All that means is it isn't a posi or limited slip. You have a open rear. Most likely it needs u-joints or drive shaft needs balanced.

Trucks have a limited slip rear end to help in turning. if both back tires are in the air they will turn,the drive shaft wont turn because its in park. to check the vibration you might check the balance of your tires

How do I remove the rear end

It's really pretty simple. Jack the truck up and rest it on jackstands on the frame of the truck. Remove the wheels, brake calipers "if it's disc brakes drums if it's drum brakes" remove the brake cable from the park brake assembly, remove the brake fluid lines from the wheel cylinders if it's drum brakes, remove the bolts holding the driveshaft to the rear yoke, remove the bolts holding the rear end to the leaf springs while the rear end is supported with the jack and then slowly let the jack down.... It's out!

Vibration between 25-35mph only in DRIVE (automatic)

U joints get worse as speed increases. You can try replacing the mount for the transmission it may help. Also check to see if the drive shaft is damaged.

You will need to check things logically. Run the truck in the air and note where the vibration is at. Take the wheels OFF and put a few lug nuts to hold the rotors on, take the truck to 45mph or whatever the vibration is the worst. is it still there? if its gone, check wheels/ tires. if its still there, check rotors, axles. A drive shaft will make a rapid vibration at low speeds since it turns 3 to 4 times faster than the wheels. does it vibrate on or off the gas? Can you power through the vibration like go 60 and then coast back through? You have replaced a lot of parts that would not cause vibrations. Are you just changing parts willy nilly or is someone actually checking and verifying that these parts really bad?

I just replaced rear axle bearings on a 2000 silverado it is still on jack stands,i can spin rear wheels but truck is in park. cannot spin drive shaft

The truck is in park, this means the parking pawl is engaged to keep the wheels
from moving and it locks the transmission/ driveshaft. Try putting it in neutral instead.

The drive shaft yoke is dry on the transmission out put shaft. When you stopp it slides in on the shaft, and then when you let go of the brakes the yoke sides back and goes clunk. Remove drive shaft and lubricate the splines in the yoke.

Truck sat for about a year and now when in park rear wheels both spin freely. When in gear pinion and ring gear do not seem to engage but wheels spin freely without making driveshaft spin. Is this in the...

Hi, well with both wheels off ground, they will turn opposite directions when you turn one of the wheels even in park. now if engine is running and you put it into gear and the driveshaft turns but not the wheels, then someone stole the guts out of your rear end.

My 2004 Mercury Mountaineer will go into gear but will not move. What could be the problem

Your rear emergency brakes could be hung up. Especially if a parking valet or someone else parked it recently.

You need to jack up both rear wheels and then put your car into neutral with the motor OFF. If the rear wheels can not be manually turned it is either the emergency brakes, the differential or the transmission.

The emergency brakes require removing the back tires and rotors. If it is still locked, then it is either the differential or the trans. The driveshaft connects the trans to the differential so remove the driveshaft. If the differential turns without the driveshaft, then the trans is locked up. If the differential does not turn the problem is inside the differential.

Noise from driveshaft .sound like a atv tires whine on highway,but i dont have atv tires ,u-joints and rear end ok???

The rear end and the transmission are possible to blame. The rear end jacked up and on jack stands with both or all wheels off the ground . $ wheel drive needs all wheels to be up on alevel hard surface in a quite place. With a driver in the truck driving at the speed the noise is loudest listen to each partt with a broom handle pipe Ect. the rear ends are most likly and the noise changes from slowdown or speedup. Lack of lubercanrt would be nice or jast a bad wheel bearing ( grab the stopped wheel and try to move it up and down ) No play should be found and turn smooth, in and out a little is normal and the brakes on or off shouldn't changany thing or they are suspect. Driveshafts click pops and ring not wine. Trannys get bad bearings if they do you may have noticed other trans related problems as well. When trannys whine they do bad things are are getting ready to. Somr driveshafts have a carrier bearing are two piece and have a U joint in the middle. Listen to the sounding rod while running touched to this part and it will be a for sure if its bad
