Stephen after driving are any one (or more) of the wheels hotter than the other, Caliper stuck. Axle joints, u-joints and wheel bearings are another place for vibration as well as inspect the tires for damage and wear. Other than that it needs to be in the air and start pounding, shacking and moving things that should or shouldn't!.

The vibration is coming from the rear and only under acceleration. Tires and front brakes, calipers are all a little over 1 year old. I could not change the trans filter because you have to drop the exhaust cross over pipe and I could not get it with loose with the tools I have at the house. I will be bringing my impact wrench from work. I looked at the u-joints and they have no play. I had to run to town and get some fencing because a huge racoon ate 6 of my wifes chickens over the past 2 days. Did not get the oil from amazon till late this afternoon for the Maserati so I will change it in the morning. I did fix the throttle linkage on the ford tractor and finished mowing the rest of the property. Thinking of buying a 2002 F150 from my buddy at work. Not the most beautiful truck but it has a fresh rebuilt front end and a new transmission. 70 thousand on the engine. I did manage to get the mom in laws oil changed.

Dose it have a two piece drive shaft? If so check the carrier bearing. Look for thrown weights in drive shaft. Set you dial indicator up and make sure the drive shaft is still round.

I am leaning more and more towards the diff but it does not wine or leak. We drive the truck a lot, I drive it an hour and a half to work everyday and then we drive it on the weekends too. It only 80 bucks to get a used one for a pull a part. Might be worth it to pull one, go thru it and put it in the truck. One piece drive shaft. I am going to jack it up and check all the bushings.
On a side note I found and applied for a Class A motorhome mechanic for a local employer.

I got the oil changed in the Maserati and did some work on the wife's chicken pens. I was not in a big rush yesterday. Working 10 hour days again this week and I know will be exhausted by Friday.

Good evening Georgia, Hunter, Stephen and hope everyone had a great weekend. I did the chicken pen/roost thing a few weeks ago and still have to fix a stall door before winter for the goat pen.

I am going to fire up the 745D this morning that I just replaced all the hydraulic hoses and pipes that got ripped off when the driveshaft let go. I had to pull the tires yesterday to install the wheel speed sensors.Fun Fun.

I am beginning to think the vibration is a bad u-joint.
I had a job interview at a new John Deere tractor dealership they are opening in Rome, about 20 minutes from the house! It went extremely well and he gave me paperwork to fill out and email back to him.

Good evening Hugh, Sorry I botched the name and after reading my post "Hunter" was not what I intended to type. Mr. Turner" is what I intended based on the handle and I totally missed your name by the picture!
It didn't help that I was about 2 cold adult beverages on top of not being the smartest fish in the sea!
Stephen Best wishes on the job prospect and U joints can cause vibration.
