Odd vibration originating somewhere outside the cabin when the truck is under load (e.g. climbing an overpass or merging into faster traffic).
Truck has a 318 with 103,000 miles and has recently been repaired from a light front-end collision; it sat for an extended period while the
owner saved up money to fix the A/C condenser and the radiator core support and the front bumper and the hood latch. This has been done.
The transmission has been checked out by two shops and is operating normally. The front-end alignment has not been checked.
There is not the noise typical of bad u-joints with this vibration. Tires are worn.
Brakes are functional and safety/parking brake engages / releases normally.
No codes set.
The vibration seems to come from in front of the truck if you're riding in the front seat, but from behind you if you're in the back seat.
I'm thinking wheel bearings, but it might be tires out of balance / worn.
Does that sound remotely close to y'all?
