A DRY and FROZEN U-joint will cause a vibration. Take the straps off the
back and try to flex the front and rear joint if they are very tight that is
your problem.

> An unbalanced driveshaft would vibrate like no tomorrow, it would feel
worse than a wheel that's out of balance, should shake the whole truck real
good. U-joints usually clunk when you shift from forward to reverse or
vice-versa. A transmission bearing I don't really have a clue about, I'm
guessing it would sqeal and give off some high frequency vibration like a
wheel bearing. What kind of symptons are you seeing/hearing?
