Default IO Low RPM "Thumping"

...
U-joints "thump" ? What was the "rate" of the thump? And what is the

RPM?
I would think the term used would be more like "vibration" - "thump"

implies
that its not following the rate of the turning drive shaft.


For me it was a resounding "THUMP" every few seconds, at about 1000-2000

RPM,
went up to 3500 it went away; went back down; didn't happen again.


A fricking "U" joint did this?.... 'who knew'.
Dang, learn something new every day. I
don't unserstand the mechanics behind that
unless it causes some sort of binding or something ?
