I am almost certain the wheels are not balanced. I am thinking of trying the antifreeze trick. Then add weights opposite the CTIS valve if necessary.
I will check phasing. They came from the balancer and were installed by someone else, but I believe that would have been noticed by them.
The...
I am assuming that there is no driveshaftphasing issue. I know that they are balanced. Phasing was incorrect on mine. Double check this. Are tires balanced?
For vibrations you have some options.
1. Steelman noise vibration system (around $200)
2. Put of lift and watch for movement
3...
Thank you for the welcome.
I live South of Seattle near Tacoma.
BELOW I am going to create 2 sections for my research - PARTS & IDEAS FOR CAMPER & PARTS & IDEAS FOR LMTV.
As I do my research for things I want to do or upgrade I will be placing them here, should get updated frequently:
PARTS &...
...angles.
In almost no cases do these trucks have 2000 miles or less, the speedometers were replaced due to failure.
Like Simp mentioned, for some reason the modern Army thinks that driveshaftphasing is optional, resulting in rapid spline wear, transmission wear, and wheel end spider gear...
Just a little further explanation on this, for those who may read this in the future...
Universal joints do not turn at a constant speed, they pulse (speed up as one part of the u-joint comes around, then slow down for the next, then speed up, and down...). The steeper the angle of the shaft...
Yes, after he made the drive-shaft I used this diagram to confirm haha, I didnt know about phasing until I got this truck diagnosing the bad driveshaft when I initially bought it. This page helped me a lot to understand how the driveline should be set up.
Do you do NDT for a living?
That odd missing spline is normally used for phasing. The slip yoke on the truck should be at the driveline shop so it can be properly phased. Phasing is probably less critical with a winch driveshaft but it costs no more to do it right. Take him the slip yoke.
Older Dodges all have the slip near the transfer case on the rear but the fronts have it at the axle. The only thing I was told was it was to keep water from collecting in the slip yoke on the rear. The front has to be at the axle because of the Double Cardan joint at the transfer case. If it...
With all the drive shafts out there, some may be installed wrongly. My xm757 has the main driveshaft phased incorrectly, just haven't gotten that far yet, but if left this way may cause a lot of vibrations although the angle isn't very big.
Got the carb doing pretty well but the driveshaft is whacked... I did some 'relieving' of the yokes on the bench grinder but it sounds like it is still hitting itself or at least vibrating like a ho's dream. Of course, wide open exhaust tends to make the drive a bit hectic anyway, my head's...
