Hey thanks a lot. I had the same problem, no vibration threw the
steering wheel, but the whole floor and seats would start vibrating, it
cost me $45 to have it balanced and it would have been an extra $25 if
the shop would have balanced it. Not to much money, better then going
through a rear seal on the trans and being without your Dak for awhile.

     Chris, what did it cost you (approx) to get the driveshaft
balanced, and would it be worth my while to go bitch at the dealer to
balance it even thought it is above "legal" speed? I noticed the
vibration most right at my feet when I hit 80, but could feel the whole
truck vibrate, this the same with yours? Thanks for the info, I really
appreciate it. And, your system looks great, I like how you mounted the
tweeters in the club cab, it looks damn good.

Thanks
