Truck tremble at around 50 mph?
hey guys...Man I hope someone here can help me. I bought a 1997 F150 Std. Cab, 4.6 4wd. Thinking I got a great deal. I love the body style and the truck in general. I knew it had some issues and I am working on correcting them. but this new issue just baffles me...
.
At crusing speed, between 45 and 50 mph (1500 rpm). It starts to tremble. sometimes really bad. This only happens after I have been driving 15-20 minutes. If you step on it ... you can get it to pull out of it. It also does a little, short tremble when accelerating from a stop.
I recently replaced the Control arms, bushing, and ball joints. I also recently found out that the Cats have been gutted.
The couple of shadetree guys I have talked to seem to think something is up with the torque converter or the electronic tranny. Anyone else experience anything like this? I dont mind fixing it....Just dont want to do alot of un called for fixin'
. Any adivse will be greatly appreciated.
