...Ujoints....
Alright so I crawled underneath my truck and grabbed ahold of the driveshaft and the whole thing started shaking...I think it's my Ujoints but Im going to be honest I don't know alot of the mechanical stuff about my truck and my brother is out of town.

Is anyone close enough that would mind just double checking if thats my prob??

If the drive shaft moves there's no reason to check anything. The u-joints are bad. Hopefully someone can help take it off so you can have them replaced. Terra good luck.

Unless it's a two piece driveshaft - might be the carrier bearing.....

If it were me I would replace it all, both joints and the carrier bearing. This way no need to remove it again.
