Default Vibration

Im having an issue with 05 scab 4X4. At around 45 to 55 mph there is a slight vibration. I had the tires rotated and balanced about a week ago and I can still feel it. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. If so please advise.

Driveline vibration? Have the balance checked or swap with a known good one.

Guys I appreciate your help but I dont think any of these ideas are my problem. When my tires were rotated they were computor balanced by a reputable tire service center who I use often. The alignment was also set. I have also experienced wore out u joints and know for fact this is not the problem because i have checked them myself.If anyone else has any ideas please let me know. I dont want to take this to a dealer but I may have no choice.

How did you check your U joints? Does it do it while coasting or just under power. I would double check the Ujoints. While it may not have any movement it may be siezed.

I have a vibration from 45 to 55 mph. I shifted into neutral at 50mph and the vibration is still there. U-joint does not have any noticeable slop. Truck only has 3k miles on it. Any ideas? I am taking it to the dealer this week.
