Smoothness test, anyone?

Has anyone heard of a smoothness test? Sounds like a test of engine but I am not sure at all. So I thought I would ask.

I was referring to this in context of cars but am sorry to hear of your personal experience.

Yes.

The solution?

Drink Keystone Light.

Don't believe me?

Find the commercials on YouTube.

Hey KD.....no the dealer has not performed this. I read about this test on another forum and my interest was piqued. In the other forum thread someone recommended this test to determine if engine could be causing vibrations in the cabin. I have been feeling some vibration, at idle speeds, and so thought I would dig in a bit more before I go to the dealer.
