Shakes or Wobbles problem
2004 Chevy Silverado V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 160K miles

I have a 2004 Silverado 2wd 5.3L extended cab with 160K miles. It has always run great with very few issues. However, during initial acceleration, I feel a body vibration until I reach about 10 mph. It does not happen at any other time. The vibration is more pronounced when I am towing or have weight in the bed. I am thinking it might be a bad motor mount or u-joint. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Start with checking the tranny tailshaft mount, push up on it, if it is split the tailsaft will move up easily...
