Rear Vibration
2002 F150 Supercrew
33" Tires
I have noticed a vibration which appears to be coming from the rear end when i am pulling out. It only happens for a couple seconds then goes away when I build more speed. I originally thought it was an axel bearing on the drivers side, replaced it, and still have the same problem. I checked all of the universals and everything seems to be ok. Took it to a garage and they told me it was the transmission acting up because the computer wasn't reprogrammed for the bigger tires. I have since reprogrammed the computer to compensate for the oversize tires, but still have the vibration. Sounds like it is something mechanical to me, but if it's not the universals or bearings, then what could it be?
Any help or input would be appreciated.
I also just replaced the rear end oil when I changed the axle bearing.

I changed the bearing and the oil because i thought the noise was coming from the bearing, so yes, i did have the noise before changing oil. I put whatever oil was on the tag on the rear end back in, plus the additive. yes i have ls, it does it when i pull out straight, turn to both sides, and even in reverse.
I have heard people say it is the transmission, clutches in the rear, not sure which it is if any. I have some slop where the driveshaft slides into the back of the transfer case, garage mechanic told me it was within the allowable tolerances.
Thanks for the reply

It doesn't sound like rear end LS clutches if it makes the noise taking off straight.
Was the driveshaft removed so the yoke, bearing and lubrication could be examined?
Do you have a lift?
