ok I’ve got a 388 2012 model has 400k on it. The truck has a bad vibration between 62mph-68mph ! But the vibration doesn’t just start when just get in the truck in leave you have to drive around 80-100 miles down the road and more you drive worst it gets. I’ve replaced Ujoints new drive line carriers bearings. Can someone please tell me what to do it’s driving me crazy and getting worse. And another thing I noticed when it starts if you jerk the wheel to the right the vibration gets worse!! If someone had this problem let me know what to do thanks

Front wheel bearings? Engine/transmission mounts? Harmonic balancer? Did you hit a curb with the steer tire?
-
tires out of round. bent rim etc.

No new tires all the around had them balanced and the vibration is coming from the rear not front! Today I noticed it started right after I got up to speed usually you have to drive around 80-100 miles check all motor mounts good I don’t know what else to do could it be a power divider ?
-
was back tires balanced, have you check ride hight, all drive shaft yokes in line. etc

i had same problem with my pete 379 before the winter. All new ujoints and carrier bearing. also 2 yokes. Still had same problem. Wound up taking it to a shop that has all peterbilts and builds glider 389's as well near me. HE found the last drive shaft to be bad. Replaced that one and rebalanced driveshafts. Truck feels brand new. VEry irritating vibration and noise from about 62 mph to 75. All is good and i was skeptical when i first took it out but dam its fixed. HE also had driveline alignment checked as well. Also should mention he replaced front passenger side wheel bearings. Didnt ask for it and didnt ask if it had anything to do with vibration

all the yokes need to be inline together
