Vibration Fixed !
After a new trans, transfer case, changing the pinion angle, the PS TSB, removing the exhaust hangers, force balancing tires, balancing one drive shaft, replacing with a new drive shaft, we finally narrowed it down to the rear drive shaft. My dealer pulled a drive shaft from one that did not vibrate and guess what, it is gone finally! Must be a manufacturing issue. I hope this helps you guys, I’m back to liking my truck and time for a chip.

Now I know why DC won't fix any of my problems, you spent all of their profits on fixing your's
How did you manage to get them to replace the whole drive train wtih the exception of the engine
They would have spent less money just by letting you go onto their lot and find anyone you wanted that did not have any vibration

Yep, cost them a few bucks. Call it persistence, a great dealer and keeping my cool. I could have easily gone the lemon route....did not want to have to deal with that issue and reinstalling the accessories. Process of elimination was longer than anticipated!
The tranny issue started pulling my gooseneck with a loud bearing type noise (that would not reappear) and had to take a long trip pulling horses. Did not want to deal with a breakdown so we tried the tranny and TC swap from a good one aligned with the vibe issue and that did not cure it. The last piece was the Drive shaft from the good one. The Drive shafts must be MFCTD out of tolerance. Go with parts off a good one......I was at the end of the line.
