driveline vibes

When you get to 55 MPH does it still do it when clutch is pressing to floor? If so it you and balanced tires, you likely either have a bad Ujoint, bad Ujoint angles (theses can create a lot of vibrations) or a drive shaft that is not balanced.

Well, changing tires won't suddenly affect driveline angles or the new CV joints so I would suspect one of the tires is out of balance or our of round or one of the rims is bad.

You could try rotating the tires to see if the vibration changes place. While doing that I recommend a hand spin of each tire to see if it is obviously out of round or has a bulge.

How fast are the tires spinning when the vibe happens? 5th and 2400 is kinda meaningless without knowing the gears and tranny ratios. On mine,

2400 in 5th would be about 85 mph.

I am not surprized that you think that tall gears with big tires are a great combo and 2400 at 85 is cool. And you try to pass yourself off as a expert too, Shame!!!! Not surprize coming for someone that tells people to spin the tires is reverse while in 4x4 to remove drivetrain stress. You are all show and no know.

Listen you insane asshole, I never said 85 at 2400 'or' tall ranges was cool, That is only in 'your' little pea brain.

Gotta keep trying bullshit because brilliance in your case just don't work eh snowjob?

I just stated that as a comparison so the OP might realize that different gear ratios make different speeds at a certain rpm range.

No one but no one can be as screwed in the head as someone like you who says they 'always' stop on the highway in a snowstorm to change gears and have been doing it for 35 years! (or how to cause a hundred car pileup in one easy lesson)

Absolutely 'nothing' I could ever post will top that one you insane fool!

Well..... maybe your conning some poor sucker the other day in rec.autos.4x4 to jack up his vehicle to relieve the driveline stress might. LOL! I felt sorry for the poor sucker! I'll bet most of the group got a good laugh also.

Can anyone imagine the laughs fools like that would get at the local off road area. Oops, hang on folks, gotta get out the jack because I can't shift out of 4 low so everyone take a break eh.

Just a hint for you fool, 'we' keep our vehicles in good mechanical shape so spinning the tires in mud or on dirt or snow isn't going to hurt anything, ever.

If we followed your advise, we would have to park it come first snow and never go off road or 'shudder' we might spin our tires and blow up our Jeeps!

Too bad you have let 'your' Jeep get so decrepit, it will self destruct if you spin the tires!

If the only change you made was the tires then you need to suspect that before anything else. Probably just need to balance. Did you change rims too? If so, suspect them also.

I would tend to agree with this but the tire size change would also have changed his cruising speed driveshaft rotational velocity. This could have exacerbated any pre-existing driveline alignment problem. It does sound like a front tire slightly out of balance. A quick and dirty diagnostic is to rotate the tires. If the noise goes away then back to the tire shop to get them all balanced.

Mike, I know how infuriating SnoTool is, but do us all a favor and ignore him, eventually he will go away.

You know what Bill, Matt is right. Feeding the idiot trolls just gives them the attention they crave. If they didn't personally get their rocks off by being abused back, they wouldn't post utter bullshit.

No, you would be being sensible for just letting it drop, like a man.

(Unless, of course, you're satisfying some inner need that most likely nobody wants to know about.)

Riiight. Just keep it going as long as you can, eh?

And if someone doesn't do what /you/ do consistently, they're instantaneously branded Wimp and Coward, your two most frequently used words.

Hmmmmm. Wimp and Coward. Weren't they a British Vaudeville act from the

1940s?

Give it a rest, Billy. After all, it is getting much harder to find playmates, is it not?

Just let it go; let it go here, there and everywhere.

There you go again.

EOT.

I've already received replice from others at cox, dope. You're lying as you always do, just as you're proving by replying to my post.

Billy, there is no need for you to have a valid e-mail address for me.

I don't want any more contract with scum, like you, other than on usenet.
