My truck seems to have developed a really consistent vibration right at 2000 rpm. It does it in every gear, on or off the throttle and it does it stopped while revving with the clutch pedal in or out. Motor mounts looked good and the driveline is tight. Harmonic balancer maybe? anyway to test it before just buying a new one??

idk either but im subscribing. my truck has a vibration between 1k - 2k and black smoke (more than normal) it only does it when under 1/2 throttle slow rev. fast rev it doesnt do it.

My rig vibrates at 2k due to bad u joints. but swapping to a fluid damper might help if its not in the driveline, i have seen several threads about bad harmonic dampeners

yeah, this one does it when parked. slow gradual climb in rpms 1000-2000 shakes the whole truck. 2k rpms it stops instantly. if i rev it fast it has black smoke. way more than a stock truck should have. (done hijacking)

i noticed i have a little piece broke out of one of my fan blades 1/2 inch by 2 inches... surely that wouldnt do it??? im going to try taking the belt off to eliminate any accesories.

Mine just started doing the same thing starting at about 1500 rpm and up. It does it while parked in the driveway, whether the clutch is depressed or not. I was told it was the flywheel/clutch, so I dropped the tranny, replaced the pilot bearing and throw-out bearing. This had no effect. I replaced all 6 injectors since they were under warranty. Engine runs like brand new now, but still has that vibration. Could it be the fuel injector pump? I'm pretty much just guessing now. All my mechanics are scratching their heads!

mine has a brand new lift pump in it. it runs fine. just a little more black smoke than it should have. im thinking mine might be an injector. but i have no white smoke at start up or idle

Mine too, but I think it is fuel related(injectors have 160k on them). I got a company truck when it started. So I havn't had time to really drive it and/or investigate. Seems to have same symptoms. I am very interested in what you find out.
