    a little bit but not bad enough to be making it vibrate that bad

    Is the vibration felt in the floor? Does it sound like the engine is missing/stumbling/poor acceleration?

    na its not in the floor and the motor isnot missing its in the whole truck all the joints are good and everything i have took all the brakes apart cleaned the mud out and cleamed the undercarage very well and it seemed to help quite a bit but still vibrating quite a bit.

    If the engine isnt stumbling, or loosing power, Im betting its the carrier bearing.

    I've got the same issue. I've only got 700miles on my V6 AC. When I'm going around 55 and I accelerate slightly, everything vibrates (kinda of a deep waaaaa waaaaaa waaaaaaa waaaaaaa). It only happens during acceleration from 55 to 70. Started about 200miles ago. It's not vibrating like crazy but enough to notice and bug me.

    I'll get it checked out when I take it in for the first service. It happens every time I hit that speed so hopefully they will be able to figure it out.

    I'll report back to this post later.

    Cheers.
