engine speed related vibrations
i could feel a vibration on my cummins isx 500 @ 1300-1450 rpm (978K miles). i know it's not my drivetrain. i would put it in neutral and rev it up to around 1300-1450 and could feel the vibration, kind of like when the driveshaft needs balancing.
anyone know what the cause could be? any advice would greatly be appreciated....

I second the harmonic balancer... I replaced mine from Pittsburg diesel. Check out their website and scroll halfway down for it.

Yes, definately get that balancer checked out. You could end up with a busted crankshaft and thats some MAJOR bucks.

I experienced this on my way from Chicago to Cincinnati today at around 70 mph, I'll check that out, although my mileage is alot lower then his.
