[QUOTE="Michael_D, post: 27144, member: 9518"] We've had our '25 Eq. ( EEK! )for Six months now. Finally reached 1,500 mi. Yes/no, we don't drive much. We do enjoy it. After Driving over Two Million miles in several of those 80,000 Lb. Big Rigs, it doesn't take much to please us. I did hear the most unusual noise/vibrations the other day. I backed out of a parking place, started forward, there it was. To me, it sounded and felt something like a cross between a high speed flat tire and a "HUEY" (military helicopter) about a half mile away, that had just came over a tree line. Or, Maybe, like when going over some of those ribs that are put on the roadway to wake you up.........Whisky-Tango-Foxtrot on that! My first thought was that it was that "Engineering Wonder" of a modified Snow-Mobile Drive + gears transmission. Not likely, but it could be. There is a couple things that I would like for several people to try, then get back to the Forum on their thoughts after trying. One is: When this occurs, press the "recirculate" air button wait a few seconds. see if that makes a difference. Two is: Press the recirculate button (doesn't matter if it's on or off, just change it) then press up on the roof near the center as possible. See if that makes a difference. Three is: This if it does it a little more than seldom, operate the electric parking brake a couple times a week. ( just on then off ) See if that makes a difference. Four is: When this occurs, and you are traveling at a modest speed (slow), hold the accelerator steady, and lightly press the brake pedal. This should do nothing but slow you down a touch. If any of those things make a difference..... Then I know EXACTLY ! what it is. Good Luck. Be Safe. Be Aware. Remember, it takes 300 miles for 5mph to make a difference of less than 20 minuets.
