Either pieces parts were not available at the time or the assembly of the drive shaft and its center support bearing and dampener were not constructed to allow replacement of the dampener assembly which is to my recall what the mechanic believed the failure to be.
Had to use the truck as was vibrating. Took to dealership first, dealership said it was probably the tires. Took truck to tire dealer, paid to have tires trued, rebalanced and 4 wheel alignment checked. Problem was in drive shaft center carrier member dampener and bearing area. Replaced drive shaft and carrier bearing dampener assembly, problem fixed, no more vibration from rear end.
