New from Mount Vernon, WA (with a troubleshooting Q up front!)

Well, I don't have a Ranger just yet, but I'm definitely looking to get one soon to replace my current DD, a 2005 Impala. (Not that it's a bad car, I just can't carry the bigger stuff for my home improvement projects–and I always wanted a truck anyway )

I just test drove a great 2007 FX4L2 with 53,000 on it. I really like the truck, except it had an odd vibration around 50mph / 1800 rpm. The sales guy and I couldn't quite figure it out. It almost felt like the torque converter couldn't decide if it wanted to lock or not. OD on or off didn't change anything.

Does anybody think that this TRS thread is close to the culprit?

Thanks! I'm looking forward to joining the ranger community

It is a definate possiblity. I would check play in the ujoints too while you are at it. I have had a vibration in my truck for a long time. i swapped out the rearend and wheels and tires, 3in lift spindles and it lessend it. So have them check it which they should do no problem. But definatly get that truck. cause that thing is awesome. I am jealous.
