hello, I have a 93 SE V6 kingcab that has been in shop for over a month and after a 1000 bucks worth of parts stii not fixed. About 2 months ago the truck developed a bad noise/vibration when accelerating, was so bad felt like truck was coming apart sometimes. Took to my tech who was a nissan tech for 20 yeras beore opening his own shop. He assured me it was the rear end chunk. Had a hard time finding one and finally got one from a junk yard. Put in the chunk and problem was still there. Then said I needed 3 universal joints and a center bearing. This helped the noise about 50% but the vibration is still there and is very bad. Gets worse from 40mph and up . It feels like I just drove the truck thru a mud bog and the tires still have the mud stuck to them (best way I can describe it). He now says he thinks its the tires but I dont buy that. Im just throwing money at an old truck. He said he did not no what else to do to it. I have used this truck for 5 years to tow a trailor and mowers for my biz. Could it be the tranny?axleshafts? Tech said he was sure it was not these 2 things. Any help appreciated before I junk/sell the truck for parts. BTW it has a 182K miles and the engine is smooth as a new one.
