Vibration

Mine doesn't have a driveline vibration, but I do have a steering wheel nibble when it's cold. I was reading some updated TSBs at work today, and one mentioned that if the vibration goes away after about 20 miles of driving, it's from flatspotted tires and considered normal. WTF? If that's the case, then I want new tires, dammit, this is a truck, not a duece and a half. I know it's a heavy truck, but flat spotting? Yeah, right.
Interesting. I have had my F150 SuperCrew in twice in 2 weeks for vibration. the tires were out of balance the first time (3000 miles). 2 weeks later I was back in and 3 of the 4 were out of balance again with 600 miles (highway only) logged on them. 3 days after getting them balance the vibration came back. I live in MN and I thought maybe it was tire pressure due to cold weather, they were fine when I checked them. Interesting to hear what you had to say. I am going back this week and if it rears its ugly head again I am asking for new tires.
