I posted my vibration story not long ago, but in case you missed it: I
had mild vibration between 68 and 72 mph, and the local dodge boys fixed
it with addition of rather large counter weight on the tail shaft of the
tranny. If I remember correctly, the service mgr told me that previous
full sized dodge pickups had the same vibration problem which
counterweight fixed. It fixed mine.
