Default Nasty wobble?

I don't think it's the death wobble.
My buds 98.5 is having some nasty wobble while accellerating.
We checked the ball joints, tire balance and hubs, driveshafts .
Culd it be the trans or motor mounts?
Is this something that comes up on the Dodge trucks?
If it is I'm not familiar with this problem.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe something brken and out of balance,
just don't know what.

Is it only while accelerating? Under hard acceleration above 55mph I have a horrible vibrating that I can't figure out. Done u joints, center bearing, had the d-line balanced, checked motor mount,had tires balanced, tires rotated, checked pinion angle, new rotors and it is still there. I'm starting to wonder if it is in the transmission.

Jake, I would say it's like 35 and up.
I would say iy's just regular to hard acceleration.
I mean it's a bad shake.
It's like the Mayfair calender girls are on each runnin board jumping up and down.
I'm at stand still for ideas.

Does it stop after you get past a certain speed or is it from 35 mph all the way up.

Yeah, Jake itstops when you're maintaining a speed.
It's just getting there is when it is shaking like a wet dog.
You think itmight be trans mount Drew.
I'll talk to my bud and tell him to bring it over to another friends place
and put it on the lift, and check it out.
