New Member,

Hi,
I wanted to introduce myself. My truck is a 2006 4WD 4 Door with a V6, and about 151,000 miles.
My previous was a 1998 4 cylinder 4WD, and somehow it felt like a sturdier truck.
I traded the 98 in for the 06 in February 2006, afterwards I heard they were replacing 98s for free

I often look into this forum and finally decidedecided to join. The members have provided smart information whenever I have read threads.
My 06 has had a frame replacement. I brought it it at the end of 2015 and got it back 3 months later in 2016. The truck doesnt seem the same anymore.

There have been vibrations that came on so I brought it back to the dealer. I got it back with a new short drive shaft replaced because of bad U-Joints. They couldn't recreate the 2nd vibration which sounds horrible and one of the reasons I have joined.
When driving up a slight incline between 32 and 37 mph at 1000 rpm, the torque converter locks and the truck feels like it is driving over a rumble strip. If I increase the rpm it goes away, it seems like it drops a gear. I also activated the brake switch with a light touch to the brake pedal keeping my other foot on the accelerator hoping to unlock the torque converter and stop the vibration. The vibration didn't stop.
I also read here that a cracked spark plug can do this.

Please help, I'm not sure what is happening and would like to know before going to the dealership again.
Thank you.

 

Welcome to TW Tom!Post your info in the 2nd gen section for more attention/responses.

 

ODNAREM,
I did. Now I'm trying to upload a video of the vibration problem.
Is this an option?
Thank you,
Tom

Welcome aboard.

 

Nope it isn't an issue post your video.

 

Welcome. I haven't encountered that issue, but let us know what's going on once you find the solution. Good luck!

 

Thank you all!
I was asked to repost in a different forum.
Please look up up rumble strip.

I just left the dealership -they said torque converter needs to be replaced.

Thanks again,
Tom
