so is it coming from the front or rear?

if its coming from the rear, i would say check your pinion angle. your rear end may need shims to fix your pinion angle.

i would suspect that is it with the things you have done already.

your pinion needs to be at the same angle as your t-case output shaft if you do not have a sye. in theory this makes the angles cancel eachother out and you should have no vibrations. if you do use shims to correct this, use metal shims and not alum ones. they just break.


when you do have a sye, the pinion needs to be pointed at the t-case.
