driveshaft vibration?
Hey.. I recently installed 4.10 gears.... now i have a small vibration, its nothing bad just a tremble at about 3000 RPM in 5th. It is now at about 90 MPH on up, where it use to be at about 120MPH.
Could this be a driveshaft vibration, and would replacing it with an aftermarket alluminum one likely make this better or worse?

FRPP.. I took the weight that hangs off the differential off... could this possibly be a vibration dampener ... I figured it was to add weight on the back of the diff to prevent wheel hop a little... but the vibration dampening is a thought

You are correct.
This is a pretty common thing when installing steep gears like 4.10's. A aluminum DS will help ! You may also try rotating the DS 180 degrees and see if that helps.
