Thanks for the advice guys........and sorry for the slow reply (I have sciatica and have literally been crawling on the floor for the last week, so getting to the computer wasn't an option).

I finally got to the Dealership today to see how they were coming along with my 06. It still shakes after everything they did, so I went ahead and took the deal they offered me on the 09. Like I said a page back, full refund, and only $3,600 to go up 3 yrs, plus it's a quad cab and then there's all the extra warranty........not a bad deal. I took this one out for a 40 mile run, before I gave them the money, not a shake or a rattle anywhere. I orderd some accessories I needed (or wanted), so I'll get some pics posted when they get installed.

Again, thanks for all the help.

I think you'll be happy with the '09, that's a pretty good deal considering it's a quad cab and the updated 4.7 makes more power (it is a 4.7 I hope ).

Yep.......4.7L. This will be my 3rd 4.7 (Dak, Jeep, Dak)....great motor imho.

.......I suppose it's actually four 4.7's that I've had if you count the 06 I had for a week

Just as a quick note regarding the shimmy/shake...

I've got an '07 with the 4.7 HO. The truck has never tasted regular fuel and I'm running E3 plugs (see previous thread response). The truck has always had a bit of a shake while waiting at stop lights but after having the truck reflashed due to a slowly responding O2 sensor (see previous thread and applicable TSB) the shimmy described in this thread seemed become a little better. This week one of the O2 sensors was replaced and voila... no shimmy.

Also, as a quick question what wires are you talking about?! Are you talking about the harness to the coil packs because our trucks don't have plug wires?
