Another Shaking '05
So last weekend on the trip to deer camp, about halfway there (out of a 200mi drive), i could feel a vibration/shake in the truck. doing 65 mph, didn't really transmit through the steering wheel. felt like out of balance tires...but normally if out of balance... the shake will always be there.
I pulled over and stopped to inspect tires thinking one was going flat. nope. I got back in and continued driving. Don't think I noticed it any more after stopping, or it disappeared quickly after that so i didn't think about it anymore.
Return trip home... it didn't do it at all.
FF to this weekend, drove all the way up again. On the return trip, very shortly after getting going, I noticed the shake...and much more prevalent this time...really noticeable. even felt it a bit in the wheel. after about 100 mi, the shaking stopped.
I've read other threads here, and am trying to figure out what would give me this kind of on and off problem.
I've seen U-joints, e-brake cable... but am not sure what's the likely culprit. I've got a friend whose similar truck hangs on wanting to jump into 4wd mode because of an issue...but wouldn't think that's what's going on here.
Short of hitting a dealership, what's the best plan of attack?
