It is significantly reduced when the driveshaft is loaded, either accelerating or decelerating. When I'm cruising and feathering the throttle to maintain a constant speed is when it's the worst. Most of the time above 55-60 though I have a light rhythmic vib.
After looking at a buddies trucks (3) and seeing how much his slip yoke was sticking out of the trans tailshaft (about 5/8" - 3/4") I'm pretty sure that mine is either bottoming out or close to it. I don't have any stickout whatsoever. I took it back over to the driveshaft shop to get shortened about 5/8" and have a brand new slip yoke put on it just to be sure that isn't the problem.
Cdowns, will it bottom out on the inside or the outside of the slip yoke? And just out of curiousity are there any shims or washers in between where the shafts bolt together?
