Replying to: house419 (Sep 13, 2009 6:45 am) Since this is an intermittent problem, it's most likely a broken cable. It could be the gear on the transmission, or the speedo itself. I would take it to a speedo shop, there work is usually pretty reasonable for what they do. |

I have a 96 GMC Jimmy 4x4 that vibrates at speeds above 65 mph, most noticeable when traveling uphill. I have looked at multiple posts on the internet regarding vehicle vibration at speeds above 64-66 mph, and couldn't find a good solution. So far, I have replace the wheel hub assemblies, front half-shafts, rotors, drums, tires (even had them road forced balanced), and driveline u-joints. The only thing left to replace is the front differential and the rear differential bearings. I did notice that I have a bad mody mount on the front right of the vehicle. Could this really cause this vibration? The vehicle vibrates the most at the door hinges and mirrors. I did notice that there might be excessive play in the driver-side differential driveshaft flange. Any ideas out there before I try replacing something else? I was thinking about taking the front cv shafts apart and only placing the part that help keeps the wheel hub assemblies together...I don't need 4x4 that bad. Thanks.
