Can you put info on your truck in signature so we know what your vehicle is? Waht engine? I am assuming auto trans? Is vibration constant or on accel or decel? No signs of wear where?

auto trans. and its on accel yet constant (once i get out of third it completely quits, but when downshifted it starts again), if both then i cant hear it on decc, and by wear i meant that i checked all aound the control arms and nothing in those areas show signs of rubbing to cause the vibrating.

Where do you feel the vibration from? Steering wheel? Your seat? Any particular speed? Or, just whenever in second or third?
