Angry Vibrating Pedal Fix?????

I know that there was a thread going on here a while back, but I was wondering if anyone ever found a good solution to this problem. Somedays it's not so bad, but then others it really gets to me. Today is one of those days, so please help me fix this thing!

Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Default Tires?

There is no consensus on the cause. I theorized it was the crappy Goodyear Wrangler HPs and eventually put my money where my mouth was and replaced them with Firestone Destination A/Ts.

In my case, the vibration is gone and it is like driving an entirely different truck.

Some say there is "no way" it's the tires. I respectfully disagree.

Mine only vibrates at exactly 2000 rpm's. I wonder how the tires could be doing that? IMO it's probably natural engine harmonics.

I'm glad to see there's a thread on this. I just purchased my 1500 two weeks ago and noticed the vibration. I was about to take it in.

I took mine in to the dealer and had the tech drive it. He said that he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary and to wait to see if it got worse. Well it doesn't seem to get any worse, just enough to annoy someone that drives it on a regular basis. I don't know why he couldn't feel it.....it is not overpowering, but it is there for sure.

I was wondering if anyone with different wheels and tires still notice the vibration. I know that some people still feel it with aftermarket tires, but I am not sure if they are still running the stock rims.
