    When I get to 60-65 truck starts vibrating. Feel it in the seat and steering wheel. Drive line doesn’t have any play. Nothing has changed. Still have same tires that are in good shape and correct pressure. Ride height is good. What could be causing this ? Between 50-60 it is there but not very noticeable unless your looking for it. Seems like it will vibrate for 3 seconds and quits for 3 seconds and vibrates for another 3 scones and so fourth. Any ideas ?

    Check air suspension ride height. Low or high throws off driveline operating angles

    Throw a wheel weight, lose a chunk of rubber, rock in the tire.

    My steers went out of balance and caused vibration at only 64mph

    What about the trailer? The paint color? Flag on the back door? Tree poked into the side? Dragging a compact car under the tandems?
