I've done several searches here for this "common" Explorer problem. Between 50 & 60, I've got a moderate vibration in the driveline somewhere. You can feel it in the steering wheel. I've done the u-joints and checked the trans mount (good, but still got a new one to install maybe tomorrow). Bought new tires today . Now, I think one of the new tires didn't get balanced (no weight on it) but here's the kicker, with the truck in park, raise the rpms to 2100 ( around 50-60 mph) and you can feel the vibration. Now my question is this is a 4.0 ohv engine with around 290K on it, could the harmonic balancer be bad? Does Ford even use a 2 piece balancer on this engine?
