Hey fellas, it was the u-joints. Vibration is gone.

I now have a problem...the truck shop who did the u-joints today might have gave me one that was too large. The rear one that connects to the pinion was a MOTHR *&^%$# to tighten down and the straps don't lay flat. They are arched. It didn't want to go in the recess on the pinion. It seemed to be about .050 too large. the others were perfect. There are 3 on the shaft. Have you guys heard of this type of u-joint. It fit the shaft but not the pinion?????

Thanks for all your advice fellas. It sure helped out alot.
