Carrier Bearing
Well, i took the drive shaft down again because i have a horrible vibration under light throttle beginning at 45-70. More fuel and the vibration disappears so i figure ill look at the last u-joint i did not replace. Get it down and there is no binding noises or anything saying it bad there is no play either. So I spun the carrier bearing since it was off the truck neways. It spun like when i had it hanging off the end of a bench it would spin like half way. Its making horrible noises grinding and such. Does this mean its bad? The rubber insulator looks fine but i think the bearing is trashed.

I had an old chebby car that had a carrier bearing, it went out several times. i remember it would shake under throttle, yea kinda like the whole car is comming apart... I believe it is because the drive shaft under load wants to rise up toward the truck, and what you are feeling is the bearing slapping in the race... I am sure someone else will chime in though...

And me as well, I just replaced all three u-joints and the carrier bearing for driveline vibration. Smooth as glass now.
You'll need someone to press the old bearing off. It's on there very securely.
I had to cut the bottom out of my press to accomidate the length of the driveline.

Well i replaced the carrier bearing. The shaking as gotten a little less violent but it diffently still there. The u-joints check out good. I just had the tires rotated and balanced 2300 miles ago. I checked out the front suspension parts all check out good as well. What else should i check.
