I have a 99 Freightliner classic with a Rockwell 10 sp that I recently purchased. Just got it out the shop and it chatters pretty bad between 25-35mph, doesn't matter if I'm on the gas, off the gas, in gear or not. Anybody have any suggestions to what you t could be? Only does it between 25-35 mph

Try taking it out of gear and coast at that speed. If the chatter still exists you can eliminate the transmission. First thing I would do in that case is look for cupping on any of your steer or drive tires, a sure sign tires are out of balance and/or you need a three axle alignment. Take it to a shop that will check all tie rods, bushings, shocks, springs, etc before doing the alignment. Tires that start cupping will become impossible to balance, unless you install Centromatics as I understand it.
If your suspension, alignment, and tires are in good order and you still have the vibrations. Start looking at your drive shaft. A bent drive shaft or bad u joints can cause this.Broke Down 69, x1Heavy and Dynomite Thank this. -
Go get your Ujoints changed out. It sounds exactly like it is a ujionn problem.

Thank you all for the suggestions ... I'm pretty positive it's in the drive line, was just wondering where to start ... thanks again

Last time this happened to me my main drive differential ate teeth. But this was after 2 days of symptomatic whining noise.
