At highway speeds when I let off the accellerator I get sound like I got monster mudgrips on my truck. It sounds worse when I push the clutch in. the truck also shudders right when it comes to a stop. Any ideas? Truck has 67,000 milese on her.

At first glance it sounded like a bad shaft bearing, BUT after rereading your post, I would pull the entire driveshaft out and check your u-joints and carrier bearing, the low speed shutter usually tends to be u-joint related, while the high speed noise you hear could be a bearing or a u-joint.

Best of luck

 

I would say u joints

 

Dropped it off at a well respected tranny shop here in corpus. Ace Transmissions - these guys are fair priced and honest as the day is long.

He said "sounds like a u-joint"

Ill let you guys know.

thnks
OT

 

What tires are you running?

 

highway tread firestones

 

Next door neighbor had a similar issue and the dealership ended up saying he had a froze up u-joint. Replaced the u-joint and that section of driveline.

 

I posted this on TDR and DTR.

And the winner is DTR. It was a rear u-joint.- Trucks runing great.
