Ruff moving

well i dont drive my truck so often but now seemin ike when i hit over 60mph starts to shack real bad unless i gave it gas than it stops and wil start when i let the gas go.

2nd thing put it in reverse clunks same with drive. figure it woud be the U joints so i look down there there all nice and tight but there some play in the cross over about it. someone was telling me there suppose to be alittle play in it so how much play should there realy be. i was thinking of just pullin the drive shaft off and replaing all the u joints and cross over.


any ideas i should do or what im thinking proly be my best bet

I'm almost positive you have a u-joint issue. If the driveline is in a bind or has any pressure on it the joints may "feel" tight.
