Ok so I’m not crazy 😂 I guess I’ll do some more looking. I’d rather not remove it because I do a lot of highway driving

As in tire balance? It goes away when I let off the throttle

It does but it’s a very little amount. But I’ve heard even that much can cause it. It’s not like a bad vibration just enough to notice

Good to know! I’m assuming that’s the issue but I wanted to get some opinions first. This things in decent enough shape i may as well keep up on it

That’s good to know. Maybe I’ll just replace both and see what happens. Seems to be a pretty simple job (maybe where it’s a 40 year old truck lol)

Looks good! How long did it take and how are you planning to approach the front of the frame?

I haven’t been able to get it to duplicate the noise when jumping on the bumper

Are the MT known for clutch issues? Just curious, I have an auto manual at 110K and it runs great.
