Hey everyone, I searched the forums and still don’t see a solution.
I have a Trialmaster with 3700 miles in SoCal.
When in Drive with the foot on the brake, the engine has a bad vibration. The keys in the ignition rattle, every thing in the door pockets rattle.
Even my wife in the passenger seat notices the vibration.
I took it to Rusnak Pasadena , and they said it was normal. I test drove 2 other Grenadiers to compare. They also had a slight vibration but it was less intense.
I have other 4x4 trucks. Including a 1986 Mercedes 300GD and a Land Cruiser FJ75 Troop Carrrier ( Carburator, Solid Axles, Leaf Springs) and it has way less vibrations.
It’s odd that this new built truck has this weird vibration / shake. I checked all the heat shielding on the bottom as well as for any stuck “rocks” between drivetrain components. Engine cover is tight. I even fully removed it to test it, and still had the vibrations.
The second you put it in Park, it stops. Something happens when its in gear. The Tourque converter must be loading up and causing something to shake.
I love this truck, but it pisses me off that it does this at every stop light. I can live with the annoying drone/ vibration on the highway, but this idle issue is embarrassing.
Tried capturing it on video. Will upload soon.
Anyone else have this issue???
