| Description of the problem | I have a super crew 4x4 w/ 3. 73 ltd slip rear. Im having the same problems many of us have experienced with the steering wheel vibration "nibble" at highway speeds and the rear end shudders from a standstill upon acceleration or while making turns. I brought the truck in this week and the service writer had the service manager take a test drive with me so i could show him what i was talking about. He felt the exact same things i did, acknowledged the vibration and the slipping "shuddering" rear end feeling. The dealership has been trying different sets of wheels and tires on my truck but problem still exists. As for the rear end problems, they have yet to come up with a solution to fix the problem; no attempt has been made to try to fix it. I am not alone with these problems. *ak |
