I have a 1996 GMC 3500, Crew Cab, Long Bed, 454 [7.4], Automatic, 2 Wheel Drive [not dually]. It has a vibration that begins at around 30 mph and seems to fade away at around 45-50. I just put new tires on it, made sure they were well balanced, the vibration didn't go away. The vibration is still there when I put it in nuetral and coast [engine at idle] through that MPH range. If I accelerate hard through that MPH it still shows up. The vibration is not resonating through the steering wheel. What do you think?

My 2008 started doing the exact same thing after I replaced the engine mounts with the cheap ones with the lifetime warranty made by Anchor...they are total junk. I spent a year troubleshooting and when I finally replaced them with factory AC Delco engine mounts, the vibration went away. It has to do with the fact that aftermarket engine mounts are not “tuned” to the specific resonance of your engine whereas the factory mounts from GM are. I will never go cheap on any engine or transmission mounts from here forward...always AC Delco!

May be one of rear wheels. Change fron to back see if trbl moves noticably, then go to dealer of the tires you got.

Your front pump in the transmission could be going bad. Check the transmission fluid for level and condition. The fluid should be bright red and not burnt (dark in color like burgandy). Best thing to do is take it to a transmission shop and have them check your truck for DTC codes with a Tech 2 scanner and have them do a transmission line pressure test. The whining can also indicate low on transmission fluid and that's bad, you may have burnt some of the clutch packs already and shorten the life of your transmission. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.

Have your tires checked, you probably have a shifted belt in one or more of the tires.

SOURCE: 1999 GMC 3500 crew cab, 8' bed we high centered

You need to replace that crossmember because that is the steady bearing to keep the driveshaft straight and true. It shouldn't be a hard piece to find in a scrap yard or auto salvage. Remove the driveshaft first. The crossmember should unbolt from the frame, if it has rivets, cut or grind them off and replace them with regular bolts. Kind of a pain in the **** job, but $100 or less should put you back on the road. Hope this helps.

My 2001 GMC LB7,abruptly shut off...Will crank,but will not start

Check the oil first, the low oil sensor will disable the ignition if more than a quart low. Miles on this truck warrant a new fuel pump and fuel filter. GM fuel pumps, don't handle Methenol Fuel very well.(water).

I have a 1999 gmc 3500 crew dually with a 454 engine in it. This week it started running rough and idling funnny. Could this be the fuel filter or something else?

The fuel filter may need to be replaced, but wont fix the problem you have. Its just a maintenance item that should be done every 15k miles anyhow. Check it over, check the large hose between the air filter and the engine make sure its secure. see if all hoses are ok, if you see/hear a vacuum leak. If all looks ok, time to have it checked by a shop.

What is the correct tire pressure for 1994 Chevy 3500 crew cab dually?

It should be posted on the driver side door post, or glove compartment door. If not, If you're running load range "E" or "D" tires, I would run around 80 psi.There should also be a max psi listed on the tires somewhere around the bead of the tire.

Serious understeer with 96 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually

Are the tie rod ends tight? Is the trac bar (frame end) tight? The steering boxes on these trucks require more input that a 1/2 ton truck or a car. How is the alignment? The caster on these should be set to about 5 degrees, the original specs allow a lot of wandering.
