How u doing Ken!!
OK!!, So how's the best way to find out if the rims are straight??
please, don't tell me to lift the back of the truck and to put in gear and
have someone looking from behind to see if the wheels are spinning even???
what's my second choice???

This is something to think???
why when I'm on the freeway going about 70-75 mph, and then ahead the road starts
to turn and when I start turning the steering wheel just a bit to follow the road
the vibration gets worst?? hummmmmmmmmmmm??????
but I don't feel it on the steering, and I soonest that I turn it back straight the
vibration it's less, it's there but not as bad when I moved the wheel????
and always comes from behind or under the car I can feel it under the seat.
I wish some other drivers can see if my rear wheel it's wabbling, and get my attention
yeah right!! in Los Angeles, you can lose all wheels and no one will tell you sh.t!! LOL

next best thing is to take the truck to a shop and have them look at the rims.

Hey!! I can't think of anyone right now that wants to follow me behind on
the freeway, or
if I drive fast enough maybe I can get follow bythe highway patrol
If I take it to the shop do they take the wheels off and put them on the
balancer spining machine?? maybe when it's turning you can tell how bad
the rim is??, one time the shop told me if the rim needs to big of a weight
the rim it's bad ?? I don't know how true is it...

Yeah!!
I think you're talking a gauging tool, it's a micrometer gauge that mounts on stand
with a magnet, it's a very known tool for machine shop, it will be very hard to hold
it against the rim cuz of the aluminum (non magnet), I guess my best choice is
a tire shop, the balancer machine will tell how bad is the rim, if it calls for a very
large weight, I'm pure guess??

Had a similar situation. Mine was more of a 'thump' at times but was intermittant. Mine's a '94 extended cab 4x4. Clean, inspect and lube the slip yoke splines on the rear shaft. Also.. and this was the problem on mine.. the rear shaft's carrier bearing was good, but the rubber damper around the bearing was sloppy. For now, I pumped some RTV in around the voids in the rubber to tighten it up. Ordering a new carrier.

Hey its been a while since posting......
But I was just passing through...and i noticed you guys where decribing a Dial Indicator on a post style mount, but if its somthing you want jus to trouble-shoot this situation with; i'd take it to a wheel alignment shop to have them look it over. The avg. price of a "Good" Dial Indicator set-up would prolly be considerably more than what the shop would want. (my D-I setup was 450$$)
