    There's just some parts that I typically like to go OEM over Aftermarket. But in this case, the spicer ujoint I got was almost identical so I went with it.

    Yup this is the first thing we are going to do tomorrow and make sure it's even aligned correctly or clocked right. Will update everyone tomorrow. Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

    Was it like this before replacing the parts? If not what you may be out of phase

    Figure I give everyone an update:

    I took my truck to "Driveshaft Pro" - in GG today and the techs were able to make my truck 100% vibration FREE!!!

    A few things that was wrong with the rear driveshaft was:
    1. The front ujoint that was replaced was missing the two black plastic pieces that go inside the cap of the ujoint.
    2. The front ujoint also had a half broken bearing inside
    3. DS was completely unbalanced and the tech had to take everything apart and rebuild/re-grease. He was able to reuse 2/3 joints I had originally put on but had to get a new one from them on the front. (near the TC).

    The picture below with the red arrow shows what I'm referring to on point #1
