Rumble

[Dean The ResourcefulNorse]

I have a "rumble" in my coach going down the road that increases/decreases
with speed. Since I had no road experience with the coach prior to putting
on new Transforce tires, has anyone else detected tire noise from that
brand? I may need to look beyond tires. The noise is not much but
discernible to my 'pilot' trained hearing.

least a 1.000 miles since operational and on new tires.

Hello Dean,
No, I have Transforce and do not hear any strange noises.
Regards,
Bill

I have run nothing but Transforce both 8.75 and 225 and have never noticed a rumble.

Did you tray a "sashay" to see if it is greater on one side than the other?

I am thinking that sounds more like a bearing or loose final drive
fasteners on the driver side of the coach. I would take it for a drive at
road speed, then use your instant read infra-red thermometer to check for
a hot bearing or cv joint. If you do not have one, Harbour freight has them
for $20.00 or less on sale.

I just turn off my hearing aid in my one operational ear and the sound disappears.

Hey, Ken,

It's been too long since we've talked -- I'm really glad to hear you
finally got a hearing aid for that operational ear! The one I've had for
my one for 5 years or so still spends 99+% of its time in the case -- SHE's
learned to stay on my right side and repeat everything at least twice.
Give Laurie a hug for me!

Hi Ken. Well my hearing has got steadily worse. I have not been able to train Laurie which side is good and which ear is dead. I also have not
been able to train her to stand withing 6 feet and face me when she talks. I repeat the same message several times a day but it does not help. So
goes life.

Lauri probably won't take the 30 years it's taken HER to sorta catch on.
