my turn...

i've got a slight vibration only while coasting in neutral and only below 30km/hr. it isn't to the point of being problematic, but i'm just curious what it might be.

Odd....of every vehicle I've ever owned, when it had a u-joint issue, it change frequency with vehicle speed.

Well, atleast you found the problem and don't need a u-joint...... yet! Muahahahaha! (Yankin' yo chain, main.)

Actually, if none of the caps have cracked, the seals are still intact, and you keep it grease you'll be fine for a while longer.

Lurching....hmmm. Sounds creepy.... and kinda kooky. Rather mysterious and spooky. But, really..... altogether ooky.

Sticky throttle cable? Symptom goes away after engine gets good and warm?

Oh...that was directed at Sizzlechest, but you could send me your truck, too. My 4rnr will have to stay, though. I need something to compare by, you see.

Have you noticed any loss of power lately? Erratic idle? Did this just start happening with the onset of cold weather?

any changes in idle? or any noticleable differences in the sound of the engine?

im sure you will be fine if you dont hear any loud noises you should be alright, and maybe when it gets worse you will find out what it really is (sometimes it takes a while lol)

In your avatar, are you flashing peace or just saying f@#$ off? In England, that's the sign for....well, f$%^ off! lol! Either way, don't change it..it's perfect. Keep'em guessing.

Have a look at your throttle cable and linkage. If it's sticking, it will cause problems like that.
