Here's hoping! I think you are right about the vibration at speed. Getting the pinion/driveline angles right should fix it.

My new radiator arrived yesterday. I'm switching to all aluminum with a built in trans cooler rather than monkey around anymore with the Cummins trans cooler. Also, FedEx delivered some new rear tires today, so at least all four will be the same size now. I just need a nice day off to install some goodies.

I didn't give it any thought, since I'm sitting on a stock suspension, but I probably need to double check mine, since I moved the engine back 3".
