    As I accelerate my entire truck shakes. Usually once I hit 30-40mph it goes away, but each day it's getting worse. It will also shake around 20-25mph steady speed. It's getting to the point where I can hardly drive the truck. Any ideas? My dad said to check u-joints, I did and they are fine.

    I also noticed my transfer case seems to have a little play, when I push up and down on the rear of it it will move some. Doesn't feel loose, just moves. I can get a video up of both problems later tonight.

    The ball joints, upper control arms, front shocks and a few other things were all replaced just recently.

    The T-case vid is uploading right now, when it's done I will take one of the shaking and upload it.

    My phone decided it didn't want to finish the upload, so I'm doing it through my laptop. Sorry for the wait.

    Check all your lug nuts
    Jack each wheel up and check for play around the hubs
    Have you ran over anything recently? A damaged driveshaft would really wobble
    Also check the driveshaft bolts, the ones that hold it up.

    If still nothing, spend $100 for an hour of shop time at Ellis and have them look at it. They are really great guys that'll hook you up.
