1st trip for service

Took my truck in for the first time. Here is my list and what they said on each item.<br><br>--Vibration at 2000 RPM: Could not duplicate.<br><br>--Foul smell from AC, in max AC, that burns the eyes: Normal, and it will go away.<br><br>--Throw out bearing makes a lot of racket at idle in neutral with clutch pedal out: DC has a fix in the works, it is a bearing in the tranny. They will call me when they have the repair kit.<br><br>I guess all that LSD finally is resurfacing. I hate it when I halucinate.

Most likey an imput shaft brg or cluster shaft brg as was previously discussed. <br>

I have heard of the cosmoline smell but mine has a faint smell I get a whiff of at stop signs with the windows down most of the time. Smells the same when I change the oil too. I have 4800 Mi on the truck. Doesn’t bother me but I was expecting it to go away by now.
