Default Strange Vibration

I was just wondering if anyone knew why my 2006 Silveraod 4WD truck always vibrates at a certain speed every time. When I get up to 47-52 mph I get a very noticeable vibration. The vibration feels like it may be coming from the rear tires. If I go slower or faster the truck smooths right out or if I accelerate harder it never vibrates in that speed range. I was just wondering what might be causing this, I was wondering if I had a bad tire or something else. Anyone else have this experience? If it helps the answer the truck is in two wheel drive just driving down the road when this happens. I just wanted to add the truck shifts great and is really smooth when up to interstate speed it is just at those few miles per hour I have the vibration.

Check the u-joints, we have an 98,07, and two 06, and the 04. Chevys and GMC and that is one of the biggest problems. Not sure why, the don't feel loose like they say to look for but if not taken care of they take out the transfer case. I would check there, I never thought of that and bought a transfer case. It might just be the tires but you can't be too safe.

i actually had problems getting the driveshaft out. i took a crow bar to the rear end. and it poped right out. putting the new one in just take a socket a little smaller than the old u joint, and put it against something solid and hammered it out. its not that bad maybe an hr. good luck
