I didn't read through unrelated opinions, but the original post suggesting that there was vibration due to the new transmission being slightly longer, and that changing the driveshaft angle so much that it would cause vibration above 40 MPH seems highly unlikely to me.

These chassis come with different driveshaft lengths, and while they are in sections, there is little chance that a couple of inches of extra transmission length would be that significant over wheelbase differences close to 70 inches.

Anything is possible, but I trust Ford engineers can handle a driveshaft angle. The problem with these types of stories/claims on the Internet is that there is no way to know who started them, or if they had an ulterior motive.
