Default Weird vibration

So, I moved out of the house I was at to about an hour away, first time since November that the truck has gone over 25 miles an hour
Not only do I definitely have a miss, I may have a slipping transmission that I need to check the fluid in, but I have this weird vibration it vibrates all the time but I'm guessing that's all the tires looking like the weights had been removed by the previous owner, but this vibration comes in waves kinda its like a burrrrrrrr....burrrrrrrr...burrrrrr....burrrrrrr. Like really trippy, does it all like every speed, and regardless of if I'm on the gas or not
Still have my climate control vacuum leak but I found a diagram in the manual that I'm gonna follow one day and see what I can find
Still have a vacuum leak somewhere going to the 4wd
But man she would hit 95 pretty well. Kinda wobbly feeling though. Lmao

Might just be your tires need balanced, either that, or the driveshaft..... A vibration that doesn't go away, has to be something that is turning regardless of engine load.

The whole truck vibrates all the time, but there's like a 2 second vibration followed by a pause then it happens again. It's really annoying but I can't get it in a picture, I know the truck needs new front u joints, but would bearings cause that kind of noise??

Yes it could be the u-joints and/or the front wheel bearings.

Whale whale whale lmao. Guess I should gear up for fixing more stuff

How hard is it to do u joints? And how hard is it for do the bearings?
About to get a cable actuator for the front so I can eliminate some vacuum crap lol
