Question Cyclical Vibration in Tundra

I have a 2003 Tundra Access Cab. When I first drive it, before it is full warmed up, I get a cycling vibration. As I speed up, it speeds up and as I slow down, it slows down. The dealer tells me that it is typical of the Tundra, Sequia and the 4-Runner. They claim that it is a design flaw and an annoyance, but that it causes no damage. Apparently the driveshaft flutters around a bit in the transfer case when the truck is NOT in 4WD and that is where the noise apparently comes from.

Has anyone else seen this? Toyota is supposedly aware of the problem and may be working on a fix, but I have heard nothing yet.

Thanks for the help.
