Vibration thru whole vehicle @ 2900RPM

Have you checked the engine mounts??

Cheers Kev

Could be the harmonic balancer,
Dont know just a thought

Don't worry, it's a characteristic of that vehicle! If you search on Pradopoint, you'll find an old thread about it. There are various theories, people have changed exhausts etc but as far as I'm aware, there isn't one single thing to fix it.

Mine had 140,000km when I bought it, now over 230,000km. Still vibrates, hasn't got worse, in fact I barely notice it there now but was obviously aware of it when I first drove it. It certainly doesn't vibrate the whole vehicle!

Cheers,

I've heard complaints about the earlier v6 commodores having a vibration, apparently it couldn't be corrected.
And even the early v6 ford capris i think did the same, that was a major reason why they never made v6s back then.
Anyway, i could be wrong.

My 2001 3.4ltr Prado has a vibration that comes in around 1800-2000rpm and again 2800-2900 , the later vibration is very. As stated previously its a well known characteristic of this motor and there appears to be no easy fix. I even changed the engine mounts , it made no difference so I now have a spare set of mounts.
Like everyone else you will have to try and ignore it, BUT, if you find a solution please lets us know.
