Finished with 14 bolt swap...Vibration
Me and some buddies of mine swapped out my 10 bolt for the 9.5" 14 bolt Friday. As it turned out, I ended up needing a bastard u-joint for it to work. For those of you wanting to do this swap, I'll post the part number for it later.
Everything except for needing a different u-joint went smoothly. Now that I have it in, I'm feeling a slight vibration between 50-60mph. I don't think it would be my tires. The only thing I could think of is that there is a balance issue with my driveshaft. Either that, or something's up with this u-joint I used.
Do you guys have any ideas of what could be the issue? I'm glad it's over with. I just hope this isn't the beginning of new problems.

Other than the slight vibration between 50-60, it feels perfect.

I am guessing that the U-joint you needed was a 3R (driveshaft) to 1350 (pinion) adapter joint.
