    I'm not sure how that's supposed to be set up but if the driveshift is out of phase definitely.

    And if the driveshaft is out of the balance that also.

    Jee, your explanation is out of this world, no info at all, just shaking. What gears, what speed, idle..? Check your ujoints first if this is a speed related..

    sorry sometimes my brain gets a little wacky from all the vibration.

    typically gear 6-10
    Seems most of the shaking is around 45-65
    Idle is good

    Like I've mentioned, check u joints first. Seams like there is a bad one. If you step on gas, it gets worst? If so, first one to check is on transmission.

    Check engine lights coming on? Did you try getting a stored (yellow light) flash code?

    I don’t think so. I notice that on mine. I thought the shop welded my new yoke on wrong. Guess not. No vibration. What they might have done is forgot to mark the driveshaft. Might want to try taking it off at the front axle yoke and reinstall it 180 degrees.

    A Freightshaker shaking? What's the issue,,:biggrin_2559:, okay, sorry, it's just years ago, you tell a boss that, they'd laugh you out of the office. Vibration under acceleration, is almost always the driveline. If it didn't vibrate before the carrier bearing, a 180 off driveshaft could cause that, but more than likely a bad u-joint. How old is the harmonic balancer?

    I think that’s either the turbo boost sensor, or TTS sensor (I think that’s what it’s called, for idling/timing) throwing the check engine. Also when I put the jakes on high it’ll throw the light, but on low it won’t

    Will do that today. Is it possible that a hard acceleration could’ve made the teeth slip out of position? The truck is 600hp and skip the tires easy if I’m empty
