Steering vibration

When i go to take off from any stopped position i get a vibration thats not very violent but its not normal. And it only does it if your on the gas just right. If i stomp the pedal, its normal or if i drive like some old man, its fine but its if i get on it just a little bit and only in 1st and 2nd gears. When im on the highway it drives just normal. I dont think ball joints but im going to get under it tonight and make sure everything is tight. Could it be differential fluid i the rear?

And you're not feeling it in your seat, just the steering? 'Cause I know there was a TSB on driveline vibration...

I feel it on my seat. Its kind of strange because ist does seem like a drive shaft problem. When i accelerate it doesent buck or anything just kinda tickles ur rear end in the seat.

There was just a thread on this just within the past week or so -- I think Josh even was messing around with his. It had to do with changing, reversing, etc. the rear spacer blocks between the spring pack and axle -- at least I think that was what it talked about. Let me see if I can find the thread and I'll edit this post and link to it...

On edit: it might not apply to your year as it looks like it was on '05+, but here's the link if you want to check out the thread:

Brandon, 2wd or 4x the center yoke will make the truck feel like its falling apart, Scott Hows the truck, did they take the big bad wolf out yet, I want to take a swing at it too or we can just take it and put some real holes in it
