did u check the universal joints? If not, just crawl under the truck, lay on your back, grab the driveshaft with both hands, and try to shake it...If it has any type of play, then u probably need universal joints....the driveshafts shouldnt move at all when shaken if their good. check both if u have 4x4. good luck

Have you checked to make sure you didn't throw a wheel out of balance, or have some hidden mud buildup inside one of your rims?

Im also gona remove the drive shaft and see what I can do about getting new ones pressed in.................... I have a 2005 and the u joints are a pain in the ass!!

I'm with gator. Look to see if any of the wheel weights look like they've popped off.
