Hello all,
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram Rumble bee 1500

I'm having this issue where my truck starts to vibrate and gets noisy. It's not consistent and comes and goes on its own. Does it hot or cold, in gear and out of gear. Idle needle and other stay put.

So far tried.. Complete tune up, clean throutle body, replaced alterntor, replaced both pullies, replaced idler pulley.

I'm at a lose to what it could be, feel it on the stearing wheel and in my feet. Any ideas?

 

Motor Mounts, check them & replace them.

Also if you don't mind, tell us what modifications (if any) you have done to the truck, as well as how many miles are on it?

Also Welcome to Dodge Forums!

 

Thanks Izero,
Yea forgot to give that info, about 74k miles, 4x4. No mods all stock. I had someone drive my truck. They said the motor mounts felt fine. Although ofcourse my truck wasn't doing it.

 

well 74k Miles isn't a lot, but if it was abused or if it just sat for an extended period of time the motor mounts could wear out... I would start by either checking the mounts yourself or having them checked by an certified mechanic that is reputable.

 

Broken or worn transmission mount?

 

Also a possibility... it's more common on 4x2's from what I understand, but should also be checked.

 

When you say it does it in or out of gear are you sitting still? or do you kick it into neutral going down the road? The reason I ask it may be a wheel bearing going bad.

 

Wheel bearing was next on the list, but at that level of vibration he's describing, he would be experiencing severe steering problems at higher speeds to the point the truck would lose control... so not sure that's the problem yet.

Vibrations Can be caused by a ton of things but the most common are: (in no order)

1) Bad Motor/Trans Mounts

2) Bad Wheel Alignment

3) Flat/Low Tire (durrrr)

4) Out of Round Tire (usually only happens when a vehicle sits for a LONG time)

5) Warped Brake Rotors

6) Bad Wheel Bearing

7) Failed Steering Component

8) Failed Suspension Component

9) Body-to-Frame bushings/mounts (usually on other frame on body cars or pick-up beds)

10) Bent Control Arms (A-Arms)

11) Dented or Out of Balance Drive-shaft

12) Bent Wheel(s)

13) Out of Balance Wheel(s)

There's prolly more but I can't think of all of them at the moment, so lets go with those for now. Get to work OP!

 

check lug nuts sounds like a loose wheel or broken belt in the tire. Mine was doing that same thing and it was a rear tire with a broken belt. only did it above 65 mph though..
