Set the e-brake, put the truck in neutral on a lvl surface and see if you can find a sloppy U joint. Pull it up and down, twist them back and forth. No matter how much you harp on them they should not have slop in the joints. The drive line is another story but not the joints. Sounds to me like your carrier bearing or a U joint.

GW99, sure sounds like u-joints to me. Just did mine. They didn't look bad til I dropped the shafts. I thought the vibration was the carrier bearing. Replaced them all, with help from our friends here at FTE and all is good.
