Vibration

[eddiechip]

I searched for this particular vibe, so I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate post.

I have an 03 Limited, 4x4 Selec Trac with about 60k on it.

When driving at around 50mph and 1500rpm, I get this weird vibration which you can hear and feel. From the drivers seat it feels like it's to my right and behind. If I slow down or speed up it seems to go away. When going up hills, it always shows itself around 1500 rpm and slightly lower speed.

Xfer case...driveshaft U-joints? The dealer where I bought it gave me a 3 month 3k warranty (it's about half way thru). Should I take this in to the dealer quickly or is this normal.

Once again, I am brand new here so I apologize if this problem has been covered before.

Sounds like the normal 3.7/42rle shudder. Mine has always done it when the engine wants the ****** to downshift but the ****** wont do it.

Cant hurt to get it checked out though.

The hemi owners with WK's complain about this all the time and acts like there should be a fix for it. Its just the way the drivetrain is setup. Theres nothing wrong with them so there cannot be a fix but none of them understand that.

Tires

Did they rotate and balance the tires before you bought it?

not that I know of. I can probably get that done next week.
