I've got a vibration at about 65 mph, doesn't matter if I'm coasting or on the gas. I can grab the driveshaft right where it comes out of the tranny and can wiggle it a bit. The whole output shaft moves a bit. I checked a buddys truck his is tight. Question is, how do I tighten it? And, is it the likely problem? thanks... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Could be a worn out bearing, could just be a loose flange nut.

Grab a 30mm socket, and either an impact or a breaker bar. Remove the 4 driveshaft bolts (2 14mm wrenchs) and you will see the flange nut.
