    I had a truck that did that once. I swore on my life it was coming from the front end but it wasn’t. Check all the tires slowly carefully on the tractor. All eight of them on the back. If there’s bald spots on those rear tires or flat spots worn down, it will make the front end shake like that.

    I'd need to drive it. Then I think I'd be able to pin it down.

    i have a 2020 cascaida. it shakes and bounces all the time. it even has a shudder (vibration) throughout the entire truck only as i accelerate between 25-45 mph, i've already lost money trying to figure out the problem as it was unsuccessful. No mechanic was able to figure out my problem. What i've learned is that you have to ignore this #### until something stops working in your truck then fix it. these are heavy duty vehicles and as long as the truck is running and hauling i would ignore it and tell yourself it is a truck, not a Lincoln Town Car. Because the idea is to make money, make money don't put any more money back into it, just run it to the ground then get into another truck later.
