Vibration at 3000 rpm

Having successfully cured the hesitation on my chipped and inter cooled Puma (leaking inlet manifold seal) I have had the injectors re-programmed and the engine runs really well. It pulls strongly though the rev range and it seems to rev more freely.

The only issue I now have is when accelerating hard I get a harsh engine vibration though the steering column at 3000 rpm which quickly disappears as the revs rise above 3100 rpm. This problem seemed worse before the injectors were tuned but I suspect the two are unrelated and the improvement is probably more to do with the generally smoother running of the engine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Prop UJ on its way out? I have had them only show themselves at certain revs when they start to go

Check transferbox Andy diff flanges are not loose and or nuts as well too. Especially the rear most
UJ and rear diff flange, that area is the most prone to issues for many people.

Thanks guys.

I will get underneath and check the joints - only done 35K miles so it would be disappointing but who knows....

Curtis,

Did you manage to get to the bottom of the vibration??

I feel i have the same as you've described, especially when passing 3000rpm.

Mines just passed 15k miles.

Ive checked what the guys advised but no joy. Just wondering how youve got on?

Regards tom

Hi Tommy

No loose UJ's or any other obvious things underneath.

I have had my injectors re-tuned and that seemed to improve things. I think it is basic engine vibration but something behind the dash is resonating at 3,000 rpm which amplifies the noise.

Let me know if you find anything.
