Yeah, I definitely keep it in this power band anytime I'm cruising or the engine is under load. I never load up the engine at 1500.
I didn't explain it very well--this is the steering wheel resonating and shaking up and down (as in 1/2" up and down) ANYTIME the RPM cross over 1500. As in, blip the throttle at a stoplight, steering wheel goes crazy. Take off and accelerating, as you go through this RPM, again steering wheel goes crazy. Once I'm up and cruising in the powerband, 2500-3000, no problems at all.
It's not a big deal but I worry about the fatigue on the steering column, and it just looks really goofy to the passenger (it's quite visible).
