NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yeah I'd bring it down half way (from what you raised it up) and see if you still get the vibration. Then keep cutting back.

 

Alright I'll give that a shot tomorrow. I just mounted the winch still have wiring to do so if it doesn't go down I may just pull it for the time being.

 

Yeah, the vibration tells me you brought it up farther than original. Dial it back till that goes away, then rub a bunch of chalk on everything you think might be rubbing. Find the problem spot, and give it attention.

 

Easier- get baby powder and hit the bottom of the bottle so it powders the whole area then drive . Washes off easy, and hits everything so you don't have to guess where to chalk. ( old Navy trick for finding leaks. They leave a trail thru the powder)

 

Definitely beats pulling the bumper again. Thanks fellas.

 

I'm sitting here doing the math... When I do my monster 10" DB I'm gonna have to gear 5.38s. @bobsuruncle saw the math earlier. If I go the 11" and rub a little I'll get 41s and have to go 5.71 gears.

 

So... LS1?

 

You know me, right the first time... So no, it won't be a Chevy motor.

 

Current CV angles. @northwesttaco

 

Vibrations only show up 3 ways. A rotating object, driveline or tire, isn't balanced. duh. Or a ujoint or carrier bearing is either worn or too flexed. or somebodies girlfriend just went to a passion party. That's the simple physics. I'm legit puzzled how you're "feeling it".

 

Well no passion parties here but it's was a noticeable difference. I looked up proper angles and whatnot and I didn't think mine were that bad. I'll try reduce anyways as I like the truck lower and go from there I guess.

 

I got nothin. CV angle would only start to do that at full droop. Drivelines haven't changed. I'd start looking for a weight that fell off the wheel or a lug pattern that didn't get done right. Is it a wheel speed vibe or driveline speed?

 

Could possibly be a wheel maybe. Feel it around 40.

 

does the vibration go away when you put it in 4wd? if so its your needle bearing, get a ecgs bushing for the cure

 

The lift I had left me with vibration most noticeable about 35-40. I never took the time to do a carrier bearing drop.

Where do you feel the vibration (whole vehicle, steering wheel, back end)? If it is only about 40ish MPH, but goes away at other speeds, that sounds like driveline. If it is worse at speed and feels like the whole truck, that would be more of one or both rear wheels out of balance. Steering wheel shakes are front wheels out of balance.

 

Who has washed their wet okoles seat covers? My driver's is starting to show some drying of the neopreme. The directions say to wash them in place. I'm a bit weary of using too much water and soaking my floor boards. I've got the care kit that came with the covers when I ordered them.

 

@dakotasyota uses something else to wash his.. can't remember what.

 

Not sure I'll have to try it.

Mainly at speed and the vibrations feel like it's under my feet and slightly in the steering wheel.

 

Most likely your carrier bearing

 

I've got the Wet Okole shampoo, odor eliminator, and protectant but haven't used them yet. Sounds like a good excuse for drinks?

That reminds me I haven't called King about my replacement spacers yet. How's your front end squeaking/creaking?
