Ive got a 08 Hemi Ram 1500.. just last night i started getting a noticable vibration comng from the front end.. when I start up the truck you feel it right away in the steering wheel and you can hear it.. almost sounds like a propeller.. noise and vibration is there before I put the truck in drive and goes away after a bit, but as soon and i turn the heat on in the truck it starts up right away.. anyone else have this similar problem that knows what this could be?

 

sounds like you might have a broken fan blade or a bad motor/transmission mount... best check out the radiator fan when the engine isn't running, and try to isolate the problem visually with the engine running if the fan is okay.

If you have a check engine light it could also be a misfire causing a vibration...

 

thanks ill keep you posted once I get it figured out

 

just saw that you have a 6" lift + 3" level and headers....

Check to see if the headers are touching any part of your lift kit... some headers have clearance issues.

 

NBERam1500,

I'm sorry to hear about the vibration you're experiencing. Have you noticed any additional symptoms since the vibration started? Have any performance issues come up?

You have mentioned the vibration returns when the heater is turned on, does the same thing happen if the Air Conditioning as well?

In some cases a failing AC condenser or overcharging can result in a vibration. It may also be beneficial to have a look at the pulleys as well.

 

appriciate everyones help after a little cleanup under the hood turns out it was some thick mud on the radiator fan that was causing all that vibration!! cleaned it right up and the vibration is gone.. glad it was just that
