Re: Weird vibration
Hi Greg,
The front driveshaft will rotate, even if the front axle disconnect is
working properly, via friction.
Usually it's a universal joint. You could have a bent driveshaft. Put it
up on a rack and see if you can find it.

Re: Weird vibration
Having said that, if the drive shaft is so bent as to cause a vibration in
2HI, odds favor it not spinning due to friction with the oil inside the
differential.
Bill is correct, the driveshaft _can_ turn as a function of friction between
the gears inside the diff, and the oil. But, the friction is not great,
which is a function of oil. Cold, extreme cold, might play a role in this,
but I doubt it.
