: Vibration in 5th?

I seem to be getting a vibration in OD at low rpms. This usually happens on city streets at 1500-1800 rpms. Does any one else notice this? This vibration is probably there at all rpms but at low speeds it makes the truck shudder a bit.

I have a 04.5 lly with about 16,000 miles. I have never limped the tranny and don't beat on the truck.

No lift, stock rims and tires.

I guess I am the only one that is getting this type of vibration. What would cause this? Would it be the convertor? I guess it could be in the drivshaft but it seems to be only noticable at low rpms in 5th. It could be there at other rpms but just as a different frequency that makes it hard to notice.

You ould hook up a scanner and watch the slip( if there is any) and that would tell you if it's the converter or not.

Scanner? Will the Predator scanner work?

When diagnosing a problem I prefer to use a scanner that will give me evrything I need as far as info. Tech 2 or Mastertech.
