At a constant speed on the highway I give a little gas and the entire truck shakes. Not like a bad alignment or anything more so like a ujoint or trani?
WHile pulling my small utility trailer yesterday the engine redlined, I stopped and noticed clear fluid all over the ground close to the front of the truck. ANy idea? IS it TRANSMISSION OR SOMETHING ELSE? IT WAS CLEAR FLUID SO PROBABLY NOT TRANI?
I think its probably front differential. Agree?

Hi walkergs,

Thank you for the donation.

The vibration described is most probably from the drive trains. You need to check for unbalanced propshafts and bad U-joints.

Apart from the front differential gears, only the AC compressor would use clear fluids. You need to check which is the source by visual inspections.
