Is deathwobble a problem on 4/5th gens

I had the so-called death wobble in my 2006 Laramie 1500 and decided not to deal with it and traded it in on my 2019 RAM.

Place I used to work had a fleet of Fords, mostly Explorers with an F150 and F250 thrown in. I had a 2017 F250 work truck that had predictable death wobble at 15k. Smack an expansion joint on a curve at highway speed and off she would go and would not stop until you stopped the truck. Local Ford dealer has morons in their service department and they just shrugged and said there wasn’t a fix.

Truck was ordered through GSA and they paid all of $27k for a crew cab long bed 4x4 XL with the 6.2 gas. Fords are the cheapest option for government and fleet vehicles, especially government vehicles.

This area is Dodge country. I have never heard of a Dodge with that problem. Our local dealer has a solid service department so that may help. I bought a Dodge because of the local dealer and I liked the truck. I actually like the aluma-duty too, but the local Ford dealer just flat sucks.

You heard it now. I had the so-called death wobble in my 2006 Laramie 1500 and decided not to deal with it and traded it in on my 2019 RAM.

You had something different, death wobble is strictly a solid axle issue.... Unless your 06 1500 had a solid front axle

I must be lucky because I have owned the following 4x4 Dodges and never experienced death wobble once.

1998 - 1500
2001 - 2500
2003 - 2500
2004 - 2500
2010 - 2500
2015 - Power Wagon

I also owned a 1994 Jeep Wrangler and a 2008 F-350 and no death wobble with those either.

My 2010 F250 crew has never had an iota of death wobble in 160,000mi of rough roads and a constant 2000lbs of gear in the bed.
