That's a good eye. Driveshafts should not shake hauling upgrade loaded. Now you got me thinking.
Shafts riding pretty and all is well do not vibrate or shake like you described. Now if you are in a scale house trying to halt the rotation of the earth trying to make a rusted trailer tandem slide... that shaft is designed to fail in a certain way before you break the rest of the really expensive stuff int he drive train.
please help. loud grinding noise going down the road

The air valve had to be adjustedArkansas Thanks this. -
I am also experiencing the same exact problem described!! It began while driving from Nebraska to Missouri, had the support bearing replaced at loves in St Joseph, drove fine until I got to Florida and over time it came back and now the noise is just unbearable while driving on a flat road, it stops momentarily while going upwards on a small hill or bridge, once I go down it starts again. The engine brake for some reason helps reduce the noise or if I'm idling while driving. Can anyone expert please give me advice on what to do to solve this problem, the company owner is throwing much money in this truck and it's also affecting my work performance and focus, is this the power divider or is it the leveling valve as some say I cause some similar valve was replaced on the left front drive axles and it I don't believe that was the problem and will appreciate an expert response.

My truck is doing same thing. Grinding noise.
But it only does it in 13th gear.
Push clutch in and it don't do it.
You can feel it in the shifter.
Hit a big bump in the road and it really really does it even louder.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -

Same issue. Leveling valve replaced, clutch adjusted twice. Ride height adjusted three times. Still got 15-18 gear knocking loaded around 1450-1600 rpm and hard pull. Down hill and letting off throttle roaring noise like you would in bad ride height.
