High-Speed Vibration

I have similar vibration also, at highway speeds crusing. Bro-in-law and I have concluded its that shitty 2 peice drive shaft. We put it up on a lift and put our hands on opposite sides of the "center support bearing" and there was close to 1/4" to 1/2" play, plus the mounting bracket for it is slightly bent. The inline 6 just has way too much torque for that 2 piece shaft. We couldnt even name another high torque car with a 2 piece.

IMO even if we did check the play i still dont know how much play it actually has when its trying to move a 3,000 pound car.
Just food for thought
