    Apparently mine were duds. Had to take a little siesta but we are off like a herd of turtles again.

    I may have to try that too. I did notice this morning that I can barely feel it empty trailer and before I couldn't feel it empty. I'm not sold that it's not a bearing in the rear ends somewhere but the only time I've had a rear let go there was no sign that I felt. It went from no problem before I loaded to making a heckuva racket after I got loaded.

    It's a shake, not a vibration, a definite shake. 8 new drives changed the speed in which it does it.

    Shafts are in time yes, unless one is very bent or out of balance I can't find anything visually wrong with them.

    Mine smoothed out when loaded, since yours is opposite, maybe try raising it a little. Check what the specs are from center of rear axle to bottom of frame rail.

    Exactly. Just get the things I need and piece together the solution.

    Like these?

    I forget the number but it is what it's supposed to be. One of the first things we checked. May have to mess with it and see what it does.

    Yeah I'd try raising it a ½" and see what it does. Too far and you risk binding up the pinions.
