Hello guys,
I got a 2020 cascadia dd15. I have a vibration or a shudder throughout the entire truck in what seems to be
a transmission or related components issue.
Repairs done: Tri-axle wheel alignment, New tires all around. motor/tranny mounts replaced. U-joints replaced. Drive shaft balanced. both front end king-pins replaced. Front leaf springs replaced. These repairs have failed to solve the problem.
The problem: Only when accelerating between 25-45mph does the shudder occur and this shudder is intermittent. I'm trying to find out what is causing it so I observe.
Observation: I observe that when i'm local and in short traffic stop and go, the vibration starts to occur between these speeds. It's almost like the truck doesn't have enough airflow to breathe. (i notice the soot bar elevated on the dash readouts). However when i'm on the highway for 2 hours or more the truck seems to do regen and the shudder goes away right after the regen.
Any thoughts or ideas on what this problem might be related to?
DPF System causing vibration during accelertion?

monitor inlet and outlet pressures in one box... you may have dpfs full of ash or partially plugged doc face. that noise with little vibration is coming from one box.Last edited: Oct 23, 2021

Narrowed it down to front end a cyclical vibration would come and go. Like a rotating assembly getting in and out of phase. Pulled wheels and drums and used a magnetic base and dial indicator and found my from hubs were not machined true. Mounting pads for wheel were off , They had A variance of about .03 to .06 on the high side, both hubs were machined off. While it doesn’t sound like much when they got in phase oh hell it was rough.Wickedchicken Thanks this.
