I had the mid-life pickup out yesterday.It runs and handles great,except when I got on the freeway.Speeds above 55mph,there was a vibration.Tires are new and balanced,wheels are straight.This vibration is not felt in the steering wheel, or the seat.It's felt through the floor I think.Any suggestions?

If it didn't have a vibration before new tires were installed and now it does now I would have the tires checked again.
Could be a broken cord in the tire. I have a motto "just because it's new doesn't mean it's right"

If you can swap the rear tires with the front and the vibration still is coming from the back you can eliminate the tire theory.

Does it have a carrier bearing on the driveshaft?
