Default driveshaft problem

New ujoint front/rear, rebalance DS on 2006 silveradp reg cab. I still feel vibration when high speed only. When you go 80-90 start vibration. It getting frustrating. I went back to driveshaft shop. Gave them ride says wheels issues, transmission mount?/ I rebalance wheels most .75-1.00 weights on all wheels. Replace new trans mount. I did swapped 60e to 80e. Still doing that. So they rebalance shaft it look good. I don't understand why! Shaft is stock I only changed 4l60e to 4l80e yoke fit on stock steel shaft. Yoke itself size is 5.563 inch length. Any idea how to solve the problem for high speed vibration.

what kind ds alum? or stick with steel. I may call dennys driveshaft.
But I checked trans tail housing to yoke a little playing. Maybe bad bushing inside tail housing. May caused vibration?

There's nothing special to making a driveshaft.

5" Al or 3.5" steel with spicer solid 1350 ujoints and billet yokes for big power

Ironic thread. I was measuring up for a new driveshaft from Denny's. That explains the discrepancies on their forms.
