Good evening.

From your description, it sounds like you have a bad universal joint in the drive shaft and that would cause the vibration.

1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Mark position of shaft in relation to pinion flange for reassembly.
3. Remove straps securing universal joint to pinion flange, then disconnect shaft from flange. Tape bearing cups to universal joint to prevent loss of needle bearings.
4. Slide yoke out of transmission and remove propeller shaft. Insert suitable plug in transmission to prevent fluid loss.
5. Reverse procedure to install.
