Well had a trans built for the brush truck and got it back today and on the way home it started to shutter at about 1/2 throttle and 45-60mph slower and faster no problem or more throttle all is good. Also while they had it they rebuilt the rearend (berings and seals preventive maint.). Went back to the shop and the mech went for a ride and said it was the pinion angle off sence there wasent any water nor equipment on it. Id go for that but it is a stock suspention. Had no problems before it went over there. Whats yall opion on what could be makin the vibration? U joints are tight no play. Feels like to me its in the rearend to much play in the ring and pinion.

My ram did this. The lock up on the converter went out. Started out very minor until finally it would shake the truck apart trying to lock the converter unless you let up on the throttle or gave it more. Put in a new converter and problem solved. I am betting they reused an old converter or you got a bad reman.

brush truck as in the fire dept brush truck? And they won't take it back to fix it? That's playing with fire, literally.
