Mine was built 02-03 and Ive got the problem...and its annoying...65 or 1700RPM there is non but when it gets over 70...I have too go over 75 to make it stop >

I posted a thread about this almost 6 months ago and looks like nothing has changed :-[

 

had the vibe @ 2000 - 2200-- about 70 -74 mph-- TSB came out last week- dealer replaced power steering line with one that has a heavy weight on it for counter-balance- looks like a tumor- tempered the vibe down but still get the shiver- like the buzz from an electric razor- got a sneakin suspicion the problems in the 47RE -- apparently none of the newer models have this condition but they also have the 48RE--

 

I have been awhile for awhile, but my dealer told me yesterday that Dodge knows what the problem is, and it is supposed to be with the frame. They (Dodge) supossedly have something that will be mounted onto the frame to solve the problem shortly..that was what I was told as I have the vibes at 2000rpm as well

 

I had the TSB performed and it helped a great deal. I will submit pictures of what is done to members photos , under technical . There are two clamps (C in pictures) on the two powersteering hoses to keep them from rubbing on each other, one Protector of a single hose (P) where the two hoses cross and could rub, and the weight for dampening (W).

I could not figure how to upload a photo to the administrator of the technical photo section, so I uploaded one to my gallery. On three subsequent trys to upload the second pic, clicking on Browse locked up my computer. So one pic shows the TSB.

Do you remember the TSB number? My dealer claims to have no knowledge of it.

Thanks

Does anyone know what the TSB # is. I tried the link above but it would not open. A friend of mine is having this problem and can not figure out what is wrong with it.

 

The TSB #19-008-03 The part # is 52113926AF thats for the replacment power steering line

 

Vibe still there after the TSB and a lot of miles but not as bad- problem is the vibe is being transmitted from the engine and it appears the power steering hoses are a major carrier- put a piece of ethafoam between the hoses and the ps reservoir and that helped more than the tsb- still think dc could brainstorm a better idea than the "tumor on the hose" cure-- by the way when the truck has been sitting in -20 or colder for 4 days it doesn't vibrate at all-smooth as a baby's butt!

 

Has anyone had their 2004 model year trucks vibration fixed yet??
I'm talking about the driveline vibe,not the p/s vibration.

 

I had the vibration really bad but after my last oil change 7500 mi. I switched to Rotella T and also had them change the fuel filter and now it's just slight compared to what it was. I wonder if it is related to a fueling issue. Mine is '04 SO 4x2 w/ 48re. I am rapidly aproaching 9000 miles.

 

No. I had both of mine pulled and rebalanced. Both took weights but the vibration is the same.

 

Since I have this problem I have read what I believe to be every post on this site and TDR. Only two guys have posted a fix. Both say that it was fixed with a replaced transfercase. And no 2wd vibes have been posted. Seems like a no brainer.

 

That TSB on the weighted P.S. hose has been out at least 2 months I've been reading about it. That's not it however. And from all the posts I've read every day for the past 2 or 3 months I'd say without hesitation that there are more 04.5s with this vibration than prior year models. I'm not saying by any stretch that the vibration is limited to this particular model but they have a great deal more posted. The primary culprite is: SWB, 4X4 with 48RE. Now yes there are others, but not to the sheer numbers of that configuration. Everyone who has taken out there front shaft has noticed no vibration or droan, from what I've read. Also for those who have duplicated the same rpm problem area,...if you try it in tow mode,...no vibration or droan. Only two fixes posted and both were transfercase replacements.
