Vibration issues
Well I have a vibration problem when accelerating from either a stop position or while going down the road. 2003 with 140k, don’t hear any noise at all and no vibration when letting of the gas. Front drive shaft most likely ?
and is there a cal nipple on the tcase to switch it so I can remove the drive shaft ? And or to at least bypass it to see if it changes when accelerating ?
thanks

Are you familiar with the driveshaft service history? If not, probably just worth replacing it as a precaution, especially if you're going to pull it anyway. I think I paid around $150 for a new one from Lucky8 - that'll get the job done as long as you're not lifted, and it's a lot cheaper than a new transmission.
Other thing to check would be the rotoflex (where the transfer case mounts to the rear driveshaft) - the rubber parts can rot and crack.
Easiest and fastest option would definitely be to just swap the whole part. You can probably save some money by replacing the u-joints yourself but that'll take time and you won't know whether it's balanced when you're done.

Try giving them a call tomorrow - I’m in Boston and have usually received my orders within about 2 days, since they ship from upstate New York. They may be able to give you a better price over the phone as well.
