1996 K1500 with the 9.5" semi-floating 14 Bolt diff.
about 3 weeks ago i had a need to test my reverse lights, but no one to assist me. so i put the e-brake down, and put it into reverse, however i didn't have the pedal pushed down far enough and it moved backwards. i proceeded to push the pedal down all the way untill it stopped rolling so i could get out and check the lights.
after that the truck developed a shudder, starting at 75 km/h going untill 110 km/h (ish) after that speed it seemed to smooth out a little. i needed to go into town so i just ignored it on my way in, and once i was done my buisness in town, i drove home, and the shudder was gone.
well its back.
I believe it has something to do with the brakes, as the drivers side drum barely came off, and there was a very large ridge on the outside edge (furthest towards the diff.) which was blued as if it had over heated.
I turned the drum smooth, and loosened the self adjuster wheel off, however it is still present.
any ideas?
