DONT EAT THE BLUE LOCTITE! Calling all Mechanics... Cummins Truck Vibration FIX??

What happens here

The presenter gets underneath the truck using a creeper to visually inspect the driveshaft and locate the carrier bearing. He explains that the current carrier bearing is old, rusty, and has excessive play, which is likely causing the loud, annoying noise and vibration. He discusses two options for removal: unbolting the carrier bearing housing directly or dropping the entire driveshaft. He chooses to drop the driveshaft, indicating it's a two-piece unit.

Goal: Locate and inspect the faulty carrier bearing and driveshaft assembly.
