| Hi all, I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 QC Auto, 5.9,360 w/77k miles. When I'm driving between 40mph and 50mph and then apply the brakes it does a weird Vibration/seen in the side view mirror the truck bed bouncing and even in the cab also can feel it in the pedal. but really noticable on a down hill. I'm not sure if its coming from underneath the truck. vibration/bounce does peak at 40 and goes away at lower speeds and if its still there its not noticable. I did have a "tread" seperation blowout but tire was still inflated on my right rear, and it seems like every since its been doing this , Now I thought it was my brakes so I replace them not once but twice.. 1st time 07/17/06 new rotors and pads then on 04/30/07 to find myself feeling this pulsation/vibration or bouncing again so I replace again turned the rotors and replce the pads, NOw its 10/28/07 and still feel it so I replace the back brakes turned drums to notice they seem appear to be in very good wear after 4 yrs or so..but still feel this after replacing them. What other problem could this be causing this. is it steming from I was think maybe shocks, drive shaft, Would and alignment be in order??? Experiences? If i take it in I'm almost sure they'll just give me the typical "We didn't seem to find anything wrong". or " We looked underneath, and everything seems to look fine and have to give them 100.00 for looking. | |

I have a 2003 Dodge ram 2500, hemi engine, and it was recently at the dealership to have the front and rear pinion seals changed and the tranny rear seal also, and ever since I got it back its been making a vibration/noise when I give it little throttle. The faster I am going the worse it is but its only when I slightly touch the gas. Doesn't happen when I am not touching the gas, doesn't happen when I push the gas down to accelerate. Only when I slightly push it to keep the same speed I am going. I took it back 3 times, they can not find a problem. I looked under it, everything seems fine. Any ideas???

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 QC Auto, 5.9,360 w/77k miles. When I'm driving between 25mph higher and then apply the brakes hard it does a weird Vibration/ shudder really bad seen in the side view mirror the truck bed bouncing and even in the cab the whole truck shuddering really bad or even feel it at the lower speeds, also can feel it in the pedal the pulsation. but really noticeable even worse(maybe due to the momentum on a down hill. when released not able to feel it . if Im going 70 and have to hit the brakes.. it shudders really bad. I Put new tires on, I'm not sure if its coming from underneath the truck. vibration/bounce does peak at higher speeds and starts goes away at lower speeds and if its still there its not that noticable. I did have a "tread" separation blowout but tire was still inflated on my right rear,, Now I thought it was my brakes since its only when I apply them and it can be felt only when applied , so I replace them not once but twice.. 1st time 07/17/06 new rotors and pads then on 04/30/07 to find myself feeling this pulsation/vibration in the pedal again so I replaced again, turned the rotors and replce the pads, Now its 7/14/08 and still been feeling it the last time i replaced the brakes so I replace the back brakes 04/30/07 turned drums to notice they seem appear to be in very good wear after 4 yrs or so..but still feel this after replacing them. What other problem could this be causing this. If by chance it is the front brake pads..Is it the(quality) ??? Experiences? I did have an accident 2 yrs ago rigth front side fender area in from of the wheel, but when they repaired the truck surly an alignment was done, would mit be the wheel bearing hub?? If I take it in I'm almost sure they'll just give me the typical "We didn't seem to find anything wrong ?? ". or " We looked underneath, and everything seems to look fine and have to give them 100.00 for looking. Or they'll say its my rotors or pads are bad, But when I put new rotors on and new brakes pulsating came back within couple mon months , Now I have done brake jobs for many yrs and havnt had this type of reoccuring prob. I raised the rear wheels to see how they would respond and rev'd up to 50pmh then applied the brake and seemed to be fine... does it really have something to do with those fronts? and why are they pulsating after a short period of time. ..Any other ideas?? I know if "A" mechanic gets it they'll start replacing parts until they find it. with the possibilities listed is it possible to find the problem fairly fast? is it best to take it to a dealer? Drive line out of balance, (wheel bearing) Hub Assembly, calipers, |

| Hey I got a 97 3500 diesel and my mechanic told me its time for a new trac bar .Should I up grade to a new one for a newer model with the help of a adaptor kit or stay with OEM . Truck does its share of work and off road play .Chef | |
| i have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with 4.7L. I've been getting this high frequency noise from underneath. It happens at most speeds only when im on the throttle, once i let off the throttle the noise stops until i get back on the throttle again. I changed the fluid in my differential, thinking that the noise was coming from in there, but the noise continued. I looked underneath, thinking something was loose, everything looks fine. I read another posting with similar problems, he was told it was the u-joint, perhaps. Will it be the same problem for me or is there something else it could be? | |

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4X4. Original owner and it has 38K miles. I have had the dealer replace the front rotors three times, resurfaced twice.....the brakes provide a pulsing sensation when applied. I have had the wheels re-balanced every 5K miles and the alignment checked between every 5-10K miles. The last rotor set was lasted only 4K miles. The dealership at this point says that it has past the warranty timeframe and that I am on my own. thoughts?
