Mine shakes at 42-46mph and it is more noticable when I have new tires.

Do a search using 40mph shake or vibration and look at all the problems. I think mine has maybe gotten worse with time, but, since my tires are close to worn out, I barely notice. Like I said earlier, I really notice it with new tires. I see where you just put tires on a while back. Let me know it you find the cure.

i sure will let you know, i thought the cure for this was to shim the drive shaft support bearing down a 1/4 at a time, but it seems this is only true if you have the shake on acceleration, which i dont. i am gonna keep trying to solve this problem, i got one u joint replaced not too long ago, it was the one by the rear diff, and i have one more extra u joint for the one by the spline that i greased this mornng, maybe i will try and change that out, allthough the guys told me it was fine.

I just remembered something about rotating the drive shaft half a turn to see if that eliminates the vibration. Anyone else ever hear of that? Hmm....maybe your's is out of balance. That would do it too.
