Tranny need rebuilt?
Well I noticed what I get vibrations (Like the other guy, but mines a auto) around 38mph and up if I just cruise, or lightly accelerate, if I get on it, things go well. And I can lock up the torque convertor, and that doesnt help, so whats my problem? Should I rebuild my tranny? If so whats the best to get. I know people sware by Racer X's valve body, but what about internals? truck has 278,XXX miles, and all that has been done to the drivetrain is a new flex plate. So let me know guys, Thanks in advance.

dont jump the gun yet there sparky, do youhave a single cab or extended cab ect? the mid way bearing go a good amount of time causing just that and a noise, if not then check ALL ujoints in the truck including the joint going into axel(name escapes me). start there, but if your looking to build a tranny and drop 3g then go ahead lol

Mine does that in the high 30 MPH range, and has done it for the 50K miles I have owned it.
The ECM puts the transmission into OD too soon. It's lugging... hit the button to downshift into drive and see if it goes away.
