But I got to admit that stock suspension seem have a extremely low chance of getting death wobble.

Very unlikely but it does happen

I had a 2nd gen that this developed on. I always heard the top fuel dragster guys talk that when they would get the tire shakes that it would shake so hard they couldn't see.

Well that was my Dodge. It was a completely stock 2nd gen with 200k. BUt I had gone through all the suspension previously and this occured. Then replace the stabilizer...no dice. When back and check the track bar and it was shot after 1 year and less than 10k miles.

So a new track bar and I had read about the alignment settings on the net so I installed the eccectric bolts and got a good alignment.

This seemd to cure it.

BUt I cleared the highway a couple of times and when it hits all hell is coming loose and people were really good about getting out of my way. Certainly shook the mud and rust off the truck also.

You should try google and search Dodge Death Wobble. You'll get a few hits and many are from stock vehicles. I think I remember some youtube videos too.

Here try this one.
