Well I took it to the dealer last week and their technician said when he drove it he couldn't get it do vibrate. As soon as I get time I'm going to take it back over and have one of their guys ride with me so I can show them. The hard part is im on my last semester of college so free time is far and few between

119k.

I replaced plugs at 105k.

Tranny went out at 117k. Replaced. And since the past 1k the same exact vibration has been getting worse and worse for me.

However, when in OD mine will also sputter occasionally now which leads me to believe a coil is going bad. But its not bad enough to set a code yet.

I have right around 70k on my truck, I had the exact same vibration for a split second... It didn't do it all the time but here and there. I replaced my boots and wires not because of that problem and it is completely gone... Coils should last to at least 150k. Like I've said before on this site get you some new boots and wires for $40 at pep boys they stock them and it's worth a shot then buy 8 new coils at $50 a pop.

Our trucks dont have wires. Just coils and boots.

Purchased Eight new coils for $250. BWD brand. Never any issues with them.

Replaced all coils and boots today. Wow. Its a whole other truck. Performance is extremely noticeable. Took it for a quick spin. Didnt notice the vibration. However i will need to drive it a little longer to know for sure but man if things arent looking a ton better!

I was pretty sure a coil was bad. And ive seen enough horror storys on here to just put up some cash and be done with it.
