Check out rear gear mismatch. Use to be a frequent factory problem with
Jeep Grand Cherokees.

Had the engine checked out - no problems found. The garage suspects
U-joints.
Symptom: vigorous shaking at a rate about equal to as fast as you can
shake your fist up and down 6" or so.
Could a torque converter give this symptom? Happens worst at about
2000rpm in second or about 30 mph.

Aside from tire balance, what else should I check?

See my page for details on the truck
(http://home1.gte.net/nugentmd/dakota.htm) - thanks.
