Lightbulb GMC solves the Vibrator

I purchased my 04' F150 back in December 2003. I started to notice the clunking on stopping and going. The dealer did the TSB of lubing the yoke. It definetly helped a little but it's not the cure all. Now just recently (2X so far) I have gotten the 55mph vibration. It lasts for about 5-10 minutes then it's gone. I have a feeling that all the troubles are coming from the slip yoke. I feel it's binding up.

A friend of mine owns a GMC Dinali and had the same problem but a lot worse them mine. After 3x with GMC and a lot of unneccesary lube time. GMC came out with a TSB to replace the slip yoke with a Titanium yoke with titanium splines. He never had a problem again. [Why can GMC find the trouble and Ford can't. Or is it they don't want to spend the money. If I could find a replacement for mine I would gladly pay out of pocket to fix my troubles. The dealerships don't really care.

Thanks.

DSB= Dispute Settlement Board

vibration only lasts 5 or 10 minutes? Are you sure it's not flat spots in your tires? It is cold up there...
