Clean your MAF and IAC to maybe help with the idle shaking. I use carb cleaner to clean them and compressed air to blow out both of them. Thats especially important with the MAF to you dont leave an oily coating on the MAF elements.
I agree with AlanD once my shifter is in gear there actually is some play in all directions. Sometimes when mine shakes a little I give the engine a quick rev and it goes away.

Perhaps you guys need a shifter rebuild? Mine would sit mostly still (just normal vibration) when in any gear. After rebuilding my shifter it won't move in any direction in any gear, it locks into each individual gear but will not move side to side afterwords.

Mine only moves say a total of an inch or so in any direction. I forgot about it but I did rebuild the shifter tho 2 years ago. New bushings, screws, cap, rubber vent plugs. Made a world of difference in the feel, tho some play still existed.

but when a carrier goes bad the whole truck vibrates very noticeable when driving and I have nothing like it.
Maybe there's nothing wrong with the shifter, its firm and has a good spring
tension when shifting.
