Default Finally Found my Vibration
After dealing with a vibration for awhile, finally found it out. 2 bad U joints on the driveshaft. One was seized baddly, other some. Had both replaced no more vibration! Also had my plugs done and a oil change.

I was thinking about that. My truck shutters occasionally but seems like it happens after I use the e brake. If its the u joint wouldn't this happen all the time? Especially on 4x4?

Mine only Shuttered between 20-40kph, and only if it was also between 2k-3k rpm, under 2k it wouldn't shutter.
