ButchB Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I just picked up a 2017 pinnacle chu613. MP8, air ride with meritor rears. MDrive trans. Noticed on the way home with it that at any speed over 50, it shakes and vibrates when you let off the gas. I can't really tell if its coming from the front or rear. As soon as I give it a little gas it goes away. Any ideas? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Check ALL u- joints and carrier bearing. Release park brake and let truck sit. Keeping tension on those areas may keep from movement Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgumby Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Don’t forget to make sure all your yokes on trans and rear ends are tight too. I usually chock the front wheels release the brakes and jack up the rears when I do this so it unloads the driveline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchB Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I just chocked the front wheels, knocked the brakes off and check the driveline. Everything feels tight. The carrier bearing is the only thing clean under the truck so it appears it may have been replaced recently. I'm gonna go drive it and see if it goes away if I go to neutral while its vibrating.

It does sound like a bad carrier bearing though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
