Vibration @ 2000 and above

My 96 lwb, ext cab has a mild to medium vibration @2000 rpms and above. This is my 1st CTD and did'nt know if that was comon. I just drove it 200 miles today and it seemed to do it be worse when it had a load on it ( up hill, small trailer w/ 4wheeler.) I checked it in park too and it was the same vibration just not as bad. What should I look for? I've only had it for 2 weeks and have no idea when the last filter changd was.

Well it just came back from the local tranny shop they "put a new torque conv. and lock up circuits." I did'nt state that in the o.g. thread so I could get an un-bios opinion. I have had it back 3 days and the t.c. is slipping in 1st with a few surges at take off. I'm pretty sure this crappy reman t.c. is the culprit. I just do'nt have the $$$ for a full Goerend yet but i'm saving 4 show! My turbo also had an odd whine @ 65mph and up it's stock but I really need some boost guages. This is my 1st CTD after a bad run w/ 7.3 p.o.s. and will never go back to any thing. Thanks
