Tight joints don't mean good joints. You need to rock them around feeling for roughness or stiff spots (shaft out of truck). If you didn't replace that joint with something other than actual spicer or ones from the dealer, I don't trust them. I've watched guys blow up Napa, autozone, oreillys shit (even the "highest grade" they offer).

I agree with the first part, but,

Properly installing a joint is 90% of getting one to last.

Sooo nice to see substantial rpm drop on part throttle shifts while unlocked!!! :happy2:

Still no sign of the vibrations I had last week, fingers crossed it stays that way!!!..
It's been along 18 hour day.. And I still got to fix my oil cooler.. Time for food and sleep..

Did you check to see if the front output was engaged? Something in the transfer case could be worn and causing the vibration.

My 4wd has a slight vibration at 65 mph. Not certain if its from the driveshaft, but its there.

Hope the vibration does not come back. I know it was time consuming and its frustrating to chase vibrations when there are no real indications.

What converter did you end up with?

Proper install only goes so far for crappy joints.

Yes, cheap material doesn't help. I've got close to 70k on my AutoZone joints, couldn't get a pair of moogs the day before a trip.

400 there and back is a good trip to check it out. But short enough if it shows up again. (hopefully not)

On part throttle aspects its tighter then Evans TC by ~300.. Even if you add 200rpm for gear differences between 3.73/4.56

I sure hope so.. Honest reality is, truck is 1/3-1/2 the battle.. What I haven't posted on the forums.. (Mainly didnt want it becoming a poor poor me sob story) Is I got a financial mess to dig out off and time isn't on my side on digging out of these holes.. ;(
I've told handful of people they happen to be on the phone and lent a ear when I needed to vent... And it's much appreciated..

All I will say is what I got in 3 engines would've paid the truck off and 1/2 built transmission... Not counting the 12 weeks I was down.. :(
