    Like the title says, I have a vibration when in the throttle. It goes away when coasting or braking, and the speed when I apply the throttle or the amount of throttle doesn't seem to change it (other than it is faster at higher speeds). What would cause it? I have the 6spd so it isnt trying to shift gears.

    Some of my online research points to drive axles....?

    Would this be worse with weight in the bed?

    Possibly, the driveline angles will change a bit.

    Change it out before the driveshaft kisses the asphalt

    I would imagine just more added stress to the driveshaft.... When mine started doing what yours did, I had my mechanic look at it and said all mine were bad.
