these hot humid summers coming everything runs not as good.later,and thanks to everyone for the numerous replies.God Bless.Today is D-Day Aniversery.Everyone please remember those who fought bravely,and their ultimate sacrifice that they gave.God save the Republic!

 

Are you referring to a take off "Shudder"? If so have the dealer replace your driveshaft. That is what cause the take off shudder.

 

Toku, can please explain your comment? Are you saying the OP has a bad driveshaft (out of balance, bent, etc.)?

 

update on my situation.Although i'm very late in replying back.My truck ended up having a bad rear.I could'nt believe it!I'm thinking i just bought a truck with 16k miles and now this.I guess it it was all coincidentl.That i go in for rear tsb,and then the vibration started.Anyway they had my truck for 9 days,and finally determined that the rear was the problem.I have heard on this forum that some yrs the rear would go bad.Anyway,the truck is fine i like it.They had brand new pumpkin Fed-Ex to jersey from LA.My dealership has been great to deal with(service dept) anyway.Anyway they ended up checking everything before they figued it out,that is the rear.My sevice manager said i had a good truck.Time will tell.A whole test case was opened.Other than that, iwould like to have the locker mod done,but i'm a liitle nervous of doing that myself.And thinking of 5100s or coilovers.need to save some cash.later.

 

^ Wow! I wonder if that's my problem. So it's driving great now? no issues?

 

my truck seems to be fine.I use the 4x4,go trail riding and there seems to be no problem.Although i don't know if it is normal or not but there is a little vibration in the pedal area,but nothing i don't think AND NOTHING LIKE BEFORE!Iwas in a dodge 2500 before this,and these truck are just diff.2 completely diff.animals.So they act differently.I guess have your dealer go over the truck.good luck.
