I have a 2016 international, recently when I start to go anything from 50-70mph my steering wheel and pretty much the whole truck starts shaking, it’s shaking at it’s worst at 50-60 but 70 it reverts back to normal, what could be the cause of this?

Tires out of ballance or round will cause this.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
steering gear loose
air ride deflated causing bad u-joint angles
loose drive shaft yoke
worn u-joint
These are all things that can cause a bad vibration or "shake" but not all that canDave_in_AZ Thanks this. -

Could possibly be your carrying bearing. This bearing will cause a lot of shaking or vibration on your rig when worn out. You can check it with a pry bar for up and down movement or side to side movement.
Not that expensive to replace.201 Thanks this. -
Vibrations are always tough, it could be many things. If the shaking is in the steering wheel, chances are it's up front. Hitting a curb can break a belt in the steer tire, and wheel bearings too. If the shaking is in the seat, it's probably a driveline bearing. I heard bad harmonic balancers cause vibrations up front too.

Could be bad tie rod end or drag link or gear box issue. Stop and get it checked before someone gets hurt.
