Trying to track down a vibration, sometimes more like a growl, real seat of the pants thing between 50 and 70 mph. It was there prior to putting in a lucky8 rear shaft kit, did the front shaft a few years ago. checked the diff and xbox for oil, ok. I saw a reference here somewhere about the orientation of the yokes on the prop shafts as a possible cause? anything else? Tires are old and scalloped on the inner edges, but the vibe feels much more mechanical than tires.

Just did a lucky 8 shaft change last week to eliminate the rotoflex, which I did some 6 years ago. had the vibe before and still got it, maybe worse. I've got the front shaft out, it seems fine. going to lock the cdl and take it for a drive.

I threw my front driveshaft angles all off with my lift so I'm working on diagnosing the same problem, I'll keep you posted if I find a solution

Took out the front prop shaft (which was rebuilt about 6 years ago), vibration gone. Running with the CDL locked until I can have the shaft looked at by someone better at this than me. Anyone know a driveline shop near Allentown PA?
