I might as well join the gang. I, too, feel the vibs at the stated RPMs. I, too, will take it back to the dealer when my backordered accessory comes in.

I just think it is 5.7 mega monsters biting at the bit to run wild!!! Driving around town at putt-putt speeds is like keepin a ragin beast in a cage!!!

As I play around with it and try to isolate the vibration by varying speeds are RPM, I am becoming more convinced that it's primarily a tire issue.

I wish I had an extra $1000 to test my theory!

If it were a tire issue, we would be seeing the problem with the 4.7 engine. To my knowledge, all have been Hemi equiped. As others have stated, we can reproduce the vibs at little to no tire speed. Mine is not the tires.

If it were tires it also would most likely get worse with higher speeds. It would be unusual, albeit not impossible, to notice tire issues at lower speeds.

The best thing that can happen is for people to keep reporting it to your dealer. Eventually Dodge may (I stress may) do something about it if they notice enough complaints. Posting in here is good as well as the engineers may browse forums like this from time to time.

Just another quick piece to the puzzle guys. I had a BigHorn with a Hemi for a few days and had the vibration. I'm now driving a TRX4 with a Hemi and no vibration. It does of course have different tires but not saying that it's the issue, just no longer an issue here.

I believe it's a combination of all the vibrations going through the truck (engine, transmission, road, etc). They should have used some type of rubber washer to isolate the pedal from frame noise. After a quick look at the gas pedal assembly it looks like two nuts are holding it on. It's a nice set up with wires instead of cables connecting it to the engine. When I get a chance to look for some rubber washers I'm going to put one against the wall and one between the nut and pedal assembly and see it I can't isolate it.

Do those with adjustable pedals have this problem?

Several of the trucks with the vibration have adjustable pedals including mine. Changing of the position does not effect the complaints. It would be nice to know if anyone without adjustable pedals has this vibration.

I have it. Standard non-adjustable pedals.
