I just looked at your drive shaft very closely, it looks to me the rust distorted it to the point it has a curve. Have you found the problem or replaced the drive shaft?

Oh, that was a spoof picture another member posted.

I'll be dropping off the truck at a local transmission shop next week and at I'll learn more after I get it back. I'm guessing there will be at least one bad u-joint i addition to my driveshaft being out of balance.

No worries.

Thanks! I have to do some tinkering on my other car to get it running better before I take the Blazer to the shop to have the transfer case output bushing replaced. At the time they'll remove the driveshaft and have it checked out.

I'll be sure to post an update!
