If I can come up with a way to not puke fluid everywhere I'll give it a shot.
Trans mounts and motor mounts all look good and are only a year old. Replaced them when I did the newest engine

I've heard a 20 oz pop bottle with the bottom cut out will fit inside the seal or over it and then you can just tape it on there.
A small gatorade bottle with the big end cut off will slip over the outside of the slip yoke output. Couple wraps of gorilla tape over the tailshaft housing and the bottle will lock it in for a couple of runs.
Sounds good I'll give it a try
I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding what this would point out though. If the driveline was replaced with zero change what else could cause a shake?
Have you double checked your rear axle pinion angle?
Right now you need to eliminate variables. Driving it without the rear driveline in place will tell you a couple of things. IF the problem persists, then you know for a fact it's not the rear. You can then focus your efforts up front. IF the problem goes away without the rear shaft in place it may actually be in the rear.
You could still have a driveline problem or at least an angle issue. Something has changed for sure. I know before I lost my rear driveshaft it was vibrating under decel. It was slight enough I was thinking it was actually the exhaust with the engine braking going on. When it broke on the road all I had on me was a gatorade I had just bought when I got gas and no tools. My niece and nephew saw me and stopped to help. Using his knife and some duct tape I pulled the shaft and stuffed the bottle on and taped it up. Drove home on the front and wouldn't you know it my decel noise/vibration was gone. That confirmed it for me.
I drove it without the driveline. Made a huge mess lol still shook like crazy. Felt different but still shook
Would that change after 10 years of use?
No. Not unless something is broke.
Still think it's the king pins...
Having my buddy look into it.
Just so everyone is on the same page. It's a shake not a vibration. And it seems to get worse with speed
The shaking of the engine is what I saw.
I saw that too, but if it doesn't change with engine RPM, how do you think that is associated with the engine? Would it be more of something shaking the engine around?
And having the problem appear after Hell's revenge.... But stay after so many changes.
That pretty much says it's not in the rear. Problem is in the front.
Well problem is not rear drive line.
I got all new bushings for the front end. Frame bushings, spring bushings, I checked and double checked everything, I'm having my buddy throw in the bushings on Tuesday (I don't have a lift or way to get weight off the springs or i would do it right now).
My buddy is also going to go through the king pins. Hoping one of these is the issue.

On a completely unrelated note, I have been complaining that "my exhaust is to loud on the freeway"...well.... switching tires cut the noise in half so I guess it was a combination of things lol. Should help with 4 hour drives. It will be nice to hear the radio or my passenger lol

When you did your frame bushings did they slide right In? Or did you need some sort of press/clamp to get them in? I assumed they would go in pretty easy now the guy at my friends shop is telling me it's a job they can't do... I'm confused it seemed pretty straight forward. (my buddy is heading in later, I'm sure he can do it) i wish i had a lift at my house lol
Yeah you just lube them up and push them in. Sometimes a little persuasion with a dead blow is needed. Not that hard. If they are original they might be a bit tough to remove and the bore might need to be cleaned up a bit before putting the new ones in.
Thanks! That's what I figured. I want to say my leaf bushings in the front are the same way, he said he needs a press to throw those in and I'm calling B.S. I swear I put those in my tuff country front springs by hand or with a hammer...
