TSB 09-6-1
I had this TSB done at approximately 35,000 miles. Cured the downshift squawk problem. I've started to notice this same sound again at 55,000 miles. It's only going to get more pronounced and will only increase in frequency. My concern is I won't be able to replicate it for the dealer before the 60K waranty is up. Has anyone had to have this TSB worked on twice?

I am also worried they will go out again in another 30K miles. I would bring that up and see if they will warranty it then. It's not right.

Also, I had taken mine in for a ticking/marble sound on start up. Turned out to be the timing chain tensioners/gaskets, etc. Got a oil change and radiator flush because of that work.

Dropped the truck off this morning - mentioned TSB and second time this has happened. Service manager confirmed worked for transmission will be covered along with a front axle leak. Didn't need to test drive it with mechanic. I haven't brought up warranty coverage anticipating the next time it happens.
I've got to wonder if it's worth keeping the truck knowing it will probably happen again, every 25-30k miles. I've also had some issues with high speed vibration, 75-80. Seems to be transient, varying with road conditions, geometry and speed. It always happens on curves. Michelin LTX MS2 tires, balanced twice, not road force balanced.
At least my transmission fluid will be changed again.

Actually it's both, although it seems more noticeable in the rear. I notice the wheel nibble earlier and the rear becomes more pronounced later. On curves the rear vibration becomes significant. Tires have approximately 20k on them. They are slightly wider, P265/70-18, than the OEM tires. I have never had a problem with Michelin tires, although I'm sure it could happen. When I had the OEM Pirelli's on, the truck didn't vibrate.
I read somewhere, in another post, about vibration troubleshooting the rear end and drive shaft. I'm not sure if I need to go down that path.
