out of the blue? it was fine until last friday.
pinon angle and slip yolk distances are fine. ive had this thing full flexed and have had no ploblems.
the vibe started last friday and only happens just above 25 under medium throttle and dissappears on deccel
could a ring and pinion problem cause a driveline vibe? im wondering...
its probably u-joints...havent done em yet

I had the same problem with my Jeep. It ended up being my u-joints. I had to change the rear one on the driveshaft and the 2 front ones at the wheels. I got it today actually.

I had this problem on another vehicle, out of the blue.
Turned out that I had slung a wheel weight from the inner bead of the rim.
Drove me nuts tracking it down.

It is also possible to throw a balance weight off the driveshaft. Check visually - if you see a spot about an inch square where something USED to be...that might be it.

Man I cant stand it.. I thought my idle was low.. so i put in brand new Injectors for my 2001.. Still VIBES like mad in drive sitting at a light.. Low level in park.. Feels like a nasty raddle .. the whole car vibes out.. I cant stand it.. I hit the gas and the thing JUMPS runs great with brand new injectors.. I thought the idle was low and bounces a bit.. I also get a clunk like sound when I engage letting off the brake only sometimes.. like its slipping in.. HELP!

Mine must be a vacume issue??? I cant stand it.. idles at 700RPM jumpy a bit.. Brand new injectors put in today and no change to Vibe or Low Idle.. I changed plugs, and since its a 2001 the Coil Pack.. there is no distributor or wires on this truck. I ran Seafoam through it two times.. manually cleaned the throttle body..
Was going to do IAC and MAP next but Im not so sure it the Fing IDLE! The vibe is sitting in drive at a stop.. In IDle it vibe a little bit.. Idles Jumpy even with brand new injectors..
I wonder if Idle is low or now its a balanced drive shaft? Im cluless.. cant stand it..
I had mounts checked they are fine.. 177K on the truck.. MF!!!
