I have a drive line vibe starting at about 60 MPH. Looked at the u-joints and they look ok. Try to see if there was any play in them and they don't wiggle or anything. I figured it would be the u-joints.

Mike's the man to diagnose that J.

where abouts does it feel like its coming from?
Is there a certain RPM or is it directly speed oriented?
Last time tires rotated?balanced?

How about brakes or wheel bearings?

Keith it is the rear u-joint on the rear drive shaft. I pulled it yesterday and you could feel it was bad once it was off. I read several threads on the cummins forum about the ujoints and how the issue starts with these. Same exact symtpoms as on that site. Driveline vibe starts about 50-60 mph. Nothing when you let off the gas. My first thought was u-joints and that's what it be. The only thing is from the factory they use an epoxy to hold the joint in. Unlike the clips we are all use to seeing. So you have to heat the joint to get all that epoxy to melt out, before you can press out the joint.

Epoxy? That's crazy. Got any pics?

All you can see of it Buck is what looks like really small plastic pins sticking out of the ears. You would have to see it in person.

Here is a thread with a guy bitching about how hard it is. Then some homo replying. He has a picture of him next to his Ram lifted with dubs. Fat white guy. I should put his pick on FAIL blog.
