I will try that tube! Haven't looked at that yet. I did the fluid with Mobil 1 on flat ground ~5k miles ago. I actually did the TC twice after I changed the rear output bearing. And yeah, I'm thinking I might try chassis ears next. Been reading up on the wired vs wireless. Thanks for...

Paging @2001LC here if you don't mind commenting on this topic. As I mentioned in the AT fluid swap thread, this issue has been driving me crazy (along with @LJE who seems to have a similar, but maybe not exactly same issue. And also @Usterzai who has also shot the parts cannon at his.) I've...

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Yeah, I kind figured that it wasn't transmission or torque converter related. I'm just kind of grasping at straws here! :( If you don't mind, I might tag you in that thread in case you have any other ideas here! Ahh, my mistake here. Yes, I did use Mobil 1 MV FS...

@2001LC , if you don't mind, can you explain this edit comment some more? I am going absolutely crazy trying to track down a highway vibration here in my 2001 LX. TL;DR I've shot a huge parts cannon at the problem, and while it has gotten better, I still have a vibration when I'm on the...

@LJE I saw you wanted to make a master list of all the things you have tried. I don’t think this will help as I believe you have done more than me, but here is my latest list of “parts canon” items I have done: Things I've changed (all OEM parts): Front CVs Front Flanges All new Front UCAs...

Yeah, I just read your post and saw you tried a transfer case swap!! And yes, I remember you had done front and rear diff work as well. Wild to hear that didn't fix it! This puts me even more at a loss for words. And you have done so much more work than I have. And no, I haven't done any...

Hi all, sorry for the radio silence. I only wanted to report once I had some good news, but sadly I haven’t had much good news to report. Update on the Balanced Rear Shafts: Got them back from the driveline shop. I had given them two brand new OEM rear drive shafts. I asked them to “test”...

I love all this baselining work! Your engine looks super clean under the valve covers. This seems somewhat surprising given how badly they treated the interior in this one previously.

Oh man, this is such a bummer to hear. Thanks for the detailed report though. I've been meaning to update the other thread with my latest findings. (TL;DR my newly balanced shaft helped a bit, but didn't fix it all.) First off about the dealers, yeah, it is super frustrating. When I bought...

Dang man! I feel like this is the saddest story on the forums. All I can say is thank you to your dedication for trying to figure this out. The amount of parts replacement you have done here is at heroic levels. It is wild to see how chewed up your TC bearing was. I might have to try your...

So quick update on my driveshaft balance. I drove up to Sacramento so I could take them to "Drive Line Services of Sacramento" given they had the best reviews around the NorCal area. Shop was bumping. Looks like in addition to a bunch of car work they do a bunch of industrial stuff too...

I did a while back, but it has slowly gotten better as I've installed more and more new rubber. The engine/trans mounts helped a bunch. But the front sus and rear sus bushing change got rid of even more. I still haven't gone through all vacuum hoses to see if I can get the idle speed up a...

So I was getting confused with the Tremec App and while it was giving me "green" numbers I couldn't figure out what they meant by "Angle 1 and 2" Then I figured out the app is trying to look at not not 1, but 2 things. 1. Is your TC and Diff pointing in equal and opposite directions. They...

Super sorry to hear about your issue here Usterzai. I'm tracking down a similar issue here. Even though I've purchased two brand new OEM rear driveshafts, my latest theory is they are still the culprit. I did the swap around like you did putting the slip yoke by the TC and that made it...

Here is some slightly more accurate data. I used the Tremec app (its free) to get these. I ran it a few times, and most of the times it was close to these numbers. In these cases "Angle 1" is the TC and Angle 2 is the Diff angle. So it seems like both of them are pointing slightly up? Less...
