Which yoke is hot the one at the transmission or the rear end. The vibration could be in the rear end. Don't take it for sure just a thought.

Yes that area is probably going to be hot like 69hemibeep said. When you put the universal bearings in did you keep every thing the same. I always mark the yoke's to make sure they go back the way they came off. It might not make a difference but that is what I do. Good luck finding the vibration they can be hard to locate. :thumbsup:

So where do you feel the vibration when your driving. May be a bad tire or wheel bearing. Just asking. Also do you here a sound of some sort. Do you have manual or auto transmission. Russ.

I would also check motor mount's. Might not be broken but has wear on it. Like Bob say's transmission hanger also. :kartman: It is always something.
