The vibration shows up at the speeds of 55-70, only when there is some load on the driveline. If I am driving at a constant speed, no vib. If I lig...

Re: New to forum

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm a member over on Oilburners.net, and drive an old '86 F350 diesel 4x4 crewcab. So the minivan scene is new for me. My wife and I needed more room for our growing family, so I went for the Astro due to its size, driveline and 4x4 capability. The Astro is very comforta...
