Hi stevens,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to follow up with them for you if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.

Front tire out of balance will be only noticable between 50 and 70mph.
if the vibration is also noticable at lower or higher speeds then the problem is somewhere else.

Not sure but my new 1500 has road noise in the steering wheel. Its depends on the road I am travelling on.. this truck has less than 1000k. Not even sure if this is normal as it is very slight viberation.

Can you try to define the issue a little more? speeds that the vibration happens at, does it happen when launching from a dead stop, or in general when speeding up? can you feel it when you brake? Does steering seem "flighty" or looser than normal? Also, how many miles on the truck?

My first thought is a worn joint somewhere in the steering. Tie Rod joints maybe?
