Default 2006 Vibration

I bought a 06 1500 Quadcab 4x4 Hemi Big Horn edition, a week ago. I want to know if anyone esle is noticing a vibration around 60mph? Seems to be cycling it comes and goes steadily. I thought it might be something to do with the Multi-Displacement?

Thanks

I have a 2006 Quadcab 4x2 with same vibration...starts around 40mph, when you hold pedal at constant speed, low vibration is felt in pedal - when taken out of overdrive, vibration goes away. Also took it to dealer today, all codes look OK. Is this something to do with the torque converter?

I will call the dealer later today and see what they find!! I know everyone keeps telling me that the MDS is transparent, even the dealer, but this is not an extreme vibration. This could be what they consider transparent enough!! It is probably just me, when ever I get something new, I am really picky, wanting it to be perfect!!

I dont have an 06, but I just hate the fact that the dealers go by the codes. There are some things that the code just cant pick up.

Got the truck back!! The dealer said that they think the drive shaft was installed wrong. They rotated it 180Deg. I was skeptical at first, but it seems much better now. If the vibration is still there it is very minute.

Sick of hear that MDS is transparent crap. Driving mine I can absolutely tell when it kicks on and off, especially at low speeds. I get some sort of vibration but it's intermittent and usually under 20mph when I'm pulling out.

Sry to say but theres no way that you feel you mds kickin in at low speeds becuase it wont kick in under 60 unless ur on a long long long road with a 45 mph it may kick in but to my knowlege mds was made for highway driving only, so above 60-65 is when it kicks in and it is completly transparent.
