At this point the only assumption I can make is that the shuddering issue is somehow related to my blown plenum gasket discussed in my other thread. I believe its possible that the engine only acts up while under loaIt’s worth noting that the truck shook before any evidence of a blown plenum gasket presented itself. (including a complete lack of any warning lights including the CEL). In fact I made a thread about that issue as soon as I could once I was aware of it.

Indeed. Once the plenum gasket is repaired, if it continues, I’m going to look into the speed sensor. I know somebody with a 98 Neon and a speed sensor went bad, causing the entire car to buck forward and back when the speedometer was held at a given spee
I didn’t mean to imply that I was just going to go change it right away. By look into it I meant that I would do whatever test would tell me if it was bad or not.
That’s cool, I just get a lot of people tell me they suspect this sensor or that and they just replace it and when that doesn’t work they get a bit frustrated, I’m just trying to prevent that.
Oh I know, sometimes when people think they know how to fix a problem, even when there’s no evidence there is no stopping them from trying and often making things worse!
The truck started making some new sounds, and I feel that one may be related as it’s definitely coming from the rear end. Any time the wheels are turned more than a little to the left, a creaking sound is heard which I’m pretty sure is a bad ball joint. H
well that could be related to all the vibration issue’s or just a 2nd issue. this is something i don’t think anyone thought of was the rear end. i would jack up the hole rear end and check each outer axle for play and any noise’s. also pull the rear diff
