Default 00' disco with horrible shaking while accelerating

I have a 2000 disco 2. It started with a small shake while accelerating. Now its horrible. I can't even drive it now it's that bad. It's vibrating any time I'm pressing on the gas pedal. When I let off the gas it smoothes right out but as soon as I give it a little gas it starts shaking again. It doesn't matter what speed I am driving at. I would appreciate any advice I could get on this matter. Thank you

Xheck your front drive shaft near the transfer case. If you have tools lock the cdl and remove the drive shaft and take ot for a spin. If the vibe is gone it is time for a new one.

If it goes out while driving you will likely need a new transmission

Well I'm about 99.9 percent sure you solved my problem. I just got under it to check it out and there is literally a chunk of metal missing from part of the u joint.

And AR ain't joshing, don't use the truck until you've removed the front driveshaft. A one mile drive even could be the most expensive mile you've ever driven when you get the bill for the new tranny plus the new driveshaft etc.

Glad I could help.

Give Justin or Erik a call at Lucky8 LLC (716) 898-8153

They have a really good price on a replacement driveshaft, I have been running one of theirs for 11k miles and have been very happy.
