I have a problem with my truck shaking pretty bad between 50mph-70mph. It feels as if the wheels are out of balance, but I have brand new tires and I've even had them checked to make sure of the balance. I've heard from some people that a drive shaft being just a bit out of balance will do that, but I'm not an expert mechanic or anything, so I don't know about that. I got under the truck about 1 month ago and I noticed a little ring around the drive shaft where it comes out of the transmission that looks like a wear/rub and it was about 1/8" from the little rubber boot. I looked at it again last week and it was about 1/4" or bigger. Does that sound like the bearings or seals are bad around the tranny/drive shaft? If anyone could take some pics of their drive shaft and post them on here for me to be able to compare them, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm hoping to get several pictures of different trucks so I can show it to the dealer and have it at the very least checked out, if not replaced. Thanks guys!
