    Did you just change it lately and it started. You check the cab mounts 73-80 mounts sit higher then 81-87 mounts. I forget for sure now but if your useing 73-80 frame the mounts have to be year of the frame your work with. or might be the cab yr has to match the mounts.


    So again 4x4 73-80 mounts........
    4x4 81-87 mounts...........

    4X2 73 - 80 mounts..........
    4x2 81 - 87 mounts.........

    maybe the heat sheld on the drive shaft.
