Ok, heres the skinny...

5 weeks ago I went over a curb bump and my clutch fan blades made my radiator give me a green showers.
Replaced radiator.
1 week later... I noticed the clutch was wobbling and slightly loose.
Replaced fan clutch.
1 week after that, I was drivin on the highway, accelerated hard and sounded like it happened again. Pulled over, couple drops of freeze under the truck, great. Took it to mechanic.
Replaced radiator, water pump, harmonic balancer & timing belt.
I get the truck back... guess what? 1 week later...
Replaced left motor mount.
Sometime after changing the balancer I began to notice a vibration that seems to come only when going 50mph and from somewhere in the middle/back of the truck. I always put my ebrake on. I was wondering if maybe its like partially not releasing all the way or what. I lift the truck and I can spin the wheel. I slap it in neutral on a hill I will roll. But when im cruisin
on the highway and take my foot off the gas there is a significant slow down. I slap it on neutral while on the highway still does it. My mechanic says its the tires, but I will never part w my Wrangler's.

Idea's anybody :?:

Tires? Are they balanced? What pressure are you running them at? All lugs ok? Lug nuts OEM, torque to the same ftlb and how much? Rims not bent or cracked?

Try filling your tires up to 38 psi and see if that helps.

Lug nuts should be tightened to around 90 ft-lbs.
If you over tighten them you can stretch or even snap a lug, if too loose they can back out.
This is something that should be checked every time after wheeling as you air back up and before you get on the pavement. So if you plan to wheel or work on your truck you should buy a torque wrench and leave it in your truck. Be safe yo!
In the meantime have Mike (your personal mechanic) check them or come buy my place (after calling to make sure I’m there and free) and I’ll check them.

Wait, you're missing studs? WTF Justin?
Replace the missing studs, torque the lug nuts and air up. Tell us what happens.

You need help replacing the studs?

Are you using OEM lug nuts?

(Moved this thread to the proper section...)
