    2016 double cab sr5, I hit a train track I've ran over a million times in my life, which is always butter smooth, and for some reason it felt like I smacked a pot hole. My A/C started making a weird noise, which turned to a sound as if I was playing bass out of my speakers. That, and the entire dash, steering wheel, and pedals vibrate when the A/C (or heat) is on, and it is barely noticeable on setting 1, but gets progressively worse and louder on higher settings. Both A/C and heat blow fine.

    Has anyone had this issue, and how was it remedied? My local dealer is a pain in the ass to deal with and always seems to be attempting to screw you over when presented an opportunity so I'd rather not have them finesse me. Thanks!

    Edit: This hit was not very heavy in comparison to some of the hefty love taps this truck has absorbed as a hunting rig through fields/being used on a farm and driving in shitty illinois roads.

    Hmmm...have you dropped your blower motor and checked it. A leaf or debris can make for an awful vibration felt in the cab. I've had cheap ones that were not balanced and made vibrations
