Check ALL of your steering components for slop. Also wheel bearings.

Check the alignment, most death wobble can be fixed with a caster adjustment if everything is tight and it's still happening.

If you experienced true death wobble, you may not want to drive the truck again, I'd get the front tires balanced.

anyone have a linc to an aftermarket track bar? I have gone through three oem track bars including the upgraded one and two sets of prematurely replaced 35" tires at way too much $$. replaced all the parts in the front end at the dealership last time and had the wobble happen FOUR times in a three hour trip today! If I didn't love the cummins so much I'd own a GMC right now.

Check with the parts store. They should have longer ones available.
