First i have no codes on lights that come on. At a speed that starts at 60 mph and goes to 65 mph, i get a vibration that is not a tire or wheel vibration. It is like you wold get if the engine mount was bad. At this time , the sound of the engine also changes. It gets a different deeper sound. If i go to passing gear or go below 60 mph or above 65 mph it goes away. But as soon as i go in that range it comes back . it does not matter if under load or not. At the same time as this started , i started getting a noise when shifting between gears. When still, if i shift between drive and reverse, I get a noise the sounds like a creaking door and lasts a couple seconds. Like it is slowly going to gear. Please help Joe

Hi
Suspect a bad U joint with the creaking and vib at specific speed . Maybe dry and needle bearings worn allowing vibration.
Let me know
Thanks for donate

Hi Thanks for the reply.. But i do not think it is a uni. On the way to work i ran at the speed to get the vib. and then took the truck out of overdrive and kept the speed the same . The vibration went away. A uni. would still make the vibration would it not? Couild it be in the transmission? thanks Joe
