To check to see if your drive shaft is 180 out, simply take it off, rotate it 180, re-install, and recheck for vibration. There might also be a chance that one of the weights might have gotten slung off the drive shaft. A drive shaft shop can check and re-balance if necessary.

As I said before there is movement between the slip yoke splines. In a twisting motion back and forth not side to side as much as i can tell The drive shaft is easily removable and easy to slide back on. I would think that the non coated slip yoke would wear before the coated splines. A few have said there's was difficult to remove and install.

Apologize for the NOOB question, but whatsthis "slip yoke" your referring to...
Any concellation, when i removed the my tranny (6sp 2wd), the driveline with bolts removed, just fell to the floor. Fighting same thing bud, but mines a "howling" sound between 1200-1800rpms.

Are you saying you only removed the front half of the rear driveshaft? If so, I would pull the whole thing out and see if the vibration is still there.

Grease?
What kind of grease is used on the slip joint? I don't have a vibration problem but I do have the clunk.
I have a number of different types of grease but am far from any sourse for the Ford blue stuff what ever that is.

OK guys! I finally got a phone call back from Republic Diesel. They are sayin that the Slip splines and slip yoke are worn which I knew. But also all of the Yoke Eylets that the Caps press into. They say that I need to have a complete Drive Shaft assembly Built Which is going to run $715.00. I have found a local dealer to purchase a new shaft at the cost of $690.52 and or one from the internet best yet found with out shipping $565.43
I have tried to find the dealer that everyone refers to on here to buy parts from but can not find! Help if there is any info for a new Shaft.

Of all the drive line vibration threads I've seen, this is the first time I've seen the issue continue this long. Personally, I would get the drive shaft balance checked and corrected if necessary as a first and more cost-conservative effort.

Tousley Ford's web site link >>> Tousley Ford Parts Depot
Call them ans ask to speak with Mike R. He runs the web site sales and can make sure to confirm that the web site prices/part numbers are verified as accurate. Apparently, the web site parts data is entered and managed by a third party, and the numbers are sometimes not quite exactly correct, but Mike can make sure that you get what you need.
