vibration @ 2k & up

revving the engine in neutral, there is a vibration that starts getting noticeable around 2k rpms. Around 3k the truck is shaking pretty good. As far as I know the injectors have 184k on them, the dmfw has been replaced with a valair smfw awhile back. Its a 94.5 so I cant run a contribution test or buzz test(that I know of). I've had the truck not vibrate before doing the same test.
Ideas?

I was thinking of getting the pcm flashed so I can get OBD2. Then get the scangauge from aeroforce or joey to run some tests.

I have a 94.5 that I used a OBD2 code reader on before. Do you know for sure you need to get the PCM reflashed?

perhaps only running on 7 cylinders? you'd be surprised how well these trucks run on a weak injector or a dead one for that matter

Does anyone make bellowed uppipes for the OBS yet? I think one is seeping, Drv side upper. Leakage just means less boost and less power,correct. Does it effect mileage also?.
