ok the wood hit the rear side of the drive shaft, after driving it for a couple of days I went to get up on the freeway and noticed smoke coming from behind me, I let off thinking it was the motor and went wot again and it was comming from under the truck, so I pulled over and noticed trans fluid comming from tail shaft just thought it was rear seal at first then the brake light, abs light started to flash and then vibration got bad, pulled over and called wrecker, after getting it to dealer they told me drive shaft had a dent in it and tail housing bearing was shot, so they fixed the trans part and I had a drive shaft built, now the vibration is still there, so this brings me to believe the rearend is culpret.

but will take any advise I can get hahhaa

well it could be like said earlier going to take it to rearend shop and let them look at it, if not then the tires will be rotated and ballanced at Discount tire, I can only hope the driveshaft company that built the driveshaft balanced it right. I'm at there mercy.

no joke but if they didnt do the job right in the first place its their fault. Just like if u were to bring it back to Discount after the vibration.. we are obligated to pull ur truck right in and do it over again. Pain in the *** but sure. Just hope alls well and u find out what it is and its not too expensive
