I have been having this strange vibration. It is noticeable first at 45mph and the worst between 50-60 and goes away again at 70. It only happens when i push on the gas and even if i just barely tap the gas it will cause it. The only way to make it stop is to let off the gas and let it drop about 3mph. I have no idea what it could be. Just bought my yukon dec. 1st. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it?

Check front end, tie rods, and pitman arm. Also check tires and make sure no weights came off or any warps. Does it have over size tires?

it has 265/70 R16 BF Goodrich all terrains on it. Dad thinks its a knot in the front tire or it needs a good balancing

problem occured while running the spare on the rear drivers side which is a 245/60 street tire

Got to be drive line issues if the gas pedal can change it. Check U-joints.:party28:

Yep. Universal joint. It makes a clunk sound when you go from neutral to drive or reverse. Its either broken or very worn out. happened in my dodge as well

Well...the bad news is the whole axle will turn with the truck in park and the brake set. I hope i did destroy the pinion gear.

could be a front hub bearing too, jack it up and see if you can wiggle the front tires.. if you can't its the arms.. stick your head out the window and see if you can see the wobble on the front tires when you're doing 45...
