Installed new Strange DS today... vibrations... anyone get them?

I put a new Circle-D converter, flexplate and driveshaft in today. When it hit 80-110 MPH I get some crazy vibrations. We will put the stocker back in next week to see if it cures it but wondering if anyone else had DS vibrations and what was it?

Same shaft length as the stocker ? Converter/Flexplate all lined up correctly?

Same length measured side by side and with a tape. Converter and flexplate all lined up properly. I noticed the Strange DS doesn't have a dampner on the slip yoke like the stocker. The yoke is a Spicer piece. I guess only way to really know is swap them and see

Would not be the first strange DS to have vibrations, that I have seen. Swap the shaft first to see what it does.

My Strange shaft weight orientation changed when I had PST re-balance it. DS was less than a year old and had less than 3K miles. I was chasing down a nasy vibe. It was the Strange DS.

I have a Strange DS and I am less than happy with it. It was out of balance and still have vibrations. Getting it checked once again.

I hope to get mine out tomorrow and if the stocker fixes it I don't want the Strange driveshaft back even if they say they fix it.

Found my issue tonight so just wanted to update. Go ahead and get that Strange driveshaft! We failed to put the clips on the universal. We put them in and it is smooth as can be. I had it up to 120 MPH tonight and not a shake!

My Strange CM DS drives vibration free all the way up
