Default RE: Ram 1500 Vibration???

I have an 05 that was having issues with vibration, but that was after I bought new tires. The only reason I am saying this is make sure if they can, Road Force Balance the tires when they put new ones one. This will allow them to match the tire to rim. I took my new tires to the dealership and had them mounted and balanced. Truck had a vibration. Drove me nuts and took it back to them. They rebalanced, but still had the vibration. So I took it to and acutal tire shop, all they did was rebalance the tire and still didnt fix the problem. The guy I work with said he has taken his vehicles to a certain tire place for many years when he got new tires and had them mount and balance them. I called them and took the truck in and they Road Force Balanced the tires and I haven't had a problem since. Tires and rims aren't perfect, so this machine will make sure that the tire is mounted a certain way on the rim. Check the link for more info... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=17 I am sure the dealership didnt have this machine when they mounted and balanced the tires. This might not help everyone, but for a few it might. By the way I put 305-50-20 Yokohama's on the truck. Wider tire and it looks really nice!!

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I am having a vibration between 30-35MPH @ 1000-1200RPMs. The entire truck shakes. Mine is an 06 1500 with the Hemi. The dealership rotated the tires and replaced the drive shafts. This did not fix the problem. They had some Tech expert look at it today and he said "that is normal". The expert said "it is the MDS cutting back the cylinders". I called the Dodge customer service line and they told me that the service tech has the last word and too bad. Any one ever hear of that?

Well I contacted another dealer and described the problem. They said that it is not normal. So I will have them check it out in a few days and let you know what they find. Also, how is Dodge gonna take it if one dealership says every thing is fine and another finds a problem?

Well the other Dodge dealer had my truck for 4 days and didn't even look at it. They kept giving me the run around how they couldn't look at it until they got the go ahead from there DM. So I'm gonna have to sue Dodge under the Lemon Law and try to get my money back.

Wait, mine is vibrating like that too! So is it really just the wheel bearings? Even though I am the second owner, can I still bring it in for free of charge from dodge? I mean it is a recall! But yeah, usually when mine vibrates at about 35-55, I usually try to speed faster so it goes away since it's pretty annoying!
