Good morning ranger station. I've posted pretty much this exact same thing probably 2 or 3 times. My 2.9 has a shudder/shaking issue and has since the day I got it running after buying it. This is probably my 4th or 5th time having this problem randomly just show up one day when I get in to drive it some where, after having "fixed it" within just 1 - 3 weeks prior. It honestly at this point seems like I can just randomly pick any 1 of the dozen or more parts/components that could cause this, replace whatever one I trouble shooted it to and decided was my problem, and the truck will run like a TOP, for a couple weeks and then guess what? Back to the drawing board. When I say it seems like I can pick any part at random, replace it, have my issue not only solved, but thoroughly impressed with the way it performs after, then the problem is back again a cpl weeks later and it's been a never ending cycle. Here is the list of everything I've already replaced:
Wheel bearings
Hubs
Carrier bearing/center support bearing
U Joints
Spark plugs x2
Wires
Coil
Distributor cap
Distributor
Set to 10 degrees btdc
Pcm
IAC
tested TPS - passed
O2 sensor - passed
Fuel pump in tank
Fuel filter
Fuel lines
Fuel pressure regulator
Air filter
Map/maf tested and passed
EGR/evr tested & passed
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.
So does anybody have idea what the heck I should do with this truck? It's my daily driver or I would love to just park it and rebuild the motor unfortunately I can't and it has to get me to work... In less than 24 hours. Any help is really greatly appreciated
