Truck Help

[Horry For 3!]

My truck has been acting up for like a month or 2 now. When I have the truck idling it will shake heavily and if I am waiting at a stop sign or stop light, if I have my foot on the break, it'll start shakin back n forth bad. If I don't have my foot on the break then it wont shake but does sometimes.

Does anyone know what the problem is and about how much it will cost to get it fixed?

time to get a new truck? :angel

broken/cracked motor mount. How much it costs will depend on how it is designed and how hard it is to get to. The part isn't that expensive.

Did you try ctrl+alt+del?

I noticed hearing like air coming out of somewhere near the motor.

Thats not surprising...if your motor is pulling up off the broken motor mount it could have also created an exhaust leak...either a cracked manifold or broken the seal on the clamp from the manifold to the downpipe to the catalytic converter/muffler

Hopefully it isn't too expensive.

your brake power booster is bad it is vacuum operated and that noise you hear is the vacuum leak about $250 is what it should cost for a rebuilt booster and labor not a big deal

Horry....You have not included the Year, Make Model, and Mileage...Nobody can accurately diagnose your problem with the lack of information you have provided....

But it sure sounds like the water pump and the tensioner pulley...Go to Pep Boys.... :smokin

What kind of truck is it.

Horry, is the shake constant? I had a '95 Chevy Blazer that started doing the same thing and I replaced the fuel filter and brake booster and it still went on. Come to find out (when I changed the oil and saw brass in it) that a bearing went out and wasted the motor.

Take it for an electronic / mechanical diagnostic at dealer.

Nah, it is off and on. Sometimes it will shake and sometimes it won't. I do need to change the oil on it though.

Horry, the Blazer did the same thing. It wouldn't always shake, and sometimes the "Check Engine" light would come on, but I could never get a garage to get a reading on their computer.

Check the oil when you change it and look for metal/brass in it.

The Check Engine light never comes on though.

I already got the info I needed. I don't need this thread anymore.

I took it to the shop today and he fixed it. The guy said it was a Vaccum Leak....I don't know how that would make my truck shake back n forth when I push on the breaks but if it doesn't do it anymore....awesome!

Plus he fixed my Cruise Control...only $35 :smokin

Yeah, I just drove it around and everything works :elephant I am happy now. All I have to do now is to change my oil and everything is good to go. :)
