Question Problems and pre-modding

Okay well I have some questions and I decided to make a thread since my searches didn't yield much.

First problem which I haven't really looked into because I just noticed it is a driveline vibe. I've been driving my truck pretty easy since my leafs are still creaking. I need to get under there and check the u-joints which I just replaced. Any other ideas? It is only under acceleration and it feels like I am driving over a rumble strip.

Second problem I believe is a clogged ac drain. Underneath my passenger side I heard something dripping onto my exhaust. Well I crawl under and the move the matting around on top the frame, it is really wet. I felt around inside the passenger footwell and the padding is dry. Where does the drain originate and whats the best way to fix that?

Lastly, since my budget doesn't really allow for mods I decided I'm going to take everything out of my truck and run all my wires neatly and secure them as well. All my mods have been done hastily and under my dash is a sea of wires. I want to go through and clean them up and maybe label. Is there anything I should do while I have the truck bare? I could swing for some sound deadener if it is REALLY worth it. I also thought about laying wires for when I replace the door speakers eventually. Thoughts?

I can tell you about the first problem...I just had a new driveshaft made. I still have slight vibe..somewhere..but it was only 350 for a whole new driveline, and that included everything. I know getting it rebalanced is rather cheap like 50 bucks. Id try getting it rebalanced, and if the yoke is way out see about a new DS.

I haven't even checked it yet. I am hoping the yoke slipped out or an easy fix like that. Hell someone might have taped something to my driveshaft, I am going to crawl under after work, just getting some ideas of what to look for. I pray it isn't my gears...
