The pulsating shake happens when you are driving or when you are slowing down and applying the brakes?

Is your rig equipped with a steering stabilizer?

 

[jbmobbs]

It happenes when im driving (no brakes) and yes it has a rancho dual steering stabilizer.

Any other inputs......all info is welcome. Please I really need to figure this out ...

 

[BAILEY1]

Maybe the stabilizers need to be replaced. All the bushing look good?

 

[jbmobbs]

I replaced them 2 months ago tho Lol I'm wondering if it may be my tires

Does it get worse when applying the brakes? Could be warped rotors.

No only happens when I'm driving. Its mostly between 30 and 50 mph it completely disappears around 85 mph

Sounds like wheel hub/ bearings to me. Jack up the truck see if you can wiggle the tire and rim with a hand at 12 and 6 if there is wiggle you have found problem.

A friend of mind had a cracked rotor or wheel mount on one side that caused a lot of shaking once. I forget which one but he said the mechanic said he sees it all the time on rams.

There are actually videos on YouTube about rams shaking violently in the front end. I think they've nick named it the death shake. It's particular to rams not any other brand. I'll see if I can find one of those videos and post it.

Sorry I was wrong... They are calling it the death Wobble. Watch this video and see if this is what your truck does.

There is also a video of how someone cured the problem with a steering stabilizer. I think someone mentioned that in another post above.

Death wobble is caused by a bad track bar........I replaced rotors last night. Still shakes. Bearings are fine. I rotated wheels and it still comes from the same location.

Hi Ive been reading alot on here, but have just now made an account. Something that could be causing your vibration could be your front u-joints, I am not positive just an idea worth checking out. Good luck!
