I bought my current rig a few months ago, and its had a buzzing/vibration at idle that I haven't been too worrried about...until it just got slightly worse, or at least my sensitivity to it has gotten worse since I got all the other stuff that was bugging me straightened out. It happens from idle to about 1200 rpm, clutch depressed or not, and in or out of gear. Clutch has about 20K on it and works fine and I don't have any clutch slippage, but there is some shudder in reverse, but only sometimes. I searched the forum and found everything I could about the DMF, but it didn't really answer my questions. I am also thinking it could be motor mounts, trans mounts, or engine/bellhousing bolts. So I will check all those. Is checking the flywheel through the inspection cover possible, or is total removal required to check the play between the DMF sections? Any other recommendations or ideas? Also, I have no idea yet what clutch or flywheel setup is on it now as PO had it installed, though most service on the truck was done at a Ford dealership.
