Have you had your tires balanced? have you had an alignment? do you have any broken suspension parts front or rear? Is your drive shaft bent? balanced? What makes you think changing differential assemblies will stop the 'shaking'?

    If the yoke bearings on the differential are ok? you shouldn't be having issues. The differential going bad wouldn't give just a vibration, the entire back end would be hopping like a leprechaun on an electric skillet..... the vehicle would be completely undrivable.

    seems like you decided to take your mechanic at his word. Wondering why you posted the question in the first place unless you doubted him to begin with. Good luck with what-ever course of action you choose to pursue.

Yes it could stop it. But a differ that bad has destroyed bearings. Have them show you what's wrong. Remove the cover plate and there would be chunks of metal in it. Not flakes. you can get the whole set up at junk yards for around $300. Case,diff, and axles.

Testimonial: "to the salvage yard and get a whole new rearend for 250 running good now"

there should be some aluminum lines under the truck on the rear of body, feel these lines with the a/c on, if they are cold then there is something wrong with your rear blen door, blend door is the door controling the cold or hot desire position, sometimes it is controled by vacium and sometimes it is electrical, if lines are cold what most likelly they will be then have the rear belnd door actuator inspect.

SOURCE: 99 chevy tahoe, rear driveline clunk upon start

ok, i got the answer and possibly a permenant cure. so i read on many sites that GM has this SPECIAL grease for this clunk, but some people that use it say it dosnt last, so today i tried just putting regular tube grease, it worked for about 10 miles then started to here it come back. i then removed the driveshaft again to see whats up. i looked over the input shaft and saw that it has ware marks in a sliding motion. marks that occastionaly removing it would cause. with further thought i was wondering how could it move that much, where was this travel in the back end? so i came up with this theory, the rear end pivots with the tourqe and pulls the rear back slightly due to the rear shackles of the leaf springs. (four link or trailing arm set-ups dont alow the pull back that leaf springs do), so, im going to try and put a set of tracion bars to see how it changes this action, but i feel the only way to eliminate the clunk/thunk/slight bounce that plagues ALL leaf spring GM trucks/suv's, is to put a four link set-up. will update as i make progress.

I have a 1998 Chevy Tahoe that shake very bad I just had the tires rotated and balanced and changed .the shaking is not coming from the motor isn't coming from under the truck .

One of the wheels you just moved to the front is probably out of balance. (it would be out of balance on the rear, too, but you wouldn't notice it as much there)

My 1998 Chevy Tahoe shakes real bad about 50 60 miles per hour and stopped at my 75 what's the problem

Jason, it can be a number of things causing the vibration..check the obvious first like Glenn Blevins answer. If that doesn't help then go on to the less obvious things..Like...
Hard starting or getting real bad gas mileage? (I know, the mileage sucks to begin with..I own a 2000 OBS Tahoe Limited so I know the mileage sucks!)
*Fuel pressure regulator..
*Spider fuel injection..Check these to make sure pressure is holding good.
*Distributor..They wear and act crazy...I'm in the process of changing mine now...It made my Hoe shake badly!
I don't know what the mileage is on your Hoe but I would say it's about time to start checking all the things I have mentioned.
There are lots of really good forums to get info on these trucks..OBS (Old Body Style) trucks have a large cult following so you will not be at a loss for info.
The vibration started at about 40 mph and would chill out around 65 mph...I knew it wasn't tires/rims on mine so I hit the forums and found a new world of info and testing to do on mine.
If it turns out to be a worn distributor on yours, go to ebay and purchase an billet aluminum made one..about 5-10 dollars more than the stock plastic shell OEM one that came on the truck.
