08 with death wobble & vib - Page 13

the rep didn't want them pulling parts plus the dealer only had one pro4x and it was a lwb.. Not that it matters if it was a pro but that was what he wanted..

adkl1- did you watch rey's video on youtube? Is your truck vibrating like that? I guess I wan to know how yours compares to his> Mine does the same thing as his does in that video...

He did say that one of the front U joints was bad so thats why they also ordered the front and rear shaft plus the rear axle.. He also got on the tech line and they said what i was hearing from you guys so thats why he is replacing the stuff i told him to try.. Also he said that the wielded blocks on the axle might be off just enough to make everthing off...And he told the tech to drive the truck before they put this stuff on so he knew how it felt and the stuff might be in tomorrow....

Any update?

you know I guess I really never payed attention to see if the bed was shaking like that one.. I just watched that video last night... I have not heard anything yet but its only 1035am here in phx so its still early....

**adkl1** · 01-16-2008, 07:40 PM

sorry guy's they must not of gotten the parts in today...

TNPro4x · 01-17-2008, 06:04 PM

So whats the verdict??? Any info? Just curious.
So, for all those that do have vibration problems while driving take a look at the video reybeast put on youtube and give your input on if thats what your experiencing also... Would be nice to know its a bunch of people having the same exact problem too... Please chime in...

I am not sure if this is related or not but the passenger seat on my 07 vibrates also. But my 06 Frontier CC 4X4 did the same thing There was a TSB for the seat and they took it a part reinforced it and reinstalled it. I still vibrated but no where near as bad.

After a snow storm on Monday I was driving home and must have had some ice or something caked on back wheels as my truck was shaking like a mother...the next day it was fine.

**adkl1** · 01-17-2008, 08:31 PM

no news today. i guess they are still waiting on the parts to come in....

**adkl1** · 01-17-2008, 10:14 PM

ok UPDATE: the rep called my cell that had a dead battery of course but anyways the drive shafts are in but the axle is on NATIONAL BACK ORDER atleast three weeks to get it to the dealer and thats after bumping me up onto the top of the list.. The funny thing is though that he is under the impression that i picked up my truck today. So he said that as soon as the axle is in they would put the new parts on together well the problem i have with this is that i dont have my truck so im hoping somebody else didn't pick it up for me... hahaha .. After i call the dealer and they confirm that they still have my truck tomorrow morning im going to ask them to put the drive shafts on, sense they could be the problem and if thats the case i wont need to worry about the back ordered axle, i guess that just kinda makes more sense to me.....

GoFast33 · 01-17-2008, 11:28 PM

Yeah, no doubt. Make them at least slap the driveshafts on to see if that solves the problem. No sense waiting for something that may not be needed. Seems they are just playing a guessing game anyway. Good luck and keep us posted!

hate to admit it, but I am having this problem too. I havent really had anyone in the front seat, but on my way into work, I looked over at the pass. seat to see it shaking back and forth violently. I have ~700 miles so far, dealership said to wait til after breakin. fwiw, I believe this is an 08 issue, not to leave out you 05-06 owners. this may be something different than what you guys are expirencing.

it seems to be a problem with all the model years it just kinda hit or miss.. I just called my adviser so im just waiting to hear from him, he was on a test drive....

HudsonValleyTitan · 01-18-2008, 07:56 AM

I also think, because this was barely heard of until this thread came out, that it's partially a mental thing with some owners...here's what I mean..
Some have never thought to look/check for a vibration before and now could be exagerating it a bit because of this thread. Not every slight normal shake is a problem. The one talked about here is severe and can't be missed...ESPECIALLY the one in the video!
I've stopped looking for a vibration in my truck..well...because I'm affraid I may find one now! But if it was bad I'd know it.

**adkl1** · 01-18-2008, 08:27 AM

sorry guys i wont have anymore info until they get the axle in because the drive shafts that they were going to use were off of a dealer stock truck so when they found out that the axle went on back order they didn't take them off of that truck .. So anyways the axles will be released on the 25th of this month. when the axle does arrive the drive shafts will be here also... This is just the way my luck goes when im waiting for a answer on something it takes wayyyyyyyyyyy longer than it should. but oh well....

**anmut** · 01-18-2008, 09:17 AM

Interesting - I wonder if it's the Dana axles, considering they're on national back order.

I have been checking my truck at highway speed for shake and yes - it's present on mine as well. I can watch the bed vibrate back and forth with my side mirror and my passenger seat shakes. I do appreciate you doing all the foot work on this. I hope that you get a resolution and the rest of us can present the same findings to our local dealers.
