Re: Rear driveline vibration

Gentlemen, thank you very much for your inputs! The problem is in the driveshaft and relates to your posts about clocking or phasing adjustment.

Looking from the axle to the t-case I clocked the slip yoke counter clockwise one spline from original position. Did a test run on the jack stands. This slightly worsened the vibration and started it at a lower speed. 47 mph vs 50 mph.

So then I clocked the slip yoke one spline clockwise from original position. Did a run. Vibration much reduced.

Clocked it one more spline clockwise(two splines from original position) and vibration all but gone. Test drive on the highway good.

Visually the shaft is completely out of whack, but at least the truck is drivable.
