Problem with a drive line vibration?
I know...a vibration issue. I will try to be as specific as possible, but this one has me stumped.
Occasionally there will be an abrupt and very loud vibration coming from my drive line. If I decelerate, it continues until the truck stops and then I can continue on my way. Sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't It will not go away if I keep driving or vary speeds and it is much more of a noise thing than a shaking thing. It is dependant on the speed I am going, not the gear or RPM.
It is cold here (-3 low right now) and snow is on the ground so I thought some snow accumulation was wedged between the tire and body, that is what it sounds like (something rubbing on the tread of the tire like a stick getting stuck there). I thought when I stopped it was just falling out. Problem is, I don't have any snow accumulation. The underside is pretty clean, nothing is against the tires and the drive shaft looks just fine.
Any ideas?

checked the pinion bolt, still tight and staked. Still stumped. I still wonder if there is some ice in the bell housing. I don't have anywhere inside to park it to warm it up a bit to find out though. I will plug in the block heater, that may do the trick. Going back out to crawl all over it in the snow!!!

OK, so I did some driving and trouble shooting, it only makes the noise when i turn left in 2WD, shifting into 4WD or stopping cures the problem. Of course it doesn't happen EVERY time I turn left either. AHHH!!!

thre rear is the same, the front is 90 degrees off. How the hell could that happen? Do I need to flip it around? Why would it be fine for the last few thousand miles and not now? AHHH!
