Hi godfroie,

Thank you for the donation.

When does the vibration occurs?
During acceleration only?
After attaining a certain speed?

The driveshaft you mentioned replacing, were they the front CV or the propeller shaft?

The vibration when I am on two wheel drive occurs during acceleration and as the speed increase the virbration get worst, at 60mph the vibration is terrible. When I put it on 4 wheel drive the vibration is not there, except when I slow down from 60 to 50 then there is a little vivration.
I change the rear driveshat. Thank you very much

The symptoms seems to indicate a fault with the propeller shaft.

The most likely cause soule be bad U joints. Get them checked for wear or stiffness.
