Roger that Hemrick. Did you have a check engine light on, or did it just show up on the scan?

 

No check engine light. I just wanted to check and see if there were any codes.

 

Looks like I'll be heading to Autozone to see if I have any codes....

 

Any resolution buddy? I'm still at a loss.
One of the things I've noticed, is that it seems to e worse when the engine/transmission aren't fully up to operating temp. Wish I could put the thing into a 'relearn' and see if there's ANY change...

 

I have had no luck with a resolution. I am currently talking to Chrysler about all the issues I have had with this truck. Last week I started to hear a "tick" on the left side of the engine. I crawled under and found 2 more broken exhaust manifold studs. This time it is on the left side. In April it was in the shop for two broken on the right side. If Chrysler is unwilling to help with troubleshooting the shudder, broken studs or both I will get more serious with my complaints. May just trade it in for a Silverado.

 

try this

dealer vibration equipment is $5000 so not all dealers have a nvh analyzer. most driveshaft vibrations frequencies are at 40-50hz.

 

Hey buddy, any resolution on this? It's driving me nuts...

 

I have just been dealing with it but last week I finally got a check engine light. When the light comes on it does get worse. I am dropping it off in the morning to let the shop look at it. I will let you know what they say.

 

Well, some not so good news.

I went to TWO different drive shaft specialists asking about the transmission as the dealer said my driveshaft was bad. They can't even service the damn thing. They also don't think there's anything wrong with the driveshaft, unless it's a balance issue. U-Joints look good, and they think they center bearing is okay as well.

That led me to a transmission specialist. Real nice guy actually. Spent 40 minutes analyzing and driving my truck while hooked up to a scanner, and didn't charge me a dime.

Anyway, using his scanner during the drive, he noticed some Torque Converter slippage is occurring during the shuddering, most noticeably during low RPM shifts. It's not doing it when the engine RPM is up, only under low load stuff.

I was told by the stealership that my fluid levels were okay. But then again, they also said that my driveshaft was bad.

So, I'm going to check my fluid per the manual (pain in the **** actually) in the morning, to ensure I've actually got enough in there.

Let me know how your visit went when you get time.

Thanks

 

The check engine light was for a engine oil pressure sensor. Nothing related to the shudder. I hope it's not the TC. I got 6 months with this truck just hoping it lasts till I trade it in.
