No kidding, asking for an engine fire right there. I wish I knew more about your system, unfortunately I'm not familiar. Are the leaks coming from the fittings to the housing it drips from? can't tell where it originates.

HAHA no doubt, I don't expect a caddy type experience, it just seems a bit over the top of the usual hums and noises. I can feel it in the seat and it resonates through the body. Possibly just hitting the right frequency to get all the sheet metal singing and will clear up once I get some...

Submitted a warranty claim for the drum. Hopefully Rock Auto takes care of things, I don't want to be paying shipping all over again. In the meantime there are other vibrations going on, that's without any wheels moving. Will revving the engine up to a point in Neutral help diagnose if its the...

My thoughts exactly, I hope its not the axle, I got the same runout with an indicator on the driver side checking the face of the bearing flange so im suspecting its just the drum. The driver side does it somewhat but not half as bad. The wheels I have on this video are the ones that sit...

https://youtu.be/dzmRb7DGY8A OK, there was a lull in the rain so I tried to quickly test a few things. The video might be proof enough that at least one new drum is out of spec. I ran it without any driveshafts. There is a resonating vibration through the truck while in gear at higher speeds...

The Rancho Part Number RS97325 has got 2 reviews, and one claims it broke causing him to wreck. Have you had any issues?

Decided today to get a new harmonic balancer after reading a few threads and horror stories. It definitely looks old and is probably going bad and might be why the truck has such a loud resonant vibration at idle inside the cab. Ordered the Dorman through AA, it ended up being $45 shipped w/tax...

:sad:

I have yet to replace the braking system on the front. I am waiting on the 2nd rotor to be delivered hopefully tomorrow. Then I will replace both rotors, wheel bearings, calipers, pads, and hydraulic hoses. The lines on it now look good other than the metal portions are rusted pretty good...

Man that sounds terrifying! What the heck happened!?

I took a wide shot of each wheel and a close shot of the gap off the hub. The cleaner non rusted chrome one to the left are the wheels that have the new tires and do not sit on the hub. The one to the right that's rusted are the wheels that have the old tires (pretty cracked up I might add) and...

So I got home at 330, did some troubleshooting on wife's car which is burning near 2 quarts of oil (2006 Ford Fusion V6 100k miles) and determined its got blown rings or gouges/lobed cylinders.. then I got onto my truck. Check the driveshaft, its in phase... check, made sure the U-joints were...

Thanks, I'll double check but I installed the shaft myself and I'm meticulous when it comes to doing things right the first time. Seems like I'll have the shaft out within the next 48 hours anyway so I'll be sure to take a look before I go too far as that can definitely cause issues. All these...

Man... you guys are full of ideas haha, I didn't even think of plugging the extension housing off the Tcase and drive with front wheels only. Another thing Ill try tonight after work if time permits. My DD is in body shop so I have to ensure its back together and drive-able before bed :shock:

I suppose anything is possible, if swapping tires or the tire shop don't find the issue and replacing the rotors, bearings, u-joints, and calipers don't change anything I will be taking it back and see if he can check for runout and re balance it.

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?

Its certainly the 1.25 ton, at first I couldnt go above 55mph as I though for sure it would explode. Since the install of the 700r4 I mentioned in my first post, I can regularly drive 70mph in overdrive on the highway at lower rpms than the TH400 did at 55 haha. I love it... well other than the...

No Sir, not that severe. I had suspected perhaps it was the beginnings of it and is why I replaced kingpin springs and bushings. I think I could explain it as the feeling of something being out of round. Imaging a tire being oval shaped and you riding along with a budump budump budump budump...

You know I did this to find out the rear drive shaft was bent but never gave it a thought about getting all 4 wheels going haha. I will definitely try this. Thanks! Found the funny guy ;)

I figured the drums would come up, I just would expect the vibration to change or come at different stages going from the old rusted, chunked up ones to new. I really hope its something else as I don't have a press and paid to borrow time on one to reassemble it with the new ones. I plan to stop...
