Vibration on decelaration

[jdbecker2]

I've been back down in Texas for school for about a month now. When I was driving home tonight, I noticed a vibration when I let off the accelerator, it was gone when at a constant speed or accelerating. In the short time that I could look at it, it didn't seem to matter if the truck was in gear or not or if the clutch was engaged/disengaged. The vibration is more noticeable at higher speeds. Any ideas for me to check out in the morning??



Thanks,

Jake

Universal joints woud be something to check out.

Or a driveshaft that is not balanced.

I hope it's your joints, but.....

I had a bad diff on a ford 8" that did that once. Thought it was the shaft, so removed it and drove around with the front axle. No vibe until I put a rebalanced shaft in. Vibe came back and found cracked saddles inside the diff.

Thank you for all the replies. The joints all seem to be good. Inferno, that's what I was thinking about last night. I took the truck for a short drive around the block today and when turning out of the driveway it almost seemed like it was in 4 wheel drive Does anyone know the size of the bolts to remove the front drive shaft... I knew I should have brought more tools down!!
