Default Vibration / Shake help (video)

Has 5 angles and sorry it's 5mins long, but what are you gonna do. Shot it in HD, but the you tube conversion lowered the quality a bit too much.

I have a vibration or shaking. Feels like the the trans/transfer is shaking under the floor. Slowly getting worse over several months. Does get better and worse while on long sweeping turns. Fades in and out slowly like tires in and out of sync.

@ 3mins the tranny shot shows the shaking I'm feeling.

Been after this for almost a year. 2006 5.7 quad/short. Figured I'd get some video and comments. Thanks for your input on this.
rear drive shaft balanced / U-joints
stub shafts and cv's
new tires (2 sets, road/pressure balanced)
shocks rear (front good shape)
front and rear diff. / gear inspect (spider, etc.)

Have you had your transmission and motor mounts inspected?

I posted pics on another forum, but I'm think'n it's best that I knock that out, again. I'm sure they've been checked, but time for a second opinion on everything.

What, were not good enough for pictures (JK)

Post them up, lets see.

On my Accord the engine/transmission is mounted sideways and it was obvious when the motor mounts were bad since the engine/transmission would jump up and down when it was revved but I'm not familiar with how to check them on my Dodge.

Maybe some one else here can tell you how to check them.

I greased the splines on the slip yoke and the vibration changed. Not so sharp, so to speak. I'm thinking on another trip to the driveline shop. Replace the joints again and see where it leads. Been told aftermarket joints can do similar things...

So was this ever solved? I have the same vibration and I've rotated tires, balanced tires, replaced brakes, replaced u joints and replaced tires. Still have the vibration. I checked the runout in the driveshaft while it's still installed and it's about .015. I checked the runout in the wheels and they are also around .010-.015 so I don't think it's them. I'm looking for what to check next.
