Default Vibration under hard accel.

HI Guys, I have a 02 dmax 4x4, When I floor it under hard acceleration I get a vibration in the drivetrain on it i think, I was maybe thinking u joints, or ??? I took it up to 80 under hard acceleration and it started vibrating pretty good, I took it up to 80 easy and it didn't vibrate at all. you can feel the vibration in the floorboards, What do you guys think......

Sounds like you have a bad carrier bearing.

Also if your truck is lifted you might need to shim the carrier bearing down a half inch or so.

should check axle wrap, see if your diff is walking around under accell

My 05 had it bad !

also check the center support bearing as well.
