how does the 05 have less issues? its the exact same model! nothing changed what so ever between 04 and 05 unless you count the pre-wire for the dvd player that you can now get
The same issue will happen with the 05. Some will be good some will be bad. Just luck of the draw

The center (carrier) bearing on the 2 piece driveshaft is different as of 7/04. That's one of the things in the TSB too.
BTW, the frame mounted vibration damper appears to be only for solving road surface induced harmonic vibration of the frame. Never was meant to solve the issues due to driveline problems, at least that's what I infer from what I read in 04-25-8.

I've been lurking this site after about 2 weeks in my new truck, thinking I was nuts for feeling what I was feeling. Turns out I'm a member of the vibe tribe too. When towing the 4k+ lbs that I tow, the vibration is horrendous. It's there the rest of the time too, but it's at a level to not tick me off all the time - I can tune it out if I want to, but I shouldn't have to.
I've been patiently waiting for a fix or new TSBs, and I'm grateful these new tsbs are out. The TSBs list several interesting possible fixes depending on the symptoms:
- A new carrier (center) bearing (new one is "symmetric") for trucks with a 2 piece driveshaft
- Repair of the U-Joint (or replace the driveshaft)
- Driveshaft runout
- Driveshaft imbalance
- Axle gearset pitch line runout (only for trucks that vibrate during accel/decel)
- Transmission imbalance/runout (vibe changes in/out of overdrive)
The one thing that did cheese me off a bit was that somewhere in one of the TSBs, it said that using a hose clamp on the driveshaft to bring it into balance was an acceptable fix. Talk about a "duct tape and bailing wire" solution!
Find the other forum and download the TSB's they are very enlightening!

None of the TSB's mention anything about a "hose clamp". I'd like to see that printed in a TSB 
Bahaha I was wrong. Page 3 of the 04-25-8 TSB says this in the flow chart.
"....Rebalance shaft at driveshaft repair shop or in vehicle with hose clamp method in Workshop Manual Section 205-000"
WTF? Maybe as a method to say, yep the DS is not balanced then really fix it properly. I'd love to see my truck come back with a hose clamp on the DS.

Where do you get your information from?
