Consumer Description

THE WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT I MAY LOOSE CONTROL, OR THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STAY UPRIGHT. THE SHAKING CONTINUED UNTIL I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. A CAREFUL INSPECTION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF LOOSE PARTS. I DROVE ANOTHER 30 MINUTES (5 ON FREEWAY, 25 ON SURFACE ROADS) WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT. BAFFLING. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS DIESEL TRUCK IN MANY CONDITIONS AND ON MANY SURFACES WITH THIS TRUCK. VIBRATIONS HAVE BEEN STRONG SOMETIMES IN THE PAST, SET OFF BY "WASH-BOARDS" IN THE PAVEMENT...SEEM TO BE WORSE IN THE "TRACTOR TRAILER/SLOW" LANES. BUT THIS EVENT WAS 2-3 X THE INTENSITY. *TR
