shaking
2008 F250 V-10 auto 140K miles
new tires all checked for balance
new U-joints (X3)
driveshaft balanced one week ago
All was done to alleviate the shake and it didnt work
at 40-45 mph the truck shakes from under the midsection. No shake in the steering wheel I cant figure this out.
Any suggestions?

A fairly common symptom. One major cause is a lack of sufficient grease (blue Ford grease) on the driveshaft slip joint (IIRC it's called the spline gear). A number of posts about this ... just search.

I have searched high and low and this is the first I have heard of this. I thought the d-shaft grease thing was just at take-off. Really good to know. I have 2 dutys that do this so I will try it!

put into tow haul mode and see if the shake speed moves.....if it does.....other possibilities is low transfluid pressure between 3rd and 4th usally cuased by filter needing to be changed and/or the incorrect tranny fluid. if that does not resolve....
if you are able to get pass the normal shake speed by putting it into tow haul mode....it will often move by 8 or 10 mph....and upon reaching the new shake speed you let off and hear metal clanking.....two posibilities....coast clutch has been know to crack at the base of the sleeve and/or ccrack in flex plate.
