Hoping I can get some help. I have some bad vibration going on with my dump truck tandem.
I noticed when I’m between 30 and 50 mph it vibrates . On a scale of 1 tru 10 I would rate it at 5. It’s worst when it’s decelerating. I thought it was tranny super ten but I put it in neutral and does the same thing. I recently rebuild engine I doubt it has anything to do . I changed u joints on drive shaft the one near tranny and the next one down. My drive tires wearing out kinda weird maybe I need rotation ?
Peterbilt 379 vibrating .need help !please

Check the spline on the slip thru drive line. I’m referring to where the drive line meets together. Push it up and down and check for excessive play on both drive lines
Nestor Thanks this. -
With any vibration that changes on a accel or decel always check and set suspension ride height to spec. It the easiest to check and adjust first. Its also easiest to get outta wack a bit without noticing visually.
Where is the vibration? Seat and feet?Nestor and ramirezbrandonc Thank this. -
X2 on ride height. Solves most things. Any recent repairs to the driveline? Problem just start all of the sudden? Is it a hop, growl, shake? Pete ride height specs attached. What type of suspension do you have?

If the previous solutions don't find the issue check to see if you bent the driveshaft, that's about speed range where a twisted shaft vibrates the worst.
-
Check that you re-installed your driveline properly. If your u-joints are not inline, she'll vibrate .

if you have balloon steer tires, check air psi. very common if air out 5 lbs.
or, even as simple as mud stuck inside the wheel rim, if youve been in mudeetc (its that time of year, mud mud mud)Nestor Thanks this. -
