-multiple sets of tires and different set of rims
-harmonic balancer

Nothing has stopped it. It got much worse after the trans swap from flexing the motor mounts. Just finished changing them, and the vibration is back to when I bought it level of annoying. WTF??? What else can I check???
Vibration isn't there once the truck is moving. Its only when starting off from a stop. It isn't there once the rpm's are over 1500 in 1st either. Its almost like running over a rumble strip. I'm lost.
One piece or two piece driveshaft?

What does your rear axle u joint working angle measure?
