Yes big time, thought the injectors where going, ended up being the u-joint, were totally gone, i.e. no needle bearings left. A [censored] to replace since Dodge saw fit to put the injection clips to secure the cups, new ones have the c-clips. I just did the driveshaft, need to check the rest this spring. Should have known, my 92 diesel hammered them out every 30,000 miles and they where BIG joints.

Well I'd say start with the tires, check for out of roundness, knots, balance. Then work your way in, bearings, discs, shocks, springs, hangers, anything that could be broken or loose. Pinion bearing nut loose, bent driveshaft, work forward. Put on jacks, have someone spin it to 65-75 mph give it a visual for movement. My buddy's car had a bad vibe, he thought it was an out of balance engine that had recently been built, so I got it off the ground to look, one of the c-clips had come out of the u-joint and driveshaft was flopping around. It felt like a square tire. LOL

These trucks are famous for driveline vibration at highway speed. I worked at the dealer when these trucks were new and saw quite a few with this issue. Most of the time it was the driveshaft itself that was the issue. Could be either front or rear. Mark and Remove the front driveshaft and take it for a short test drive. If the issue is gone, reinstall it and clock both ends of the shaft from the original position. While it’s out inspect the u joints and lube the shaft bearing that no one ever seems to do. Inspect it for slop and binding. Also I see several bent or deformed rear driveshafts after u joint replacement. People usually heat the caps release the plastic that retains the caps, then while they are still hot, beat out the old u joint causing shaft damage.
