yes i know, not another vibration thread!! but....

i,m not really new to this forum, i've moved and changed my user name. a keen observer may figure out who i used to be. i'm about to go out of warranty and have discovered an inconsistent shudder. shake, or vibration at 2 different speeds. one time it occured on a road i frequently travel between 30 and 40 mph. the whole truck shook! i was just a mile from my house so i shrugged my shoulders and thought maybe it was the wind since it was quite windy. then just 15 miles remaining of a370 mile trip home, for a 4 mile stretch at 75 mph it did it again. then as fast as it came, it went away! i have a few mods including: 5 lb pulley, factory tech trans kit, jlp chip, and cone filter. i couldn't find a similar problem regarding the 2 different speeds so that's why i need help. thanks,
john

I think Ford may have a fix for the low speed vibration. The high speed vibration probably has to do with the muffler. Several of us have changed out the cat back and lost the vibration.
