So I drive a isx cummins for a week when I leave the yard in the morning with a loaded trailer truck makes a noise sounds like its coming from the rear at first then when I get on the interstate sounds like its coming underneath the cab and I feel a vibration through the shifter and its only when I give it fuel after about 20 minutes it all clears up and nothing the rest of the day temp was about 30 degrees out took it to dealer checked the rear and found nothing also when its a empty trailer it doesn't do it checked air bags also anybody have any suggestions on what it could be?

Too many variables , but if its coming from under your cab why do you put down ISX Cummins? Perhaps its your transmission? Or a problem with the driveshaft? Possibly a bad tire with a flat spot and once rolling evens out . You don't state what you were hauling and how heavy ?

I'm pulling a 53ft van grossed anywhere from 70,000-80,000 when I leave the yard feels like its in the rear but once I get on highway feels like its under cab more towards the front also can a vibration in shifter when it does it then after about 15-20 minutes it all clears up dealer checked the rear and trans said everything was good but its not btw trans is eaton 18 d/o seems nobody can figure it out

Has it done this every morning or just recently b/c of the cold temperature ? You said you drove the truck for a week, is the truck yours or do you share it with other drivers? Only reason I ask is b/c at 70,-80,000 ibs loads another driver could have tweaked a u-joint or something along those lines and you wouldn't know. If just you drive it start with fluids trans and rear. If your a little low then on cold mornings when fluid is thick with that kind of weight you may not be getting proper lubrication. Then w

When fluid warms up and thins out it lubes everything and noise goes away. It sounds simple but I did have a tractor that did this and the trans fluid was only down a small amount. I would start there it doesn't cost anything to check. Then move on from there if noise continues.

It's a company truck but I'm the only one that drives it and yes just started doing it when temps were around 30 degrees in the morning the fluid level makes sense cause the dealer checked the rear and trans and said everything was fine and they didn't hear nothing but that was after my shop opened up rear and they probably filled it up to proper level before taken it to dealer getting the truck back this week so we see how it does

it flat spot in tires from sitting in the cold once the tires warm up it goes away.
