Vibration under power

Hi everyone,
I have spent the last couple hours searching the forums, and I don't really have a clear answer to my problems so I will try my own thread. I have a 1992 Ford e350 Club Wagon with a 7.3l na diesel. I have recently noticed a vibration when on the highway under acceleration. If I am loaded it is worse and it seems to do it at all speeds but it doesn't seem to be right from a dead stop. Even just cruising with a slight grade to the road the vibration will increase. If I let of the pedal and coast up the hill it will dissappear. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Corey

I agree, checking/replacing the u-joints is a good start.

Ok, I climbed under the van tonight and I think I found a serious problem. I can't find any looseness in the u-joints, but I did find a fair bit of play in the output shaft of the transmission. It is a rebuilt e4od with about 30000miles on it. Is there any chance this isn't too serious? Should I stop driving it? Any suggestions would be great - btw, it isn't leaking any fluid out the rear tranny seal and the level is good in the trans.
Thanks
Corey

The output shaft will wiggle some.

To properly check the ujoints the shaft should be removed.
One or more could be rusted and not operating properly.
