Lets see if anyone can help out....
Vehicle:2000 chevy silverado
Problem: vibration between 45-70mph though the whole truck.
Not too long ago,i had to rebuild my tranny. Upon taking it out, the adaptor which bolts to the end of the tranny had cracked & broken on the top right sides. The mechanic who re did my tranny said he had the same prob & had checked, THEN REPLACED his driveshaft. Before the tranny rebuild, the same vibration occurred at the same speeds.
My problem: I'm calling different places about balancing & they say "Is it aluminum? We can't balance aluminum shafts. You need to replace with a steel shaft". Is this true? My current shaft HAS WEIGHTS &i swear I haven't dropped or done any damage to it! Why would I need to REPLACE with a steel shaft instead of balancing the current one???
