Need Help Badly!!!!!
My truck is acting up like crazy between 45 and 55 it viberates really bad but only for like 10 secs then it goes away and only does it when i am light on the gas petal. It only does it in overdrive. I have no clue what it is but when i stomp on it no problems at all. I check the tranny fuild it was good, there are no leaks, and its still just as red as when it was put in. At first I thought it was something to do with suspension but when I turn off overdrive no vibration. If I am really light on the gas I can get it to shift in overdrive at 40 and wont vibrate until i hit around 45 to 50. It pisses me off because it worked fine earlier today and just started out of nowhere I just had the trans fixed 5000 miles ago and of course the warranty was only 5000 miles go ****ing figure. Any clues on what it could be?
and o yea it shifts perfectly fine in the rest of the gears and doesnt do it when i slow down either.

A basic question to consider, are your tires balanced or have they been balanced recently?
I know I know, it only does it in overdrive, I have unbalanced 38's on beadlocks, and sometimes I can drive the hour drive to school and it will ride smooth as silk, and the next day it will buck me out of the truck.

I have thought about it beeing the tires unbalanced but wouldnt it contantly vibrate at that speed instead of only doing it for a few seconds then going away. Altho you could be right my tires are in pretty bad shape I will bring it over to my friends and throw them on the balancer. And as for the drive shaft when i looked everything appeared ok. But who nows it could be out of wack. I will try giving it a shake and see what happens. The more I think about it dont think it is the tranny tho because it shifts fine and only vibes right after it shifts in O/D or after its been in O/D.

well I check the tires other than beening worn to **** they werent to off balance and i balanced them the best i could. I also check the drive shaft and it doesnt move when i shake it. My buddys dad thinks it the torque converter and my buddy thinks it might be the muffler because when his was shot it vibrated but his had holes rusted in it so i dont think its the problem. But I guess i get to make a lovely phone call to the dealer tomorrow.
