M1028- [under new management]

Cause I'm quite sure my current ujoints are out of clearance at ride height. If I can manipulate the carrier bearing crossmember and the height of the transfer case though, I might be able to keep the yokes from killing themselves due to insufficient angular clearance.

As it sits, the entire truck shudders at low speeds while the driveshaft is still spinning slow enough that you can tell the shudder is driveshaft related. After it speeds up, it feels more like more of a hum. I think this shudder is caused by the ujoint yokes hitting their angular limits, and I think they'd have broken already, but when it hits limit, it must deflect the entire carrier bearing down into its isolator since that's the path of least resistance.

I think I can get it fixed up without having to resort to ujoints, this week is just rough since I have my daughter and I can't get any real troubleshooting accomplished; thus, I'm left with obsessing about it.
 
I thought I posted it earlier but it's a completely bastardized setup from three different trucks. The front section was from an 88-94 heavy half ton 4x4 with an nv3500, the rear section was from a 95-99 c2500, and is only 30 inches long. The crossmember that I have the carrier bearing mounted to is out of a late 80s k20 with a 6.2.

Somehow it all ended up magically bolting up and it looks good... but it's obviously got its issues.
