vibration/drone

I have read many of the threads on this but am not quite sure if anyone has found the fix.I didnt go over 65 mph until this week once i had passed the 1k on the odometer and sure enough around 68 mph i got the vibration/ drone that many of us are talking about.I dont feel it in the steering wheel or pedals but can feel/hear it .More pronounced beetween 70 and 75.It is not horrendous but annoying and makes interior noisey.I would say a driveshaft problem.I am sure i know more about this than the dealer does or at least more than he is willing to admit to.Do you think i should just bring it to him and play dumb or should i share our wealth of knowledge with him?I would really like to get this taken care of without a yelling match with him.How many times must i bring it in for repairs until i need to contact dc?
