Vibration when decelerating

I started getting a vibration when I decelerate.I notice it mainly in the floor board,seat and steering wheel. When I accelerate,it stops. I checked the u-joints,they are ok. The truck is an '02 with warn locking hubs,which are in the free position. Could it be a tire problem? I don't get any clunking when I put the trans in reverse,and get no noise or vibration when accelerating. As soon as I take my foot off the pedal,it starts.

How did you check your u-joints? When I changed mine out they were tight when I grabbed ahold of them, but when I took them out they were rusted and the needle bearings were shot.

have you tried throwing it in neutral and coasting to see if it does it.

Yes.I did put it in neutral and I still had the same amount of vibration. I'm also getting a squeeking noise coming from the front right wheel. Could this be related?

Due to where the noise is coming from and where the location of the tranny is, I would make a guess at torque converter.

Im going to say wheel bearing... Jack up the front of your truck, put a pry bar in your rim and see if it has up and down play. If so have a friend move it up and down for you and look behind the wheel and see if the play is at the wheel hub assembly.
