Default picking up vibrations, unfortunatly not sweet ones.

riiight...

anywho, anywhere upward of about 35-45 mph, the truck vibrates and if the whels are off balance, but when i lift off the throttle it smoothes out. i got the tires balanced last week anyway, but was still acting up. for whatever its worth, my rear shocks are pretty much shot. probably getting new ones tomorrow.

i think it started around easter when i took my dad brother and grandpa to the dunes and was on and off the diff lock a bit, maybe after, i cant remember. maybe ill play around with that a little bit tomorrow also.

thanks in advance.

Sounds like it is drive shaft related-Acts up when under torque and lets up when acceleration (and stress) taken off. I would look at the u-joints and couplings for play, as well as the rubber coupler at the rear diff.

Bene,

If you let up on the throttle and it goes away , it's most likely not A drive train issue. Look for A engine misfire condition.
