When I have my air on, the floor of my truck starts to shake. If it is on low, you can hardly tell there is shaking but when you put it on high than you can really tell. I need to know what is going on because it is rather annoying.

Hi:
Is the shaking coming from the engine or the fan motor itself?

I cannot tell, it just shakes on the floor board. I believe it is coming from the fan motor.

Ifit's the motor, the bearing must be bad in it. Does it make any strange noises?

Just the rumbling from the floor boards, thats it. Does the Bearing cost much, and can I do the fix myself?

Hi:
Don't laugh but I want you to try something. Turn everything on that causes the vibration and place the car in park, with the park brake on. Look under the vehicle where you feel the noise. By any chance is the exhaust hitting the under side of the car? I know if seems crazy, but with the added pressure from the AC, it could happen.

Let me know.
Joe
