Default Driving Vibration

I have a 2005 Ram 1500 2WD. I get a vibration at about 30 MPH. I have rotated and balanced tires, fixed an exhaust manifold gaskets leak, replaced sway bar end links. No check engine light is on and I have jacked it up to test to see if there is play on the tire to check the ball joints. No shiny spots on the drive shaft at the U joints. Only vibrates when accelerating or maintaining speed. Any idea what it could be?

When's the last time you replaced the pads & rotors? Maybe you've got an uneven rotor somewhere?

Brakes would vibrate when braking.

Check your driveshaft bolts, make sure they're all tight. Also check your motor mounts and harmonic balancer.
