Ok, I have to admit, I haven't gone through all the posts regarding the vibration issue, though over this weekend, I will. I just got back from New Orleans, and trying to catch up here at work...

I did see on post 160 you mention there .038 run out at the shaft, and that's enough to cause a vibration I believe. You say the rear is pretty fresh? You've double checked the pinion and carrier bearings? Figured you have, but asked anyway!

I went through a little chase-my-tail initially with my vibration issue, since the pinion yoke took out a u-joint, replaced that, took out a tailshaft bushing, replaced that, and also took out a pinion bearing. By this time I had to replace the u-joint again. Maybe you're just suffering a little of the same karma, have to do it all at once or something? Just taking a stab, and sure at some point the light will come on and you'll go "Oh yeah!" and knock it out.

I'm curious, let me know when you do figure it out, will make a mental post-it note. If something comes to mind over the weekend after going through all the posts, I'll post any ideas.
