two piece rear driveshaft or one piece? new drive shaft front or rear? any vibration felt with rear wheels off the ground running at 44mph in gear? Any wobble or run out in drive shaft? Did you disconnect front drive shaft and drive truck to see if vibration was still there? If two piece drive shaft did you try turning rear shaft 180 to front? Do you only get vibration while moving, no vibration felt in neutral or park?

Try another driveshaft or have it checked for proper balance. Have all wheels road force balanced.

Steel wheels? Check for roundness...

U-joints aligned...

Rear drums, could be out of balance....

Bad tire?

Just thinkin out loud on this...

Try jacking each tire off the ground and place a 2x4 an 1/8 inch away and rotate a full turn if you get bored and see what you get.

Dads 94 had a wierd vibration that picked up greatly over 70 mph. After 3 or 4 driveshafts, two sets of replacement tires,numerous balancings, brake drums and a complete rear end change out, it never ceased. Old mechanic in Kalispell says, did they ever check your wheels. Sure enough, two were over a 1/4" out of round. The other two were out about an 1/8'.

Chrysler "lost" the two worst ones. He finally bought a set of aftermarket alloys and the vibe stopped

Just trying to help, sometimes its the most obvious things that get overlooked..

It shouldn't make a difference in rolling characteristics, sometimes rotors can be out of balance.

Finding two vibration speeds is telling me its a reciprocating event, I'd keep after the tires and driveline

I did springs, tires, both drive shafts, carrier bearing, shocks, trackbar, 09 tie rods, energy bushings on sway bar, energy busgungs in front trailing arms, steering box and brace, still vibration under trans hump on highway and steering still loose I gave up

Also tried replacing the lower column bushing, waste of money imo
