Yeah, that would be bad. Haha However, I highly doubt adding such a miniscule adjustment of angle to the driveline would have a catastrophic effect. Plus, I test drove the truck on the interstate for about half an hour last night. With little to no change, I'm not really too worried. If it made...

Ok, so here's an update with the shim method mentioned by @Porpoise Hork. I added a single 1/8th inch shim and then took it for a test drive last night. Didn't seem to change anything or make any difference on said test drive (smooth highway at 60+ mph) and same with a brand new glass-like...

@Porpoise Hork I replied too soon. I looked at your link and you listed what you used. I'm in the process of ordering the exact shim kit right now. I'll definitely report back and see if this works, as well. Thanks!

Soooo, about this shim? Care to share the details and how to get our hands on this or make it? I also believe something like this would eliminate the drivetrain slop a lot of us have in parallel with the vibration. And by slop, I mean a "thunk" coming to a stop and a similar "thunk" from the...

So, I've been a bit busy lately but I have a minor update to this - also posting to bump this thread. I took my truck to the dealership for this issue about 3 weeks ago. They said that they of course couldn't replicate my exact issue but "noticed" that the transmission was shifting hard between...

No, but they need to address the vibration issue. Welcome to the vibration nation. Btw, I'm not stock. Eibach Pro with fifteen52 Traverse HD's and Falken Wildpeaks @ 265/70-17's. Now, I actually experienced this vibration when I bought the truck STOCK. I initially had the dealer balance the...

Will do, Phil. I'm just kind of annoyed by all these "fixes" or what have you for this, for the vibration, for a lot of things - nobody is posting that they actually work. And why Ford slacked on a lot of these issues and STILL thinks this is within NORMAL tolerances is beyond me. But I guess no...

Bumping this thread to see if anybody got any good results fixing this. I'm having this SAME exact issue. I'll be taking this in to the dealership in 4 days and I want to make sure that Phil's advice fixed or remedied the problem.

YOU may be running out of options, but is there anything we normies can do to get it noticed? I know we can take our trucks to the dealership over and over again, but we'll always get the same answer, "it's normal" or "your wheels and tires need balanced for the 6th time" or "that's what happens...

Just curious, do we know if Ford has acknowledged this, the vibration, is an issue? You know, other than dealerships and service departments saying "the vibration is normal"? Because, well, it sure as hell is not normal.

So, I'm now ready to put the new assembled front struts in, but I completely forgot to orientate or even mark the positioning of the top hats installed. Can somebody tell me the correct orientation? Does the roll pin have to be ori

Hey man, I'm looking to seal up the tailgate like you did here. I just installed a Roll-N-Lock and a Bedrug liner. Could you tell me exactly what tailgate seal you used? Also, I see where you put it around the sides near the taillights, but is there anywhere else you put it?

Yeah, I get that. Which is why putting the factories back on or balancing just the wheel itself could eliminate some theories.

If I can't recreate the vibration with the factory wheels and tires back on, I'm going to be at a loss for ideas. Only other thing I can think of is that I DO have a true out of round tire or bad tire, or one of the rims is bent. I've also tossed around the idea of taking the aftermarket wheels...

I'm almost positive that each hub surface is clean. I usually inspect each time I remove/mount wheels and tires because I'm always afraid of sandwiching debris in there, like dirt and rust, and other crap. But I'm going to remove them tomorrow and put the factory set back on and take it for a...

Well, I don't want them to turn me away BECAUSE of the aftermarket wheels and tires. Granted, they don't void any of the warranty, but putting the factory wheels and tires back on just to prove that it's the truck and not the rolling stock sounds better. But then again, "gonna need a good...

I can not find anything that will work the vibration out, lessen it, or make it worse. In fact, it's noticeable at 40mph, albeit a lower frequency, compared to 70+mph highway speeds. Like I said, it feels like a tire or wheel out of round - but 3 different shops verified that the new wheels and...

Hey Phil! Are you saying that I SHOULD go back to factory wheels and tires to see if I can notice the vibration?

That's what I'm also thinking it is, too? Isn't our driveshaft a 2-piece? I don't know.

So, when I got my truck, I had a very slight, almost unnoticeable vibration at highway speed. To me, it seemed as if a tire was ever so slightly out of balance. I had the factory 18" wheels and tires rebalanced at the dealership and even though they stripped the weights and started fresh, said...
