I see these posts about the vibration issue. What does the vibe feel like?

I look in my side view mirror doing 55-58mph and my entire truck bed is doing the cha-cha. That's what it "looks like". Fortunately, not much of that translates to actual "feeling" inside the cab.

My truck bed does that from 50-60mph. Is that the vibration problem?

There are a few different descriptions of what people are saying about the vibration in their trucks, but I believe the one you and I are experiencing is the most prevalent.

I'm not hearing any axle noise or feeling anything in the steering wheel. What, if anything, should I do about it?

nitzer,

Does your truck do the cha-cha everytime you are in that speed range or just intermintantley? Does it happen only after the truck has been driven for awhile?

I see the bed shaking around at the 60mph range. Also have about 1/2" of movement in the steering wheel between 60 and 80, seems the worst at around 65. I can feel it in the seats and hear it in the change in my ashtray. 2300 miles so far, in to the dealer for the vibration dampener this week if I can make it.
