Guess what got rid of my driveline vibes.

GREASE!!!!!!!

That's right grease was all it took. I pulled the driveshaft off to locate what was loose. When I put the driveshaft back on I lathered the outputshaft and slipyoke in grease put everything back toghether. I took it to pick up dinner and the vibes were gone. I hope it stays that way.

Bull Butter!!!

You mean you are admitting that you pulled the shaft to find what was wrong BEFORE you greased all the joints!!

We all do things like this from time to time, but we do not admit them

don't you wish all issues could be fixed cheaply like this!!

I agree, but I have found alot of folks with bad vibes after a lift just because of dry/worn u-joints. Most just attribute it to bad angles right off the bat. Replace the u-joints and bam! better. I guess the same could be true of a slip yoke...
of course neither of these by no means should be used as a coverup for bad operating angles.

I have a brand new CV driveshaft, with brand new u-joints, so I don't think anything is worn out yet. my pinion angle is 0 and coming off the output shaft it's 2-3 degrees. I know a cv and a slip yoke is frowned upon, but I have a 242 and heard horrible things about h&t's and don't want to take my transfer case apart to put a new output shaft in. I figured a cv was a better option, I only have 3-4 of lift so nothing crazy and I don't plan on going any higher.
