    Driveline Vibration. U-Joints, Carrier Bearing, and Output shaft Bushing Replaced.

    I've been chasing a similar vibration for years, but I would suggest removing the rear section of driveshaft and checking to see if the vibration is still there. Mine is and I assume this means it is transmission or torque converter or as bedwards above mentioned the mating of flywheel and TC...

    speed related Vibration (approx 55-75) seeking opinions

    Thanks for this information. It will take me a while to fully investigate as I have too many projects going also. I am so thankful that I thought about running it up to speed with the rear shaft out as I had convinced myself that it had to be coming from the rear end. Absolutely rules out so...

    speed related Vibration (approx 55-75) seeking opinions

    New carrier bearing arrived and I pressed it on. There seems to be so little alignment error that can be made and with the big rubber mount that the carrier bearing sets in that I am assuming the bearing becomes self-aligning. I installed the half shaft with new carrier bearing last night and...

    Thanks for the input. Rear Trans mount looks, feels fine. I am currently waiting for the new carrier bearing, but now another question, Is there a specific procedure for aligning a carrier bearing? There is enough slop in the holes that if you were really careless you could get it torqued or...

    Introduction- the new guy

    Thanks for the welcome and the comments. Yes I have always been an Olds man, but my neighbor had this Suburban, and I watched him baby it for years. When he started riding around with a for-sale sign in the window, how could I not love this baby. It's got over 211K on it and starting to show...

    Introduction- the new guy

    My name is Allen and I have an 87 R10 Suburban. I've had it about 15 years and I was fortunate enough to buy it from the original owner who loved it. I have only used it for vacations and trips so it doesn't get used much, but always gets looks going down the road. I've been finally...
