So here is my issue.
I bought a used 2014 Ram Laramie 4 x 4. Ever since I've had the truck it shakes when I go over 65MPH.
I have had new tires put on it ,balanced, new front struts,etc. When I am cruising above 65 MPH and put the cruise control on the shaking seems to calm down. I have ruled out tires (3 sets no change) It has been balanced 4 times. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with drive shaft . Any help would be appreciated

Did you have the runout on the rims checked when you had tires mounted? I had the same issue and had to have two rims straightened and a road force balance to get it tamed. If I ever swap rims on my truck it won’t be for looks, sizing, or load rating—it will be because the OEM Laramie wheels get bent too easily.

Very common on crew cab 4wds. Mine has done it since I bought it 3 years ago.

Thanks for the input makes me feel a little better
The part that has me baffled is the fact that it seems to get better when using cruise control
