After starting my truck, and putting it into drive, there is














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































when I put my truck into gear and start moving. An overall vibration starts that pretty much vibrates the whole truck. It doesn't feel like a front end out-of-alignment vibration. And it continues when I put it in neutral, and continue moving. Its almost like when you go over a road that has grooves cut into it. Don't know if that makes sense

Check your u-joints. Might have one frozen up causing the bind. Does the vibration change at all with engine rpm?

In answer to your question, there is no difference when I put the truck, while in motion, in neutral, and rev the engine.
