    Why do you think this would be a result of the transmission?

    I would think unbalanced wheels

    Thanks for the reply

    My wheels are balance. The dealership told me I had to do a transmission flush. My truck is at 95k but I also read somewhere that the u joints were the cause of the problem.

    hmmm, if your transmission was bad, it’d vibrate at all speeds.

    May need an alignment then

    That's not transmission. I would think the bed and your ass would vibrate if the tranny was bad.

    Something is up with your front end

    The weird thing is, when I first drive it in the morning the vibrations is bad around 20-25 mph from a stop to acceleration then through out the day it is less noticeable

    Id start with the u joints if your tires are already balanced.. theyre known to cause all sorts of weird vibrations when you have one or multiple ones that are bad..

    So, i brought it to a shop. They told me that the U-Bolts were loose, they tighten it, Fixed the vibration for a couple days and now the vibration is back.
    Maybe my suspension is going bad, i am at 97k and still have stocks bilstien suspension?
