I have Vibrations goin past 65mph! I checked if the driveshaft had play to see if the u-joints were bad, but didnt have no play!! still not sure??? The driveshaft has about 1,000 miles on it and its aluminum. The vibration is not that bad but it is annoying??? Any thoughts???

did you check the actual driveshaft bolts? i put an aluminum driveshaft on my car and about 1,000 miles later, somehow they started to come lose. luckily i checked it when i did, or there woulda been bigger problems than just a vibration.
