| Description of the problem | I started to get a vibration in the rear of the truck at 45 mph. I had just replaced the tires not long before and thought they might be out of balance. They are not. They have been checked many multiple times and rotated. The problem still exist. The dealer doesn't know what the problem is and claims it's not the differential or rear axle. I have replaced the bearings, seals, gear lube and rear shocks. Now there is a knocking sound coming from the rear end. It is a 4x2 and has not been driven hard. The vibration, which was annoying at first, has progressively gotten worse. The whole bed of the truck shakes when i hit 45 till about 55. |
