    We have a 95 pete with an N14. Had a 100% new parts, complete out of frame rebuild last April. Have had some vibrations and random noises lately. There should be no reaaon, less that 250,000 miles on the overhaul. If you keep the speed down at 35 or below it smooths out, feels great, sounds great. At a higher speed with the same RPM's it feels/sounds like it's coming apart. If it is sitting still even at high RPM's it never misses a beat. Any suggestions as to where to start? Thanks for your help!

    If it was going to misfire wouldn't it miss at any speed/RPM?

    Nope, n14 injectors are funny. Sometimes my trucks miss at idle and run fine under load, sometimes it's the other way around.
    When they miss under a load, truck starts shaking badly and it does feel like it's about to fall apart. Check them out and go from there
