I have a slight viburation. When I release the clutch it goes away. I have had the clutch replaced. There is a little play where the driveline goes into the trans.
help.

I find it hard to believe that a clutch was needed on this truck. They can go over 150,000 miles.

I would check the front and rear u-joint. Primarily the rear. Have you heard a chirp or squeak when moving slowly at all? Look for a rusty look around the caps of the u-joint.

I have checked the u joints and they seem to be ok.
The clutch was changed because the pressure plate would squeek quit loud when depressed. Thanks again.

Is there a bearing by the rear seal? There is a little play at that point.
