Donny,
Driveshaft balancing in SanDiego is around $35.00 + removal (if you dont
bring it in as a shaft) Bring the truck in and its around $60.00. A lot
easier than trying to convince the dealre its a problem!! Good for general
peace of mind too!

Not yet. And mine has 16000 miles on it. Still vibrates VERY badly
above 85mph, almost to the point it scares me....I have gotten to the
point of wondering how much it would cost to have my drafshaft checked
for balance or replaced with a carbon fiber type shaft? Anyone ever
done anything like this? Sounds like what the 99's may have...I am
going to a dealer this weekend and crawl under a new one and check it
out....
