Rumbling noise as I drive down the road at about 45-60mph - it sounds and feels a bit like I hit a rumble strip but it is coming from the engine
Sounds like a half shaft. Reach around behind each wheel and see if there is play in the shaft that leads from the wheel to the transmission. There should be no play. Other possibility is a bearing hub. Jack up car, grab the tire at 9 and 3 o'clock. Shake wheel if there is movement not from the tie rod then it is the bearing hub.

Sounds Like A Wheel Bearing Has Failed. ISOLATE it & Replace it

does it have acentre bearing in the tail shaft ?if so ,fhat is more than likely the problem .also check that all the tail shaft yoke s are in line,they only have to be 1 spline out togive those symptoms ,a rumble ,is definatly coming from the driveline
SOURCE: intermittent rumbling sound in transmission
Do you have the problem when you turn on the car as well? I had this same problem, turns out the alternator was going bad. A few months later the alternator went. After the alternator was replaced, the problem went away.

No this is not happening when I'm not accelerating but it does stop when I take my foot off the gas. The van had the torque converter replaced through a recall about a year ago. If I remeber correctly it also has a new alternator. I've even had the tie rod ends replaced recently. Thank you for the suggestions I'll have to start looking and working on it as soon as the weather warms up.
