Vibration all 1997-2003
Vibration all 1997-2003 Ford trucks.
Found this out the hard way.
(Guess who has to replace a transmission and transfer case when the piece below goes?)
Shop here in town do driveshafts and said this.
You will get a vibration that you think is a tire or whatever, but it is the Ford drive shafts that have the double u-joints in the front of the drive shafts to the transmission or the rear end. There is what they call a centering device that helps hold the front u-joint and they will wear out and give you a vibration that is hard to find. When they go, they go fast and the above happened to me.

From: Detroit suburb
I also visited a recent driveshaft shop that builds, rebuilds, straightens and balances driveshafts, mine is a 4 wd straight steel driveshaft.
Working on getting mine corrected soon.
They suggested that I put in a new one, as when I cleaned, and painted driveshaft and used grinder and flap wheels, will affect outer diameter of driveshaft so that when they put a runout gauge it will no longer be true ....
They also indicated that bushing inside transfer case is shot probably because of driveshaft out of balance and that needs to be fixed - even if I purchase a NEW driveshaft. Went to Ford and for 2001 they do not sell a bushing that fits in tail housing - you have to buy the entire tail housing of transfer case. I went to bone yard and go one recently - I will start my own thread on this with Pics.
I also found and believe that because of above also have a bad transmission mount that is allowing movement - no longer a rigid mount so rubber mount to steel believe is bad. I have not replaced yet so can confirm after wards ...
Ain't this fun ??

On the truck or on the rebuild of the transmission just before this happened?
The truck in question has over 400,000 miles on it and the transmission as well as the transfer case electric type BA 34-06 warner.
The transmission had about 2,000 miles on the rebuild being a 4r70w when it broke the tail shaft off and the transfer case had over or about 400,000 miles when it went down from the break and the drive shaft was from a 1998 truck.
