Default Anyone have odd vibrations?

I've noted an abnormal amount of vibes at highway speeds (~75-95mph) since day one. At 60mph and under it's barely noticeable. Figured it was the tires so I replaced/rebalanced them (Stockers were summers anyhow and needed to be pulled). Still there, not a hint of change.

Anyhow, it still can be felt through the floorboard, wheel, gas pedal, center console, rear floor... There are two vibrations too, one that feels like a wheel balance and another that feels like a cyclic strumming: viiiibrate <pause> viiiibrate <pause>...

Had the tires rebalanced and they and the wheels seem fine, no visible bends or anything.

I'm thinking driveaxles. Whatever it is, it has ample mass.

Thoughts?

(Yea, it's going to the dealership next week but it would help if I can give them *something* more to go on).
