I've been having a vibration on the highway (65mph+) and have been trying to hunt it down for awhile now. I been thinking maybe my driveshaft is out of balance for some reason so I decided to remove it for a quick test drive with the truck in 4x4 hi. I figured having the front end pull the truck for a short drive should be fine. Is this correct? In my head, it seems like it should work without any issues with just the front end pulling in 4x4 hi.
When I started the truck up and put it into drive, the truck was extremely jerky. Once I got over 10 mph or so, it drove normal. I decided it didn't feel right because of the jerkiness, so I just took it around the block and parked. The jerkiness would only occur at slow speeds when coming to a stop or just starting to accelerate. If the truck was stopped and I was holding the brake, it didn't feel like it was surging or anything. Any ideas why it would do this? I'm wondering if it's an issue in the transfer case or front diff?
The truck is a 01 4.0 EB. Thanks in advance.
