How hard is it to get the driveshaft out of balance? I think I might have a reason for the vibration. When we had the driveshaft loose, I started the truck while it was in neutral and it bammed and frammed all up under the truck. Had no idea it was going to do that. Anyone think that could be it?

Did you check the angles? Do that first...

$1600 for a fricking gear swap is insane! I ran my 01 and 02 trucks to 13.7s with the factory g80 in them no problems. Only when I upgrade to 3.90 gears in the 02 did I go with the eaton posi. The 8.6" 10-bolts in the trucks are plenty fine....it's the 7.5" 10-bolts in the camaros the break too easy.
