Consumer Description

I'VE GOT 40,000 MILES ON MY 2008 2500 QUAD CAB 6.7 CUMMINS. THE SYMPTOMS I NOTICED HAVE BEEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SUDDENLY IT'LL SOUND LIKE I HAVE A FLAT TIRE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS, THEN RESUME TO NORMALCY. BUT WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP, THE TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL YOU STOP. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHICH I DON'T, AND I DON'T DOWNSHIFT. I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED, OUT OF "DRIVE", AND IT STILL SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. MY TRUCK DOES HAVE THE SNOW PLOW PREP PACKAGE ON IT, BUT I DO NOT RUN A SNOW PLOW, AND AFTER RESEARCHING THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT LAST WINTER, I WOULD NEVER PUT A PLOW ON A QUAD/DIESEL; OR FOR THAT MATTER, ANY RAM. *TR
