Re: Colt issues
Is it a vibration or humming sound?

Wheel balancing?
Maybe one of the weights fell off.

Re: Colt issues
Might even be something as simple as resonance being set up by the tyres. Try cross-rotating them.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Colt issues
My guess is that the prop shaft is not balanced properly.
Had similar problems in the past with unbalanced prop shaft.
